lucid

So I got home from school at like 2 and went straight upstairs to take a nap. It was off and on sleeping, I think I had one dream, but I woke up at like 4 and was reflecting on that dream when I realized I was slipping back to sleep except I couldn't move myself into not falling asleep. So I was wiggling my toes trying to wake up when my eyes finally closed and I was in this state of mind awake body asleep. I could see the outline of some girl's blue face as I could hear these ringing noises from probably one of The Weeknd's songs. Before I even realized it, my legs were moving and I was running down a hallway with a bunch of doors. Everything started to become very vivid as I kept thinking about this being a dream, but I couldn't stop thinking of how I couldn't move my arms and then my legs stopped as well, then I woke up.

The problem I have with WILDs is that I can't help but think that I'm really in my bed as the dream is forming at first, so I can't move at all.

Of all the times I've had a lucid dream, this one was actually induced by a nightmare. I'll start from the regular dream first.

I was at my grandmother's house with my sister (Eva) and we were playing some video game system in the backyard on a projection screen. For some reason, there was a piano in view 10 yards in front of where we were playing. While we were playing some game, an unknown being had struck three chords on the piano. My first thought that it was a ghost because Eva and I have had a paranormal experience where a piano has played on its own. I tell her "turn off the game don't acknowledge it at all let's just go to the porch." So it was like we hadn't heard the noise but we put our heads down as we walk to the porch where there are other people talking about what had just happened.

At this point I am spooked and am only thinking about ghosts. I walk inside to find I'm in my living room by myself. My family owns this big clanky television that has a glare when it is off, so I walk up to the screen and all of the sudden I see a black shadow of a person behind me in the reflection. I scream and turn around to find I'm now lucid because I think that there's no way this could happen. I scream and run around the black shadow as I look at my hands and realize how vivid they are. Outside is now my actual backyard and I run around to the side of my house where my drive way is and I run up it. My only intention was to get away from the shadow, so now I have nothing to do as my dream starts to fade. It turns to black but I can tell I'm still in some dream state.After that I woke up panting in the dark. One of my problems is that there are plenty of times when I'm in this state of darkness but still dreaming, and I just need to find a way to visualize the next place to go with the next dream.

Last night was my second lucid dream experience. Like the last one, it was very short.

My friend Moo (michael is his real name) is my best friend and is starting to lucid dream with me so that we can figure out his problem, but that's for another post. Him and I had been wandering around what is supposed to be Kings Dominion when we find the ride for the Intimidator 500. In my dream the ride has 3 different lines with well over 1,000 people visible from each.

At one point we're walking through the line to find a shortcut to another ride when I see a blocked off hallway. We walk over and I climb down into what now looks like a spiral slide that is clear. I see that this is obviously not a hallway to the next ride so I climb back up the slide.

There's a three foot gap between the floor I came from and where I am so Moo gives me his hand and pulls me up. As I emerge into the room I had previously come from with the line, I realize this is a dream and it's all so clear. The room is now empty with Moo to the left of me. I look down at my hands and they're very clear and some other language or symbols where my "A" should be on my right hand. I start laughing because this is all too humorous to me. I turn right and start to walk down some hallway to another room that is lit pink. Before I make it into the room this girl named Lexi from my school walks up to me. I remember that you can interact with other people in your own dreamscape so I prepare to say hello. Before I could say anything she gets right in my face and opens her mouth very wide (not like to kiss, more to eat my face off). I thought she was screaming at me so I closed my eyes shut and it actually woke me up.
I believe this is only the beginning.

In the past, I've abused lucid dreaming and my dream figures to the point where I need to redeem myself. This is my first lucid dream since I was that person a year ago.

My mom's boyfriend (Robert) and I are walking on the side of some mountain range that I've seen before. There is also two guys walking hand in hand in front of us. Think of the mountain range as a stone wall going straight up and down next to us and we're on more of a catwalk in the air. In the distance is the rest of the mountains, all sectioned off into different colors. In my mind our goal is to get over the mountain range, but they're so tall I can't even see the top of them. Also, each different color is a different country in my head (I didn't know which was which). The beginning of the dream I'm completely oblivious but about a minute of walking down this catwalk I start becoming very aware and sort of spooked that this is all a dream.

I look down to my hands because that's what I've learned to do in the past and they look very vivid except for the "A" on my hand which is a made up symbol at this point. I shout "clarity now" and I'm overwhelmed by this feeling of like a wall of water hitting me that is really just everything becoming vivid. Robert and the two men are laying on the stone in front of me at this point and I become so scared I wake up panting in the dark.

This is a weird start seeing as when I first started lucid dreaming the first 3 were ended because I realized I was dreaming and started shouting of excitement.
