The most commonly asked question about lucid dreaming is whether it can be considered addictive<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s really no hard and fast rules when it comes to this, because everyone has their own definition of what “addiction” means, and which ones mean different things to different people. <\/p> I myself have a very vague memory of ever being addicted to anything, so maybe I don’t. <\/p> But the fact that you’re asking the question indicates that you’re probably curious to find out if there’s any way you can become addicted to lucid dreaming.<\/p> The truth is that while it’s not technically an addiction per se, there are many forms of “romantic dependence” that can be related to lucid dreaming<\/a>, namely: binging on your partners desire for you, wanting to control every aspect of your life, becoming so involved in your own world that you’re missing out on real life, and so on. <\/p> To put it in very simple terms, these are forms of escapism where the dreamer engages himself in activities that he considers to be more fulfilling than the one he is living in. <\/p> While this may seem like a good thing on the surface, it can actually be a very unhealthy habit. <\/p> The best way to escape from this (if there is any way to escape at all) is to simply cut off all interaction with the dreamer while he is in his lucid state, and keep a lookout for those warnings that he is giving himself. <\/p> Once he stops dreaming he will suddenly be very aware of the fact that he is “retreating”, and this is a sign that it’s time to back away from the computer and take a break.<\/p> It’s important to note that this doesn’t necessarily mean that you shouldn’t do anything while in a lucid dream<\/a>. If you’re not “dreaming”, then you can do whatever you want. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreaming<\/a> is simply a means for you to gain access to powerful abilities and experiences that you wouldn’t otherwise have, and as such it can be incredibly powerful and helpful in some cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To answer the question is lucid dreaming<\/a> addictive, no, it’s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, lucid dreaming<\/a> isn’t addictive, although there are a few things you should know if you decide to pursue it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, the same factors that make it addictive also make it a very pleasurable experience. Overall, though, lucid dreaming isn’t addictive, but there are a few things you should know such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main thing to remember is that when you’re first starting out, you’ll be sure you’re dreaming, but mastering control of your dream may still be a little bit difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This transition will happen gradually as you become a master of your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people find that their nightmares tend to worsen after the first couple of nights of lucid dreaming<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For most people, this isn’t a huge concern because their nightmares usually come at random and are unconnected to any particular dreaming pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is actually what is called “dream tourism.” Many people who engage in this hobby also report having strange phone calls or messages from deceased loved ones in their dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, this again is a personal thing and everyone has different experiences with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you first enter REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, you can often see visions of future events, or sometimes rematches of yourself, depending on your REM stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you get more skilled at lucid dreaming, you can begin to see yourself performing actions that you’ve never done before, such as driving your car, performing arts and crafts, or even sleeping with someone you haven’t seen in forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My use of lucid dreams has led to some interesting conversations with my friends concerning this and several other issues pertaining to the use of dream interpretation and the subconscious mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What I have come to find is that although lucid dreams are certainly a fascinating phenomenon, they may not be all that they seem to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a difference between what we generally label as “lucid dreams” and what we know scientifically to be lucid dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreaming is a natural state of consciousness which occurs when you are deeply relaxed, mentally focused and in tune with your surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreams<\/a> are definitely more of an occurrence than a state of being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most lucid dreaming<\/a> is not even consciously thought about, much less recognized as such, and that is what makes them so addictive of escapism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreaming is actually a state of mind rather than an actual state of being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is nothing more to it than that, although I should note that there are people who can easily fall asleep very quickly and have no recollection of actually falling asleep or of their dream even occurring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I believe this occurs because the subconscious mind is extremely busy filling in the blanks and completing the information loops that it had left behind while the conscious mind was busy accessing its own memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fact is that lucid dreams<\/a> are very beneficial to your health, but it is important to realize that they are not something you should try to force. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They may be difficult to fall asleep in at first, but it will get better, and eventually you will find yourself able to relax even in your sleep and lucid dream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you realize this fact, however, you can then use lucid dreams as a method for relieving stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no reason to worry about whether or not you can become addicted to lucid dreaming too much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The only thing that you need to remember is that you have the ability to control your dreams and if you do, the world will bend over backwards to accommodate you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You will be able to visit other people’s dreams as well as your own. This is something that you need to know because it may become a problem at some point in your life. It will probably happen to you sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not a morning person or cannot stay up all night then there are plenty of things that you can do to limit your chances of waking up at all hours of the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first way to limit this is to get a alarm that will wake you up automatically in the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you cannot sleep through the night, try drinking orange juice before bedtime. Another trick is to do light exercise, such as taking a walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You do not have to do anything difficult. The idea here is to do something that will get your mind off of whatever it is that you are worrying about or trying to do so that it does not become as obsessed with you as it could otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another thing that you can do to help you limit your chances of becoming addicted to lucid dreaming<\/a> is to not think about it during the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a dream, it can still be stored in your subconscious while you are awake, but it is not as easily retrieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What this means is that you cannot keep thinking about the dream while you are awake. You have to allow your brain to forget the dream when you are sleeping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be difficult, but just by doing something simple like closing your eyes for a few minutes before bed, it will have a positive effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Majority of people report that lucid dreaming makes up only a tiny percentage of ones dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be an indication that they are not sensitive to the conscious dreams that they do have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreaming is when you are fully awake, but still have an awareness of the dream world, and can still make plans and accomplish goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people, when they wake up, do not remember anything that happened during their dreams, and have only vague recollections of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people, however, claim to have had many lucid dreams in a single night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreaming can occur while one is asleep, with the intention of tricking your subconscious into believing that you are awake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreams<\/a> are considered to be dreams that contain important or relevant information for your waking life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is because many people are able to control the dream by thinking certain things while they are asleep. Lucid dreams<\/a> may contain information about past lives, future lives, memories of loved ones, or anything else that you wish to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are having problems falling asleep at night, and are afraid that you might be having a nightmare, there is a chance that lucid dreaming is the cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is because, while you sleep, your subconscious brain will send signals to your conscious mind about the contents of your dream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you wake up and try to recall the dream, you are likely to find out that it is completely different from what you remember. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In majority of cases, lucid dreaming<\/a> is harmless, although people who are highly sensitive to light and sound may experience nightmares and have trouble sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreaming is an experience that most of us have had at some point or another but it is also an ability that only a select few possess, namely the lucid dreamers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucid dreaming is a state in which you are aware you are dreaming while your subconscious mind is in a state of full understanding and control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If this was not true lucid dreaming would not be able to produce any dreams or experiences other than those that are lucid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many experienced neophytes<\/a> show extreme passion for lucid dreaming because lucid dreaming is their conduit to unlimited creativity and psychic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIs Lucid Dreaming Addictive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
– Experiencing unpleasant feelings such as fear in a lucid dream state can happen in real life, just like in real life. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
– Lucid dreaming often leads to vivid dreams that you can re-live many times. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
