    Lucid Fail

    by , 11-30-2014 at 08:24 AM (410 Views)
    I left work early because I was sick, so of course I came home, opened my window (it's a nice day...) and took a nap. I shift restlessly, occasionally jerking awake, worried that at any second the wind is going to finally knock the curtain from my window.
    During this nap I had one of those weird lucids. I saw my room but it was different in a few ways, the electrical box on the wall was missing, and in its place was a hole. I focused on it and tried to will it to change "I think I see light on the inside." I said to myself, focusing harder. "I do, there's light." But there wasn't. I gave up, considering my intention had been to turn the hole into a tunnel, by which I would leave the room. Instead, I turned my focus to the window. *eye roll* You know, because I can't use a door. That's just crazy. I flop over, but my body still feels heavy with sleep. I claw my way up to the sill and manage to look outside.
    "Come on, you're going to have to do better than this or the dream will fall apart." I thought, trying to will the heaviness from my limbs. Nope. Still not working.
    Then, of course, the wind knocked the tension rod out of my window and across my legs, shattering my delicate lucidity, the room suddenly awash with sunlight. Damn it.

      No sweat, a lucid's a lucid. I actually thought you were doing everything really well here with the way that you were insisting that there was light coming out of the electrical box tunnel!

      And ha ha, windows are more fun than doors, don't blame you! There's something about the whole "phase through then fly" thing that's so much more fun than doing the same old boring stuff as in waking life.

      I saw a lot of good technique in here! My only major piece of advice would be not to get discouraged! Sometimes the first one back after a while is mostly for getting you back into the swing of things.
