    Dreams for 20th and 21st

    by , 10-22-2013 at 04:13 AM (575 Views)
    I had 3 lucid dreams on the 20th. I actually had ONLY lucid dreams on the 20th:

    1. I don't recall what I was doing prior to the first dream, but I "came to" in a room near a mirror (mirrors tend to make me lucid - something about looking at myself). I looked in the mirror after attaining lucidity and thought "I don't look like that!"
    I closed my eyes and forced my face to conform to non-dream reality, and looked again. This time I actually looked like myself. I inspected my face, and decided I was satisfied.
    I tried the "mirror trick" where I close my eyes and pretend a DC is behind me, then check my reflection. I was trying to summon Warlock, because he's a lot of fun to hang out with (lucid or non), but he wouldn't show up. I decided it was because he was busy, rather than it being due to a lack of dream control.
    I decided it would be fun to make myself into a cartoon, but the dream was fading. I tried lifting my hand to my face, so I could inspect it and try to make it cartoony, but I felt my non-dream hand move.
    Interestingly, I "felt" myself bring it up to my face, BUT I know I couldn't have moved it that much with that much coordination. The "black fog" was setting in, and I think it was actually an illusion of moving my non-dream hand created by my mind because it was expecting the dream to end.

    I woke up, rolled over, went back to sleep.

    2. I dreamed I was in a Cadillac being driven by Buddy from Six String Samurai, and I think the kid was in the back seat. We were trying to find something, but the road was blocked off, so instead we went down a road that said Do Not Enter. I voiced my objections, but we kept going. We were on an overpass very high off the ground. It curved sharply, and was a very smooth and even light grey color, with no highway markings. We were going ~120 mph. I expected us to go over the side of the overpass... so naturally, we did. As we were falling, I realized I was dreaming. I tried to stop the car in mid-air, but when I attempted to exert control, everything went black. I woke up irritated.

    I decided to try WILD:

    3. I made it through the "wind tunnel", which tends to be uncomfortable.
    I was hanging in the void, 3D darkness, aware that I was asleep, but there was no "Stage" to enter.
    There were little ribbons of color sort of sparkling but not really sparkling in the void because there was no light. Think of it as being different colors of black, like an Aurora Borealis that is all black. It's black, but it's a color - red, or green, or blue, but with no light. Colored darkness. It drifts.

    I saw curls of gray-white "smoke", more physical than the rest. I tried to form it into a dream, played with it, tried to make it into something, but all I could do was manipulate it a bit and blow it around.
    Eventually, after playing with the "smoke" for a while, I got bored
    and slipped back into non-lucidity.

    On the 21st:
    I dreamed some people (a husband and wife) wanted to buy a timeshare. They were both kind of chunky, with black hair. They spent $1200 just to tour the place, and it was not what they were promised. They were out $1200 and very disappointed. It was basically kind of a crappily built poured-cement condo dressed up a little bit. The mall and pool area required you to cover your head with a towel when you wanted to be there. There were people there (a few) but they were oddly emaciated, looked sketchy, and weren't doing much.

      Congratulations on the very successful night! I especially like all the mirror work. Mirrors are pretty amazing dream tools. I've had a ball checking my dream-self out in a mirror and I know that many people use them for teleportation but I hadn't thought of using them for summoning. Cool idea!

      I noticed that (similar to me) your lucids tend to often end with everything going back before you wake up. Something that I discovered is that if I just treat this as a new dream location (which I refer to as "the void"), and start rubbing my dream hands together, more often than not I can save the dream and make my way into a new scene. It took me a very long time to discover this about my dreams, but it has made a huge difference, allowing me to save and extend a lot of dreams that would've otherwise gotten away from me.

      Anyway, very impressive! I wouldn't mind a night where all my dreams were lucid!
