I'm too scared to lucid dream!?

Question

I have read all about lucid dreaming and recently i have gotten very close to full lucidity. But now i feel i cant go on, because im too scared.

Im 16(maybe im too young... nah), basically im scared of sleep paralysis and having lucidic nightmares. The other night i dreamt i was in a weird world, this gang in my class wanted to torture me and maybe kill me, no one trusted me, people were dying around me, i could not recognize any places, there were weird invisible entities that were killing people, this gang got a hold of me and tortured me(i could feel the pain), in the dream i was always running or escaping from something, and i was continuously worried about the future and what was going to happen next and i woke up a little sweaty and my heart was racing very fast.

Other times, people i know very well die in my dream, and it seems completely real and it stresses me out a lot.

Because of these dreams ive stopped myself from dreaming, how do i stop these kind of dreams? HELP!

Answer 1

maybe you should think about things unrelated to death and torture before you go to bed.

Answer 2

I think that you are very creative and your mind is creating scenes that you might be creating because highschool is a scary time for many of us.  It is a time of both good and bad like all experiences, but it is our first time really starting to get a taste of the adult world.  These types of dreams will also be happening in any situation of change.  College and/or new jobs can be nerve wracking and you might have bad dreams too, but remember that the people who are actors in your dreams may not feel the way they appear.  New relationships can also do this.  Don't worry because these situations are only in your mind and quite normal.  If they get real creative you may want to consider some creative writing and make a cool story.  Just change the names so you don't offend friends

Answer 5

dreams are things collected by the brain during the day and reformed by your brain at night when you dream. oh and the middle part of your brain (i forgot the name) controls what is real and whatnot turns off when you dream so its all fake. to answer your question im not entirely sure what to do but just have a good day and have fun
