lucid

So my dream starts off with me walking onto an airplane. For no particular reason I count the fingers on my hand and realize that I'm dreaming. I just had this feeling to for some reason. As soon as I became lucid I remembered something I was thinking about before I fell asleep, which was to jump out a window in order to successfully fly the way I want to. I did not even double check the dream as I knew confidence is a major aspect of dream control.

Well when I jumped out I did manage to fly. I kind of realized that in order to fly I had to clear my mind and not overthink anything. That's what was preventing me from doing what I wanted to do before. I still had trouble keeping my mind clear and fully controlling how I was flying but I was managing. Unfortunately the dream memory is not vivid enough that I can remember exactly where I flew through and I barely recall the feeling.

I decided to land, I think it was in a field somewhere but I'm not 100% sure because part of me remembers there being other people there. I wanted to transform my body to see if I could. I looked down at myself and noticed that I could see my nose (like when you cross your eyes and look at your nose). I looked back up and imagined a different looking torso, but the dream began to get hazy. I rubbed my hands together and tried to focus on the texture but I was losing my dream. I was about to spin but it was too late, I woke up. ....which was probably just another false awakening again.

I was sitting with my brother in a building that had a subway station below it. It had large glass walls and benches everywhere. We were sitting near the entrance where there is a large space between the bench and doors, just staring out the windows and talking. I forget what triggered it, I just remember that it was something from a previous dream, but I became lucid. I was so positive that I did not need to do a reality check. I remember saying,

"I had a feeling this was a dream the entire time"


I get up and stand in the spacious spot. I jump in the air, hoping to hover or fly but I fall right on my ass. I get up. I wasn't unhappy though because last time I attempted to fly I woke up. This time I remained lucid which was pleasing to me. I looked at my brother, was staring around the place attentively, it was pretty funny how realistic he looked. I tried to fly again but then I had a false awakening. ...of course I didn't realize this until I woke up

As I was waking up from a dream, I had that moment of lucidity that comes before everything is gone. Determined to gain that back, I closed my eyes and kept thinking about dreaming. I'm not sure how I knew when to do this but at the right time I just opened my eyes and *POOF* I'm on the inside of a department store like Wal Mart or something. I began running through the store, taking in the dreamscape around me. Everything looked so vivid and clear, it was so real. The gravity of me running through it was the only thing that felt obviously fake, as I was pretty light and I would basically glide and slide with each stride (LOL rhyme). I stopped in the middle of a bunch of isles and prepared to fly, but the second I left the ground the dream got hazy and I woke up.


Falling back asleep immediately, I find myself in the exact same department store. Without a question I know this is a dream so I start to run again. I don't run for as long this time because I had literally just done it, so I try to fly again. I wake up.


I guess my subconscious is realizing that the department store is no good because I keep figuring out that I'm dreaming. My dreamscape changes to some city in the middle of the night where there are a lot of brick walls and I'm walking with my friends. I payed so little attention to my friends that I can't even remember who they were anymore I decide to do a reality check, since I had just been lucid twice and it seemed like the right thing to do, and viola I'm dreaming again. This time I decide not to fly because I want to stay lucid longer and not wake up, so I just enjoy looking at the darkened city and the odd feeling of being there. I have a false awakening, do a reality check and wake upon becoming lucid. I go back to sleep and now I'm in a similar dreamscape except this time we're all in a car and the guy sitting next to me is someone I've never seen before. He's aware of lucid dreaming and is questioning his reality. I ask him "Are we dreaming?" (notice that I say 'we') and he says "I dunno man, you tell me". I plug my nose and have no trouble breathing, but since I don't usually use this check I'm still doubting it. Then I look at the clock and notice it change to something completely random before my eyes. I say, "yeah, we're definitely dreaming" and check my hands to reassure myself. We wanted to get out of the car, so we jumped out sort of...which was kind of scary. We landed under a bridge and he said "Come one, this is a dream we can do whatever we want!". I'm still unsure for some reason so I count my fingers and get 6 every time. I jump around with him and I remember thinking, "I wonder if this is a real person and if this is a shared dream!". I tell him, "so i this is a dream then i should have no problem doing this!!" and I ran up one of the brick walls. He began screaming at me saying that it wasn't safe anyways. I started to lose control and woke up.

Just for fun I did an RC and I WAS still dreaming, then I woke up again lol.

dreaming





I dreamt that I was rollerblading through an area near my house right by this convenient store. There were some kids behind me and they were talking about someone I used to know, calling him scary and exaggerating characteristics about him. I started laughing out loud to taunt them because I know that the guy is totally harmless. Then I went into the convenient store from its back entrance in order to make my way through to the other side like a short cut. Before I left, the store clerk who was somewhere near my age started telling the kids who were trailing me that the guy they were talking about is harmless. He mentioned his ex-girlfriend and I told him that they broke up a few months ago and that he broke it off. I left the store and I started to wake up. At this point I became aware that I was dreaming and tried really hard to focus on staying in the dream, I heard a sound from the real world but simply imagined that it was a truck passing by on the road next to me. I woke up. (Looking back on it I think that this was a false awakening) Determined to make this work I forced myself back to sleep into the same dream, only this time I was slightly further away from the store. I was sitting on the sidewalk with the guy from the store and he was holding a book about lucid dreaming saying, telling me that I was dreaming. This time I actually got up and said, “Hey I’m dreaming!” but I could immediately feel that I was waking up. I got up and started rubbing my hands together, which didn’t feel fully real but I was able to feel a chalky texture in my hands. I’m not exactly sure what happened in-between, I either had a false awakening or was just transported to my room somehow, but the next thing I knew I was standing in my room to the left side of my bed, lucid but struggling not to wake up. I remember that behind me, where there is usually nothing, were some strange looking objects including a red triangle. Now this is the weirdest part. In an effort to stay asleep, I continued to rub my hands and thought, “hmm… maybe if I change something about the situation I can remain dreaming”. So I walked up to my door and said aloud, “There is a black room behind this door”. But when I opened the door there was no black room. There was the hallway to my brother’s room as there always is, but there was my brother standing there looking like a broken hologram. I’m not sure exactly how to explain this, but imagine as if there was some sort of futuristic holographic projection device displaying him, except it malfunctioned and he came out like some sort of pixely, flashing black silhouette. This kind of scared me, so I retreated back into my room. He started walking towards me like he would if he really was my brother, but it was insanely creepy because of how he looked. Then I started to loose my grip of the dream, things got really faded and I woke up.


I remember thinking, "Fuck, I should have tried spinning with my eyes closed!" But this never would have worked because this was a morning dream and something like the 5th one I had. But either way, I'm very happy because this is the first time in 5 years that I have had a lucid dream.
