Could Lucid Dreaming Act to Resolve Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

Lucid Dreaming Foundation Seeks Donations to Fund Scientific Research!

Can you guess the most common mental illness in the U.S. and much of the world? According to researchers, anxiety disorders affect almost one in five Americans with Generalized Anxiety Disorder affecting 6.8 million adults.

Sadly, anxiety related symptoms seem much more common amongst young people.  There almost 50% report depressive disorder or anxiety symptoms.  

Many people avoid the typical pharmacological treatments due to troubling side effects. Others avoid traditional treatments due to lack of insurance, competent professionals or financial resources.

Does any good news exist?

The Lucid Dreaming Foundation believes so, and seeks $20,000 in donations to support scientific studies on the use of lucid dreaming as a means to resolve anxiety disorders.

Lucid Dreaming as a New Approach to Resolve Anxiety?

Lucid dreamers have reported resolving Generalized Anxiety Disorder and panic attacks, anecdotally.  

Some report that lucid dreaming has shown them how the mind works and how to mindfully recognize the process that leads to severe anxiety and panic attacks.  

By watching this in lucid dreams, they then understand how to subvert the process in the waking state, and resolve the anxiety and neutralize the panic. But to date, no actual studies have confirmed what many lucid dreamers know!

The Benefit of Using Lucid Dreaming?

While many lucid dreamers have used lucid dreaming to resolve recurring nightmares, phobias and other inner issues, the general public and many in the psychological community fail to see the usefulness of lucid dreaming. The Lucid Dreaming Foundation and experienced lucid dreamers know that lucid dreaming has a number of advantages in dealing with inner issues, such as the following:

Natural and easy to train,

Provides a sense of internal locus of control,

Provides 'insight' into the mind's process,

Often shows the person how to make the appropriate inner adjustments,

May lead to other alternative healing modalities, much like the idea of lucid dreaming led to Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) to end PTSD nightmares (and IRT does not require lucid dreaming, but evolves from a basis in the lucid dreaming process of influencing inner events).

Besides resolving generalized anxiety and panic attacks, lucid dreaming may assist the field of psychology in understanding how the subconscious processes beliefs and emotions, which in turn may lead to new discoveries and better healing modalities.

What Goal Has the Lucid Dreaming Foundation Created for 2024?

The Lucid Dreaming Foundation would like to raise $20,000 to support two or more research studies in the use of lucid dreaming as a means to resolve Generalized Anxiety Disorder and panic attacks. The research studies will be performed at universities, and published in refereed scientific journals.
