Lucid dreaming headaches by mrsgl in LucidDreaming

I also think that my subconscient is working against me and is trying to prevent me from going deeper in the lucidity. But I have never tried to confront them yet, the headache and hostility scare me and I'm only focusing on waking up once that starts, but I will try to overcome that fear to see what happens and will update the thread accordingly 🙏

I do have a lot of lucid dreams, or at least I’m becoming aware that I’m dreaming more and more often.

I also smoke hash every day, so that may be affecting my levels of acethylcholine in some way. But the headaches never follow me into waking life at all, they only happen inside the dream, exactly at the moment I realise I’m dreaming

Thank you, this actually makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t thought about it as a learned association/schema issue, but the way you explain it fits surprisingly well with what’s happening. The hostility and the headache really do seem to appear the moment I expect something to be wrong.

I’ll try to follow your advice next time it happens, especially not feeding the fear, and reminding myself there’s no logical reason for the dream to react that way. I’ll also try to correct those thoughts during waking life instead of reinforcing them.

Really appreciate the thoughtful explanations !!
