Lucid Dreaming and Facing Nightmares: Can You Control Fear? - (September 30, 2024, 12:00:00 AM)

In my last lucid dream, I decided to confront a nightmare instead of running away. It was terrifying at first, but once I realized I could control the situation, the fear started to fade. Has anyone else tried this in their lucid dreams? How do you manage fear while still staying in control?


Facing nightmares in lucid dreams is tough, but when you can do it, it’s empowering. I tried once, and the fear disappeared when I realized I was in control.

I’ve always wanted to confront my nightmares, but I get too scared and wake up. Maybe I need more practice with lucid dreaming.

I’ve faced my nightmares a few times in lucid dreams, and it’s actually helped me manage my fear in real life. It’s like exposure therapy, but in your sleep!
