One man described the effects that “too much” lucid dreaming can have on a person.

Lucid dreaming means that you are sleeping and dreaming, but are aware that you are dreaming.

This means that you even gain a certain degree of control over your dreams and are able to consciously influence your environment.

Amazingly, this is a skill that can actually be learned and is not something you are born with. However, it is not recommended for people with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, psychosis or bipolar disorder.

Lucid dreaming is also practiced in numerous religions around the world, including Hinduism and Buddhism.

Even the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle described something that sounded very much like becoming conscious in a dream.

As with many things, there is an online community where people can share their thoughts on common interests.

A man posted a video on YouTube describing the effects lucid dreaming had on a person he saw online.

He recalled that the person who regularly shared posts about their experiences claimed that they could control things in the real world just as well as in dreams.

The YouTuber admitted that he had tried it himself when he was 13, but had no success.

They further explained that they had also addressed the issue of “time dilation” in dreams, meaning that time passes at a different speed.

So you can sleep for two hours, but it feels like a day has passed.

The YouTuber said that the person supposedly has a lucid dream in every dream.

In a disturbing development, the YouTuber claimed the person wanted to “have a nightmare” but did not wake up.

He also described how a moderator had allegedly warned other users that the person might have just fantasized about lucid dreams rather than actually experiencing them.

Even more alarming was the person’s description of wanting to dream “constantly” and said that if he did so he could “fall into a coma or even die.”

Eventually, the author claimed to have an “eternal dream” and did not post anything after that.

It’s not entirely clear what happened, but it seems we’ll never know.

While lucid dreaming is a skill that can be learned, as with anything else, you should always be mindful of your safety while doing it.

According to BBC, Nirit Soffer-Dudek, a clinical psychology researcher at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, said: “In the mass media, everyone talks about how lucid dreaming will change your life and how great it is… (But) almost no one talks about any dangers or precautions.”

“I think you have to be more careful and think about who this is good for and who it is not good for.”
