Now I know what you mean by the nightmares!!!
They started last night. For a few seconds, I'd start dreaming of scary stuff-weird-but I was lucid enough to be able to stop them in just a few seconds so they didn't turn into full-blown nightmares. This happened over and over for what seemed like 2 hours. I woke up this morning with that hungover feeling I thought I'd gotten rid of, and slept 6 hrs, less sleep than I think I need with my current state of mental health.
I'm really worried about my regimen now because I don't think I can deal with nightmares. I've had enough real-life nightmares in the past that I don't want to go there in all the ugliness. I really make it a point in my life to be around beauty as much as possible - nature, art, positive ideas and affirmations, healthy people.
Since I was able to stop them from manifesting last night, maybe my awareness/lucidity while I dream would be able to stop them permanently? I don't know since I've never dealt with nightmares before. But when I am lucid of my dreams, I don't get a very restful sleep at all. I'll have to see how the next couple of nights go. This is, at the least, very dissapointing.
