And for my 20th Lucid Dream this year... In Alice's Wonderland

[oneironeer]

From 5:00AM to 7:00AM, I attempted a Wake Initiated Lucid Dream, and having failed, got up and went back to bed. Down the Rabbit Hole (Rated R) A failed WILD, but an interesting, if not short, lucid dream. I dreamt my coworkers, bosses and I were all walking out to our cars. It was a little dark outside, but the sun was still out. Despite not being a lucid dream, I knew that it was Friday. In my excitement, I yelled, “Have a great weekend!” One of my bosses looked at me funny, like, “Why would you joke about that in front of the other boss?” I then realized that we weren’t going home but we were just walking out the owner. I looked at my watch, and again despite not being lucid, I knew roughly the time it was in the waking world. 7:15 AM. I thought whether it’s 7am or pm, I STILL shouldn’t be at work. We went back inside, where I sat down and the owner, my wife and someone else I don’t remember were all talking. My female boss kept giving me a strange “come on” kind of look, and it clicked. I’m dreaming. Now, randy, I walked instead over to my wife and was about to get it on, but the dream shifted and I felt like I was waking up. I hadn’t remembered my dream music goal, but I DID remember I want to keep these dreams going, and freaking out or fighting it always wakes me up, so I closed my eyes in the dream and relaxed. I opened one eye, and felt a blast of “energy” through it. Was that real or did I just dream it? I closed my eyes and waited, focusing on remaining lucid but staying asleep. Soon I was back in the little room I was in but the people were gone. I looked around the room which had candy and nick-nacks strewn about (what’s it with empty hotel/motel rooms with candy?!). I was determined to have dream sex, so I looked outside the motel window and walked out the door. I walked down a side street while the hour was still around dawn. Darkness still surrounded the buildings, but lights from the street lit up the area. I heard meows above, and looked up to see several long haired white cats jumping out a 2nd story window onto the ledges and awnings nearby. The area had that romanticized, fantasy based red light district quality, so I -THOUGHT- I knew what I’d find up there. I flew to the window, looked inside, and saw an adult Alice… as in In Wonderland! So I flew in through the window, lifted her skirt, and checked to make sure everything was ready. She grabbed me, and… well, I think Peter Pan and Alice just got aquainted. Then I had a false awakening. I knew I had to get ready for work, but my wife was still sleeping. I felt kinda guilty for the previous dream, despite how strange and random it was. Suddenly my alarm was going off in the waking world! Then I didn’t feel so guilty, lol. It was just a dream, afterall!

Nice lucid man Sounds like you had a nice time celebrating your twentieth. Too bad about that false awakening though Just curious Im wondering what you mean by "dream music goal?" Are you trying to play music in a lucid or something?

[oneironeer]

Thanks, lol. Well, as a musician, I'd occasionally dream about some music, and when I woke up I'd decide to record it. But being random and unfocused (often times during non-lucid dreams), I have no control over the styles and quality of the songs. I have two on my YouTube Channel (search Oneironeer on YouTube if you wish), but I've seen real detailed dream goals NEVER seem to work out for me. I come CLOSE, but my dreams will never bend to my will 100%, so I figure the one thing I can do is imagine music. If I can bring ANYTHING back with me to the waking world, I feel I've accomplished something!

Wow man, thats awesome. I'll definitely have to check out those songs and see what you have brought back so far This is the first time I have heard of anyone creating music through their dreams, very cool idea, and yeah its definitely an accomplishment considering you have already brought two back. It seems like we would be more in touch with our creative energy in dreams so you'd probably end up with some amazing stuff. I'll let you know what I think of those tunes next time I head over to youtube.
