Stress Dreams

[72jay]

Lucid dreaming can let you control/modify dreams, and even turn a nightmare into a good dream (known from experience ) And its a totally awesome feeling when it happens.
But even the when you know 'this is a dream' (but have no control) its pretty cool and can have a similar effect
Its also possible to have some control/modify ability without being lucid.

That said, ofcourse you can't 'catch' every nightmare. Getting to the point of being able to lucid dream also takes time and effort...
* You'd deff need to keep a dream log/journal
* Be able to get more than 8 hours of sleep at night (or at least 8+ hours rest even if u don't sleep the whole time)
* Can't say on the meds, but stress will for sure work against you here.

I got to the point of being 'ok' at it ... but I think it took a couple years practice, and was best one winter when I was able to get 8-to-10 hours in bed every night.
Aside from tons of 'normal' dreams, Sometimes I'd get true lucid dreams, sometimes they'd be semi-lucid, and sometimes I'd have bits of control without being lucid.
One time I even had a "lucid...but no dream"
