 Maliniara Jasurian says I do lucid dream recently and I'm kind of scared that I might be stuck there in my dream so why do I feel that way? There's a few reasons for that and in my opinion at least and that is that firstly you have kind of like a fake subjective description of what lucid dreaming is like and this might be based on let's say experiences you've heard on Reddit or forums, the things you've heard people say in the comments section of videos like like these or people like TikToks for example they're quite an events but they're quite sensationalist on TikTok they tend to like hype things up just to get more attention and that's fine right but what happens is that when you describe lucid dreaming in a way that makes it sound either incredibly exciting and unbelievably easy to do or incredibly difficult or dangerous to do let's say people are worried they might get stuck in the lucid dream or they might have nightmares or be whatever it is right it kind of skews your perspective of it so that you end up it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy so you end up actually making it feel like you are stuck in a lucid dream even though you're not really stuck it's just your kind of your subjective experience of it because you expect that you'll be stuck it's kind of hard to wrap your head around but think of it like this let's say you've never heard about lucid dreaming before and then the first time you hear about it you read a comment saying like hey I just did this crazy thing called lucid dreaming where I you know become self-aware of my dreams and it was great but then what happens is I actually got stuck in the dream and I was unable to escape and it felt like I was just kind of running and never really getting anywhere right let's say that's the first thing you hear about lucid dreaming now what that's gonna do is subconsciously you're gonna think even if you're not aware of it you're gonna be thinking subconsciously that when I have a lucid dream I'll get stuck in the dream and so when you have one even though you're not actually stuck right nothing's nothing's actually holding you there and like keeping you from moving subjectively to your dreaming awareness it kind of feels like you're stuck and so all of that to say that you should watch very carefully that the type of information you're consuming especially about lucid dreaming but also about reality in general I mean I don't want to go into the whole you know why should turn off the media and not listen to kind of fear mongering headlines and stuff like that but you got to be careful the information you consume about any topic will affect your subconscious beliefs at least a little bit so let's say if you read a headline or even just a comment saying like I just had a really scary lucid dream that has some kind of weight to it that has some kind of power even just a little bit that has some kind of power to actually influence what you actually experience in a lucid dream or it has the power to influence whether you have a lucid dream and that's a whole other thing let's say if you're trying a lucid dream really hard right every day you're trying to do it and your you become obsessed let's say and I've known a few people like this they become obsessed with wanting to do it so they're in forums every day they're in comments they're just trying everything they possibly can to actually have a lucid dream and what happens is when when they're in that state and then they read a comment from somebody saying like hey I've just been trying a lucid dream for six months nothing's happened I feel like giving up that comment actually has power and it will influence their subconscious mind to believe that it's difficult and so with these people sometimes the easiest solution is just to stop trying you know stop trying to lucid dream stop reading comments and content about lucid dreaming and watching videos about it and just let it happen just you know even if it just means taking a break for a couple of weeks and getting back into it in your own time that's incredibly powerful when you consider the effect that a comment can have on your subconscious mind so in a nutshell yes there's no reason to be scared of lucid dreaming and you need to you need to bear in mind especially that what you think will happen in lucid dream is what will happen usually like 95 percent of the time something crazy like that so let's say if you have this idea that when I have a lucid dream I'm gonna get stuck that will probably happen right whereas I for example have only been kind of stuck or like feel like I've been stuck in a dream one or two times in my life uh because I know that's at a conscious and a subconscious level that it's not going to happen unless you think it's going to happen and the same thing with flying I've very rarely been in a flying dream and then fallen down you know almost all of my flying dreams flying lucid dreams I'm in complete control and the reason for that is that I've I discovered quite early on you know even as a kid when I first started lucid dreaming I kind of discovered that your belief will affect what you are able to do in the lucid dream if you and I'm specifically talking about your subconscious belief if you subconsciously believe that when you fly you'll fall down then it's going to happen that's just that's going to happen inevitably when you try and fly in a lucid dream however when you do um and I teach this in my lucid superpowers program actually which you can find on how to lucid.com but when you do these kind of exercises to change your subconscious beliefs about things like the laws of physics because you've got to understand that when you're in a lucid dream the whole world and how it works so like the physics of the world the feel of the dream the mechanics of it whether you're able to fly or not whether you can push your hand through a wall or not these are all based on your schema right your your psychological blueprint of the world and how it's supposed to work right and these these blueprints are really really useful in waking life because they mean that our brains can kind of save bandwidth every time we walk into a room we don't need to consciously think about what color of the walls or what's the texture on the ceiling like you know what's the dimensions and this kind of stuff we don't need to think about that so our brains kind of have this blueprint of what a room should be like and we know that if we walk into a room 99 thousand times out of a hundred thousand if we or no in fact 100 percent of the time when we walk on the floor it's a solid surface you're not going to sink through the floor in the same way that when you walk into a room you know subconsciously you're not going to float up into the air right you have this blueprint of how things are supposed to work and it's very useful for waking life it saves us a lot of time but when it comes to a lucid dream it can hold you back because you can walk into a room and not be able to fly which of course in a lucid dream you want to be able to fly right so in order to do crazy things in a lucid dream right specifically in a lucid dream you need to change your subconscious beliefs about what you should be able to do and that's not easy right that's not it that's why I created a program telling you how to do it because it's not easy and I didn't I didn't find it easy it took me a very long time to figure that stuff out and I had you know one or two years basically of being lucid but not being able to fully fly every single time not being able to be in complete or be in most complete control of the dream scene of manipulating the weather the characters dream portaling that kind of stuff so I hope that answers your question you don't need to worry you will not be stuck in a lucid dream
