Blogpost #3: Negative - Effects of Lucid Dreaming

Many people push themselves to become lucid in dream again because some things which happen in there dreaming state, is favor for them. And because of that, we didn't realize that some thing are not right when we keep doing this forced of being lucid in a dream. i am sure one of you guys, push yourself in coming back in your dream to continue what is happening there, right? Don't worry because I am one of you who usually do that every time i had a beautiful lucid dream.

But based on what I read in the internet, I realized that there are some things which we never get attention with it like some negative - effects of the lucid. I write about this stuffs because I want you to know guys some things that we do and might actually think that it can't affect our real life would be nothing. Actually, it affect our entire life even the unforgettable hurtful dream may affect our daily life.

According to the article,"Would excessive lucid dreaming be dangerous?" by Tim Post on lucidipedia.com, unexpected lucid dreaming good for us. But forcing ourselves to go back in what we are dreaming even we are awake can affect us. Some people want to experience lucid dreaming only because they want it just for the of fun and desire.

       And after they experienced it, and somehow they are not satisfied yet,the tendency is people will come back to sleep to be lucid again or to continue what they are doing in their dreams. It seems that they really wanting it more than anything else just like a drug which you have addicted of. And from that, pushing us to lucid again in our sleep cause us to lose our sleep and gets dizzy when we work or will study. It's like that you choose the dreaming state and treating it as a real one. So, that's the point when you get a negative effect from lucid dreaming when you got addicted from it.

Next thing is, when you got addicted to it, there's a possibility that you'll be alienated because of your lucidity. It's like you feel that you have a power like some superheroes that save the world in televisions and movies. They will feel it because they thought that they are the only one can do the lucid dreaming. And because of that, everything can cause dissociation between real life and fantasy for you. By the time you are recovering from those of dreams in your lucid dream you may feel very exhausted.

From the article of Ryan Hurd,"Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous?" in the website of dreamstudies.org, can really satisfies that lucid dreaming is not dangerous to our health especially in out mental health. Maybe  the best way to have control of wanting or being addicted to it is making a boundary for reality and in dream state. Prioritize real life over those dreams. Because those dream was came  with those result because we control it, remember we are the architect and at the same time the main character of our dream. In case, we can prevent wanting dreams more than to live with real life.
Many people critic some topics before they have the real information about a thing. Sometimes, they just grabbed some information which what they'd heard from other people. Like, for lucid dreaming, many people have their own perspective on how does the lucid dream affect our reality and communication for real people. But actually it depends, upon the person who experienced it on how he or she will explain the truth between those lines.

        "There’s no evidence that lucid dreaming can bring on mental illness." . A strong quotation of Ryan Hurd that really satisfy that you can never have a negative effects on doing the lucid dreaming unless it is too much for you to do it.

 Same thing with  thoughts of Tim Post that,"They simply do not matter about those dreams and would only clutter up our waking life concerns".You should leave the thought which are formulated in your dreaming state because when you actually brought those things in real life. There's a tendency that you can have the bad effects of lucid dreaming. Because reality has a big differences between those lucid dreaming and you should always remember that.

           It may have some trouble in doing the lucid dreaming but it will never affect you unless you do not treat it as a "Safe Drug". Because even if is safe drug, there' s always the word drug which we all know that it is harmful to us.
