Lucid dreams EVERY time I sleep on my back?

[Anonymous]

I've made it habit of no falling asleep on my back because of all the scary and creepy things I've heard about lucid dreaming. But when I get home from work, I'm so tired that I lay down for a nap while on my phone and fall asleep on my back. I have lucid dreams literally EVERY day/time that I fall asleep on my back.

Does this happen to you guy/girls? A lot of the times the dreams aren't scary, but the cool thing is that you're in complete control.. until you try to wake up from it. Sometimes it creeps me out because it happens so often. :/

This is TOTALLY normal for lucid dreaming. Lucids usually happen at extreme exhaustion (not typically at night) but when you're taking a nap after some sort of activity and your REM is crazy. This is the point at which you can have your most intense dreams ever and actually feel like you're inside of them. If outer body experience interest you at all, these are this time of exhaustion (and laying on your back) is the perfect time to try it and once you feel yourself in the dream, embrace your awareness and you can try to actually control your dream. Some people can actually control them so much so that they can "leave their body" and see themselves napping on the couch or bed or wherever they are.. TRIPPY. If you're going to try this though people say to set an alarm or have a friend who can wake you up because APPARENTLY when in a OBE you can't necessarily wake your body up because you're no longer in it... CRAZY RIGHT
Anyways to ACTUALLY answer your question... YES, ITS TOTALLY NORMAL, TOTALLY FREAKY AND KINDA AWESOME

Oh man.. ok not gonna lie this scares me a bit. That's one reason why I force myself to wake up once I'm aware that I'm lucid dreaming, I feel like I might not be able to wake up and I panic. I NEVER purposely tried to lucid dream, i always try to avoid it haha. I think from now on I'll start setting an alarm when I'm taking a nap.. gah I'm freaked out now :p

Having weird boring dreams. I'll try sleeping on my back this time xD
I saw it all already in my dreams, so it's not really that scary. Chased by police, Michael Myers, Jason, Freddy Krueger, vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghost, evil spirits, witches, spiders, cockroaches, snakes, even my dead relatives. When I have a lucid dream, I wake up happier. I usually run, levitate, then glide down. I get upset when it ends, it's rare for me. So in my eyes, you're lucky.

It's different for me, like when I realize I'm in a lucid dream I freak out lol. I try to wake myself up but it takes a few seconds. It's funny you say that you wake up happier, when I wake up, I feel really good, it's so weird haha

man i´d love to have them more often. i have them 1-2 times a week by luck (i´ve been training, because otherwise i had only one once a month or so) but they never get scary.

[Asker]

I think the only reason I find it scary is because I feel like I might not be able to wake up from it. Sounds crazy but yah

[genericname85]

i don´t know if that´s normal but if it gets out of hand, i just open my eyes (not in the dream but actually). works every time for me. what might work for you is: spin arround, if you are in a scenario, you don´t like. your brain usually loses track and starts another scenario. you are guaranteed to wake up so don´t fear. what is scary and actually may happen is sleep paralysis but that is only temporary and the key for that is not to panic.

the only thing that worries me is that there are theories, that a lucid dream is basically not as recreational as "sleeping" so you have to regular sleep in addition to it.

Is it the same recurring dream, or are
they different each time,

If it's the same, tell me about it
if not, I can't help you ^.~

[Asker]

Nope, it's never the same recurring dreams, they're always completely different. Well I have dreamt about this girl I'm talking to more than once who I'm in love with haha, but that's a different story.

[HelloHandsome]

Dude, you're soo lucky! I've been trying to increase and control my dreams with no success :(
How cool is it to be able to control your dreams? You could basically have all your fantasies enacted with no harm done :D

[Asker]

Haha, guess I am a little lucky. It just started out of nowhere, they're happening so often that I was somewhat concerned. But I guess it is kinda cool, once you realize you're dreaming you can do anything. Only thing for me is that once I realize I'm lucid dreaming I freak out and try to wake myself up haha

According to my religion, it is always the best to say prayers and sleep on your RIGHT side. It is healthier too. Every time I have nightmares, creepy or lucid dreams, when I wake up I notice that I have been sleeping on my left side or on my back.

[Asker]

Interesting, I get them when I sleep on my left side/back also. Hm.

Yeah, because when the human sleeps, he becomes more vulnerable to demons. So, it is always good to guard yourself with prayers.

Medically, it is has been proven it is healthier to sleep on your right side:
1- So that the liver won't press on the rest of the organs like the stomach.
2- Because the left lung is smaller than the right lung, and an equal amount of air will enter them if you sleep on your right side.
3- Because the heart tilts slightly to the left, so it is better to sleep on your right side to let it do its function easily.
4- Because the left kidney is bigger than the right kidney, and it will attract more blood to it if you sleep on your right side.

There are more, but I just mentioned few.

[Asker]

Oh wow, I never knew about that stuff, Thanks, I've heard about the whole demon thing, which also freaks me out big time, one of the reasons I try to avoid sleeping on my back.

Again, thanks for the info!

Yeah, my sister usually doesn't say prayers and she always feels suffocated, like a huge "weight" is sleeping on her chest, and has a lot of nightmares. Spirituality is important to one's life, and it healthier to stay connected to it.

Say your prayers and sleep on your right side and don't stress yourself a lot before sleeping, and you are welcome. Hope for you a comfortable healthy sleeping. :)

Cool, that is how you get them, always wondered. How about you just lay in your bed sideways?

[Asker]

Well, I only lay on my back because most of the time I'm on my phone texting or something. I just end up falling asleep lol
