Attaining Lucidity through false awakenings.

**Merro** · 08-31-2011 05:31 PM

This seems like a interesting topic, So I hope everyone will be pleased with this. This morning I have had about 8 FA's "False Awakenings" And each time I woke up, I kept on thinking, "Am I really Awake?" So through the entire time, I keep waking up and I keep being in these false awakenings and I'm wondering. Why wont I wake up? On my 8th False Awakening. I decided to play along with the dream. I have gave up saying I'm so sick of tired of not being able to wake up so I decided to play along with the dream.

I had no problems with my FAs, No dream characters tried to scare me, None of my pets in my dreams decided to attack me. Nothing wanted to harm me in any way in the dream. Now. The thing is. When I was dreaming. My 8th FA "False Awakening" I realized I was dreaming when I noticed my cats walking through the glass door/plastic door, What ever you like to call it that leads out side phasing through it. I have 2 front doors. One for inside and one for out side. You know what I mean, I'm bad at describing stuff.

Now here comes the interesting part. I was attending Lucidity. In the dream I noticed I was dreaming. I was keeping my self calm and relaxed. I was looking around checking the environment just being curious onto whats going on in the dream scene. No I am not making this up this actually happened. I saw my neighbors house in clear vision. I looked at the moon in the night sky and it looked really beautiful. Everything was really calm out side I wanted to have some fun.

Now what happened is, I saw my drive way, And In my drive way I saw my dads company truck sitting there. I noticed my neighbors dog and my chocolate lab sitting down in the back of the pick up truck just chilling there looking all relaxed, etc. Also the distance of the truck looked all weird. It looked like it was really far away and I saw the road close to the house. I wanted to summon the train to Hogwarts from Harry Potter on the road. What amazed me is it did work, I heard a train whistle sound from the one from Harry Potter. Except the train turned out to be a rocket from World of Warcraft the one yo get when you recruit a friend.

Now the thing is, The rocket showed up and slowed down waiting for me to get aboard the rocket, I didn't go on it so it suddenly starts to speed away. While I was standing on the deck wondering what I should do next, I decide to change the dream scape, What i did is I closed my eyes and think of the place where I wanted to go next. I was thinking, Take me to Hogwarts's main hall. Then I fell backwards and everything felt weird, I suddenly felt weird and I ended up in a couch and I could hardly see anything.

It was all blurry for my eyes, I saw some boxes and a desk, I was chilled out and I was feeling the ground. The ground felt like tile from which the schools use. Now I don't know where I ended up but I couldn't open my eyes. So I decided it's time for me to wake up and I pulled my self out of the dream by getting up, I woke up with my heart pounding like something scared the shit out of me. But nothing never scared me in that dream scene.

Any ways, Has anyone had any similar experience like I have? Taking advantage of FAs and turning them into Lucid Dreams? If you have any experiences please share them here, Thanks. ^_^

Thanks Matte! ^_^ I think I'm getting used and more comfortable to this stuff. So far I'm getting really good with my dream characters. I guess its because of my new bed I have. Oh well. At least I'm doing great now. I just need to start doing more reality checks and start writing in my DJ more often.

I have definitely had LD's from FAs. I just make it a habit of Nose RCing when I wake up.

I've only ever had one FA in my life, so I haven't had the chance to try out that technique. 8 is a sh*t ton of FAs though! I've never even heard of someone having that many.
