I’ve heard lucid dreaming can become a chore. Ie the person literally lucid dreams every night and eventually bores of it.

- WesolyKubeczek 3y agoIt very likely prevents you from resting properly.

- david-gpu 3y agoThe novelty wears off. Bear in mind that you don't control when they occur. Also, a lucid dream is not quite the same experience as being normally awake -- you are still dreaming and accessing your memories is surprisingly difficult, so you will typically not remember what you had set to achieve in your next lucid dream. That said, I think the biggest realization of being a frequent lucid dreamer is: how is it possible that most of us don't even realize that we are dreaming? Dreams feel completely different from real life.
- ianai 3y agoThe person who told me that made it sound like they were lucid dreaming every dream. Like they learned the trick so well they couldn’t turn it off. Don’t know how realistic that is.
- david-gpu 3y agoYeah, that can happen. You eventually learn to stop controlling the dreams and instead let them unfold like a movie. They become not very different from non-lucid dreams in a practical sense, other than the fact that you still know they are an illusion.
- Aerbil313 3y agoYou can very well control when they occur, e.g. if you do WILD (wake-induced lucid dream) techniques. There’s a lot of myths around LD. The novelty may wear off for some people, right. I still pretty much enjoy it, though.
- david-gpu 3y ago>>> I’ve heard lucid dreaming can become a chore >> Bear in mind that you don't control when they occur > You can very well control when they occur, e.g. if you do WILD We are talking of different scenarios. It becomes a chore when you are lucid dreaming frequently without any prior intention to do so. The way out of that is letting go of your desire of controlling your lucid dreams, and instead let them play out like a movie. You are still lucid, since you still know it's all an illusion, just like when you watch a movie IRL.
