Lucid Dreaming?

[Kas_Can_Fly]

Thanks Hashi, your post is most definitely what I wanted and needed to hear. I asked on two lucid dreaming sites too one said speak to my doctor/therapist first and the other everyone just seemed to say yes without considering the implications it might really involve. The reason I asked here too was because I thought it was much more likely people would understand what "PTSD" and "Dissociation" really meant.

I don't want to be persuaded into it with out the persuader having considered the possible negative implications and in this case having put some reality to my fears that way I know whether my fears are or aren't likely to be a problem I can choose if it's something I want to do. At the moment it's something I think I might revisit after some therapy or until I feel a bit more comfortable with the risk of trying it. At the moment I'm not in a risk-taking state of mind! But thank you all very much. :)

I am glad you found the answers you were looking for :-) I do hope you know I was not trying to persuade you into anything, and I did not consider possible negative implications in my first post, simply because I did not think there would be any. Lucid dreaming has always been natural and benevolent for me, and my own experience is really all I have to go on.

I didn't get that opinion from here CrazyHorse but on the Lucid Dreaming forums I asked on, I am very grateful for your opinion as a positive with PTSD, just as I am with Anna and Hashi's experiences too. I wanted PTSD specific information and I got just that. Thanks again!

Good, I am glad :-)

I think the most important thing is to go with what you feel comfortable with and you seem to do that :-) I wish you the best in finding your way to beat those horrible nightmares!
