ive had bad dreams but nothing super horrible in recent years because ive constantly been working on lucid dreaming. ive learned to control my dreams, and most of the time i can do what i want, where i want, and when i want. its really hard to hold on to a solid lucid dream though. u lose control because natural instincts take over, but when u can hold on its incredible.

for example: in a lucid dream u somehow make yourself realize that you are in a dream, and u can manipulate what is goin on to do whatever u like. the only reason this is very very difficult is because of your natural instincts. say you realize your in a dream and want to jump out the 3rd story window and fly. well u can do it...but u go to jump out of the window and your instincts stop you and you ask yourself..what if this isnt a dream? i am killing myself if i do this, i must be stupid. thats just a small example. it is very very hard to control and u have to train yourself to do it, but its fun! very few ever have semi-lucid dreams (where they just realize theyre in a dream but have no control) and obviously even fewer can learn to purposely do it. its sumthing ive kinda....worked really hard towards lol.

one reason why ppl dont like to mess with it however is because you can have out of body experiences(OBE's). basically meaning...you are in a fully lucid dream, you leave your body and u can see yourself in your bed (hence..out of body) and you can go anywhere and do anything ud like to...but the catch is...once u realize you are gone u have no idea how to get back to your body and its the most terrifying realization imagineable. u cant literally cant wake up unless u can get back to your body....its very very scary. another side effect to having OBEs is sleep paralysis. u wake up and u are concious mentally but you cant move your body, u have no control over it whatsoever. this happens because you wake up during your deep REM (so they think...they dont exactly know for sure) this also is very very very frightening. there is nothing u can do, u are completely helpless. u cant even lift your head all u can do is sit and blankly stare.

other then a few OBE's and sleep paralysis though...i dont really have nightmares (though personally i think sleep paralysis far more frightening then dreams, apart from night terrors). if i start having a nightmare or a bad dream i can make myself realize its a dream and wake myself up.
