I trained myself to lucid dream when I was younger too, I used it to cure recurring nightmares I was having. I don’t lucid dream anymore but when the same themes come up in dreams I have now they don’t have the scary endings anymore.
Whenever dreams take a turn for the fucky, I just close my eyes in the dream and just…imagine going back in time for a “redo”. Often, the same thing will happen, so if it’s more stubborn, I’ll close my eyes and imagine something else happening. I don’t know how else to describe it, but…I mean, it’s really just that simple. And it’s not like I’m always lucid dreaming when I do it, either.
I remember one time, I actually experienced sleep paralysis. My eyes were cracked open, I could see the chair I was sleeping in, and the person at the receptionist’s desk (was waiting for some appointment), but I couldn’t move. I didn’t see any freaky demon shit or panic, I just went “Oh, shit, this is sleep paralysis, huh?”
I tried moving my limbs, but the best I could do was a weak finger twitch…until I “imagined” myself lifting my arm. I just thought of the action, the motion of my hand moving from it’s resting place on my leg to a spot in the air, and it worked. But I was still asleep. Wack.
