hi, how is everyone today?

well I think I so so nearly did it this morning. Last night I had been speaking to a friend who was visiting about lucid dreaming - I showed him my book, he talked about how he has flying dreams and can go back to the same dream after waking etc. (sounds like he may have a natural knack, eh?) and that perhaps primed my mind for it (cos lately I haven't been recording my dream journal, so it can't have been that). I woke up early this morning as we had a delivery, and then went back to sleep, so this must have happenned about 9.30 or even 10 this morning. I was dreaming away, and then I kind of told myself in the dream that normally I bumble around in dreams and play a passive role. At this point I seemed to play a few "scenes" of random happenings, almost as though they were examples to back up my point...... and then I knew that I could have a lucid dream, and willed it - I was still dreaming, but now in my bed, and I leant backwards over the edge of the bed which pushed me into a LD where I was flying!!!! It was very brief, and I remember having to do it by will, and having to concentrate........ everything around me was white, and I was coming into a lucid state, when my husband's snoring woke me up Ah well. The point is I was so nearly there (yay!!). I know that I was dreaming, yet I was in control somehow of playing around with the images, like the "examples" (e.g. man in bowler hat walking down street), and just knowing that I could do it, and being confident, and feeling quite euphoric and happy. Woohoo!!!!!!!!

Roll on tonight (although I bet there's no more action for another week or so!).

Sweet dreams
