So I haven't been sleeping well lately. I also have not been having LD's for a while. I had two very brief ones over the course of the last week. I wrote about one already. The next day I also had a very brief one. I went to bed about 3-4 am and couldn't sleep. I stared into the blackness and tried to get some visuals going. After a few hours of nothing I began to see bright colors, vivid techni-colors like walls. I imagined it like a tunnel and tried to create an opening like a circle at the other end. I could see through the tunnel and on the other end was my dream space. I had been thinking earlier in the night about dreaming I was in Florida by the pool. There it was right through the color tunnel. I managed to reach it and could feel myself split between my physical body and dream body. I was by the pool and in bed. It switched over to me just being by the pool. I was very excited. The dream wasn't fully formed. Everything was blank or unfinished. I remember jumping into the pool of water then going over to the side of the pool and picturing a girl there. She was there but she had no features. No face, just a blank body. I remember reaching over to her to bring her closer to me and the dream started to fade and then my consciousness slipped fully back into my body. As I lied in bed sleepless I began to slip off into small patches of sleep and wake back up again. At first I didn't notice but I began to recall having dreams. They weren't long. I must have been falling asleep for short periods of time like 5-15 mins tops then waking back up again. I tried to focus on the blackness and tried to "spin" my vision. Like a mini-galaxy I spun what little white there was around and around. It is a little hazy what happened next but I think I opened another "portal" and entered a LD state. I recall getting out of bed and walking up the stairs on the inside of my house. I know it was my house because as I walked up to the third floor I looked at the wall and saw there was no window. In my house there are two windows there and I saw they were absent. I remembered realizing it was SUPPOSED to be there. I was forming the dream around me and just had not added the windows. I walked into the third floor apt looking for people but no one was there and once again the place was not "fully formed yet". The place was being "built" around me. I don't recall much else except the fact that the LD wasn't very long and it faded away like the other. I sent my daughter off to school then laid back down to try to get some sleep but it still wouldnt come. Eventually I started to drift off into very small periods of sleep again (only a few minutes each) however they were semi-lucid dreams. I was lucid to a certain degree and only had control over my own actions, not the environment. I must have had about 10 of these mini segmented LDs before I finally just got out of bed.
It has been a long time since I have had a LD. This morning I had several. I wish I had taken the time to write them down because I can't recall them very well anymore. I was dreaming about something absurd and unrealistic. I woke up briefly at around 7:30 am and was very frustrated. I remember thinking how bizarre the dream was and how sad it was that I couldn't realize it was a dream while I was dreaming it. I was dreaming that I was part of a football team. We were a professional team but we were stuck playing at a really small local school field. It was upsetting me that we were there. The dream shifted into something else and I think I was doing road maintenance??? That is when I woke up frustrated. I then went back to sleep. I re-entered the dream and then I remember questioning the situation and I believe I did a reality check. I realized I was dreaming. I was dreaming that I was part of a football team. We were a professional team but we were stuck playing at a really small local school field. It was upsetting me that we were there. The dream shifted into something else and I think I was doing road maintenance??? That is when I woke up frustrated. I was very lightly sleeping at this point. I remember trying to fly however I couldn't fly very high, I was more hovering over the ground. I did not have any control over the environment and could not create the world around me. However I was aware I was dreaming and everything was very realistic. I remember a few different occasions I got overly excited about the fact I was have a LD but for the first time ever I remembered to SPIN!!!! I started to wake up and felt myself in both my bed and in the dream state. But I kept thinking "SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN" and my dream body spun faster and faster and faster.... and eventually I was back dreaming again!!! Very excited about this as it was not only a first time having this happen but it happened several times during my LD this am. One time was odd. I remember starting to wake up and things became like static on an old tv. I was between worlds and kept thinking SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN and when I was back in the dream state... It was all static. It weirded me out so I woke my body up to make sure I could still wake up... Did so and then fell back asleep. This was all very low level LD states. It was a very light sleep and the LD and dream states slipped away several times. However the landmark of me remembering to "SPIN" is great. If I can recall what I was dreaming about I will add to this later. I just recall trying to "Fly" on a few occasions but barely getting any lift and floating around more than anything else.
