The dangers of lucid dreaming and the effect that it has on the human mind

Do you all remember this clip from Nightmare on Elm Street? For those of you who are very young and don’t remember or don’t know the burnt face pedophile, his name is Freddy Krueger. He preys on teenagers’ fears and kills them in their sleep. Now, why I am talking about good old Freddy and nightmares? I am talking about him because your nightmares actually mean something. They represent a deep-seated fear or suppressed emotions that can be cured and addressed through, you guessed it lucid dreaming. So, in this video, we’re going to talk about the dangers of lucid dreaming, and how you can change those horrific nightmares, into amazing dreams. Stay tuned.

Danger of lucid dreaming

In part one of this lucid dreaming series, I talked about Louise from Netflix hit romantic thriller series, Behind Her Eyes. I explained how powerful the dream like state was to our ancestors. I also explained how manifesting and magick of all sorts must take place in the dream like state. However, I didn’t cover the concept of a split mind. When we think about a split mind, we think of someone who has gone completely mad. We think of people who can’t tell the difference between what’s real from what is imagined.

In truth, many of the people who we believe to be mad, can be considered by some, to be very sane. In fact, they are suffering from hallucinations and even delusions, because they bridged the gap between the unconscious mind and the conscious mind. As a result, both worlds merge, where a person can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy. For mystics, enlightened scholars, and even demigods, this is a great thing. For daydreaming allows them to manifest amazing things. But for people with pre-existing sickness and mental malware, they can devolve into madness and be harmful to others and even themselves. In truth, the waking dream can become a frightening reality in which one can never really escape from.

In part one, I also talked about the collective unconsciousness. The collective unconsciousness is a term that was coined by the legendary psychologist Carl Jung. Jung believed, much like our ancestors that all humans were indeed interconnected. So much so, that we share memories, emotions, and instincts through a congenial brain that he called the collective consciousness and the collective unconsciousness. So, when we sleep, we tap into the congenial brain that all humanity shares, and start to download information, or in really extreme cases, malware. As a result, our minds are riddled with negative thoughts and emotions. And in many situations, these emotions and memories are not our own.

Can lucid dreams harm you

We inherit them from our ancestors or through Carl Jung’s explanation, we receive information from the collective unconsciousness. Many people fail to realize that your brain, much like your computer or cell phone, makes a great deal of updates at nighttime. This happens because your body shuts completely down so that a skeleton crew of workers can work on the body and mind without interference. This skeleton crew would often sift through the brain, throwing out content that is not useful, and keeping content that is. Sometimes we have far too much content that our bodies have to sift through. As a result, the brain gets clogged and cluttered with negative emotions and thoughts that aren’t completely your own.

This results in you having ideas or visions, that seem very foreign. Or having ideas that don’t really feel like they are your own. In the waking world, we may want to do something wicked and evil, and you really don’t understand why or how. Jack Torrance wanted to drink and later kill his entire family. And Louise wanted to have a forbidden affair with her boss, David. People may want to lash out and abuse loved ones and family members. This happens because the memories from our ancestors stick to the body and mind like a residue and as time goes by, they become so strong, that you feel like you have to take some kind of action in order to stop them. And sadly, in many cases, the action is harmful and even destructive.

Can lucid dreaming cause insanity

Now, I mentioned before that when you sleep, your body also goes into sleep mode. Your mind is taken over by a skeleton crew that managing the activities of the mind body. However, I have yet to mention that much of the information, or the lessons that you learn from the waking world are crystalized during the dream like state. What do I mean by this? Well, have you ever studied and went to sleep and learned that you have a much better grasp on the material the next morning? Have you ever been stuck on a problem or hit a road block, only to fall asleep, wake up, and find the problem resolved? This happens because much of the problem solving that we partake in is done using the subconscious mind, and not the conscious mind.

Does lucid dreaming affect you in real life

However, things can get really shaky when the subconscious mind has way too much information to process. As a result, the brain creates glitches in the system, where undesirable thoughts and even memories are reinforced. This results in phobias, or other deep-seated fears that may seem irrational. Afterall, it was the burnt face man Freddy Krueger himself, who set about to torture people in their dreams. Only, Freddy was feeding off of their worst fears, creating nightmares that drained his victims of their life force, and thus weakening them to a point of death. I believe that Freddy Krueger is analogous to the negative thoughts that clog our brains. These thoughts manifest as nightmares in our sleep, and even plague our waking world. As a result, these thoughts become so strong that they rob us of our ashé, chi, or life-force. They block us from achieving our dreams and fulfilling our destinies. And in most cases, we become completely undone when we unconsciously manifest the nightmares that manifested from our dreams.


Does lucid dreaming have negative effects

Many people talk about the common dangers of lucid dreaming, night terrors, nightmares, and of course, sleep paralysis. However, many of these people are nearly treating the symptoms and not the underlying problem. The underlying problem in my opinion is that we take on way too much stimuli. Just think about all the information that we’re forced to consume daily, between advertisements, Facebook ads, banner ads, click bait, and television commercials. Naturally, we can’t process all of this information, so we throw it our junk folder, which can also be considered our subconscious mind.

Lucid dreaming and manifestation

Only problem is that we’ve become hoarders, with tons and tons of trash that is literally burying us alive. The trash manifest as nightmares, interrupts our sleep patterns so that we have night terrors, and even cause disruptive sleep patterns, which results in sleep paralysis. What’s the solution to all of this? You have to clean your mind! More importantly, you need to keep your mind pure and clean. I know, it’s easier said than done. However, in the next video, I am going to show you how you can purge all of that junk in the mind and began to have better episodes of manifesting and lucid dreaming.



Lucid dreaming can be dangerous when the subconscious mind is overworked and overloaded with too much stimuli. This can cause one to have nightmares, night terrors, and sleep paralysis.
