    Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

    Lucid #227: The Dream Queue

    I知 holding my oldest child E痴 hand as we make our way down a crowded hallway. Something feels off to me and I realize that I知 dreaming. E pulls away from me and runs off down the hall, disappearing into the crowd.

    I try to follow him but the dream feels very unstable to me, almost as if I知 drunk and can barely walk properly. I realize that the people ahead of me in this hallway are all waiting to have a lucid dream, but I知 having mine right now. I don稚 belong in this line with them. I stagger to my right, crashing into a wall and fall into the void.

    I rub my hands together, making my way through the dark. I can feel people passing close by me on all sides, so I still feel like I知 in the scene. After enough hand rubbing and lurching around, I finally get my vision back and find myself standing near a corner wall near a bin full of envelopes.

    I reach out to touch the envelopes but ungracefully bat them onto the floor. They scatter everywhere. I flail out my arms to grab something else but     the dream ends.

      Hehe, what a great dream scene. I hate that drunk feeling!! It's so frustrating when it happens, like the dream just isn't stable enough to handle it. It's funny because I love it in real life lol. Isn't it weird how one of the funnest parts about being awake is losing control but one of the funnest parts about being asleep is gaining it?

      Congrats on the two LDs! You must have seen me in that line...because I was waiting to have a lucid dream last night! But seriously, interesting concept. I had something similar a while back with the view of this nebula that in my mind must have represented dreaming minds.

      Congrats on the lds! I think you so much dreaded getting into another dream queue that you decided to crash the dream on purpose!

      It must be hard sometimes to let go of your attachment to your kids in dreams!

      I wonder what was in the envelopes...

      @Alysendra - Ha! Well said! I definitely had it backward in this one and I'm still not quite sure what I ought to have done to get a better grip on things. Probably when I came out of the void I should have slowed down a lot more and calmly attached myself to the scenery rather than all that flailing.

      @fogelbise - Heh heh, yeah man it's usually me queued up at the back, my alarm always going off before it's my turn to step to the front. The nebula idea sounds cool! Was that an LD or was it non-lucid?

      @NyxCC - When I was writing this one up I thought you might pick up on my incredibly constant queuing dream sign! It's entirely possible that you pointing it out to me previously helped me in this dream to recognize that I was dreaming a lot more easily!

      @Dreamer - Yeah, it really is! I've gotten a little better about it, but once they start talking to me and engaging me, I feel a strong urge to scoop them up and take them along. Which can be fun in certain circumstances but isn't a great idea for me to do when things are dangerous.

      Yeah, the envelopes, I wonder... I'd have liked to find out but some oaf knocked them all over the floor!

      It seemed as if it was non-lucid. I found my post regarding it in dream interpretation and it was QUITE a while ago...May 2013: http://www.dreamviews.com/dream-inte...community.html

      I had a really interesting dream that was in outer space with a nebula looking formation that was shaped like an asymetrical elongated mushroom. It had thousands of points of light like stars within the formation but instead of stars each one was a like a tv screen playing back thousands of different dreams. I could see this as possibly representing my past dreams or maybe different people sleeping at that time. I don't remember if the images in any of the "screens" were familiar.
      Finding the actual post reminded me of the tv screens in place of stars...I had forgotten that detail.

      Awesome! I'm happy to be of help! Seriously though, I find it really helpful to discuss things like this in the journals and also thinking about it during the day. I caught a micro ld the other day after our conversation about those special moments I was referring to.
