Finally
After three long months of basically having nothing, I finally had another lucid dream last night. I was having trouble sleeping. Before I fell asleep, I had thoughts about “going back to a happy time”.
For some reason I thought of the summer of 2009. I was in the top bunk of my bed (around 2011 I got the room for myself and I now sleep in the bottom bunk) and was wearing my old purple nightgown. I had my IPod plugged in and was listening to songs I own now, but didn’t have back then, including Oh No by Marina and the Diamonds. I was also afraid that a screamer audio would come on my music and some monster would grab me in the night.
At one point I had trouble opening my eyes, and I didn’t think much of it since I had this problem once when I was very tired (I think that might have been the night of my annoying fragments). Well, I managed to open my eyes and my room was extremely blurry and bright. I felt a vibration in my side and knew from a previous nightmare that went lucid that this meant I was dreaming. I also did a nose check, but I didn’t feel my hands on my nose. I didn’t really feel like I had a body. I didn’t have 100% control and didn’t really think things out, but instead decided that I could fly in my room. I started floating to one corner of my room from the bunk and woke up suddenly.
Once I opened my eyes again I was in my real room, and did another check to be sure. I checked the time and saw that it was 2:33 AM. I’m going to set an alarm tonight for 2AM and try the WBTB method.
Another indicator for dreaming I have decided to use is music. I had a non-lucid dream once where I was on a boat with a young man and we were releasing captive fish into the sea. He began singing Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance and I broke down in tears. I’ve decided that hearing that song could mean that I am dreaming. Hopefully it works.
