    My dream room, escaping through the window

    I wake up and stay still. At first I don't feel any vibrations. I begin to take slightly deeper breaths and then focus on relaxing my body and in a moments I began to feel the vibes. I see hypnagogic imagery of rain made of light just falling. Once I noticed the vibes have calmed down I roll out of my bed very quickly. This threw me off since usually when I roll out I feel a resistance to it but this time I rolled out very easily. I thought I had failed. Since my mother was sleeping onto the couch on the other side of the room I didn't want it to seem like it was an accident and that I did it on purpose. So I go up to her and say good morning. I then decide to do a RC just to make sure, but I had my doubts. It is early morning in this world so I am happy it isn't pitch black.

    I do the nose plug RC and it confirms I am dreaming. Surprised but very happy I ignore my mom (sorry mom..) I then look at my hands and they are normal. (As this dream goes by I remind myself I am dreaming every once in awhile) I go into the bathroom and see that my reflection is normal, I try to go into the mirror but fail. Sometimes I feel myself being 'pulled' back to waking life but looking at my hands 'returns' me back.

    Instead of trying to fly like a normal person would I decide to open up the window and try to climb out of the building (I should've flied!!!!) there is a screen protector so I reach into my pocket expecting a knife but instead I get a whole bunch of keys. I use the keys to punch a hole into the protector and then I opened up the whole so I can fit through. I then start to climb out the window. Now I got an idea. I try to summon up a good friend of mine so I look away and say "When I look back my friend (first, last) will be there" but that fails too. (I need better dream control, I know) then I go out into the window and I am hanging onto the edge. The dream then fades to black but I can still feel myself hanging onto the edge. I then try to stabilize the dream by using this sense of touch to ground myself.

    It fails and I begin to feel myself lying in bed. "Darn I woke up" I thought. I then lose my lucidity when I got up from the couch. (Darn you false awakening!) I notice that my bedsheets are on the floor and I wonder why they are on the floor. I then check to see if there was a hole in the windows screen protector but there wasn't one. Also it is night outside now. I wonder to myself "Why are these sheets on the floor, wasn't I in sleep paralysis when I was dreaming?" (I should've gotten lucid again) I then put the bed sheets back on the couch and I wake up for real this time.

      I am surprised that your friend did not show up. Maybe next time think of it like this: You had talked to your friend previously and your friend has already agreed to show up. You have to have a strong expectation or it won't work. I learned from Reading Robert Waggoner's book that expectation is everything. It does work, you just have to believe. It's like having faith. Believe it and it will happen. As for the knife... well the keys worked, Right? Not a total failure.

      I am also reading Robert Waggoners book as well. It is very interesting. Some day I am going to try and speak to the "awareness behind the dream" as he puts it. What do you think of the book so far?

      I haven't got very far, just the first 4 chapters. I love the book so far. I really want to find a deeper way to explore my subconscious and talk to my higher self. He has a lot of great info and new ways of thinking. I love it. Have you tried his way of flying?

      Great work on the LD!!

      Here's what I like to do to make dream control and expectations work better: add detail. I know that you don't believe you are a great visualizer, but this is a skill that you can practice. Taking a few minutes every now and then to daydream a scene will help you practice this.

      Next time you're imagining your friend appearing, try imagining every detail you can think of about the person. Don't just think of their name, but think of them, all the pieces that make up your internal picture of who and what they are. Imagine exactly what they look like, how they will be looking at you, what they might say, what they might be thinking, wearing, and doing.

      The more of these details that you summon, the more of your will that gets focused on the task. Doubt will be crowded from your mind as there simply won't be any spare brainpower for it. What you focus on grows and what you ignore fades. The hard part is remembering to do this in-dream, but I think you'll find that it works well. Give it a try.

      Alright thanks. Hopefully I remember to do this next time I attempt summoning.

      No not yet but I plan on doing it eventually.
