I am going to journal the three most powerful nocturnal events that have shaped me over the last year and a half.
This is the dream that started me on this path. It occurred on the night of February 3, 2019.
I am canoeing down a narrow river in my red Old Town canoe. I am alone. In front of me the river narrows between two outcroppings. Suddenly a huge hippopotamus rises from the river between the two rock outcroppings. It is dark gray and dripping with water. It speaks to me in the soft voice of a woman telling me that I can no longer go this way.
I fly from the river trailing the canoe behind me and end up standing on the raised bank that had been to my left. I glance back at the river and realize that I am fully awake in the dream. I turn and look off into the distance as I wake up.
That next morning I researched "waking up in a dream" and discovered lucid dreaming.
