    1. Lucid Dream 1: Sand

      by , 08-09-2011 at 05:53 PM
      Just as a little Prologue, most of my dreams are Lucid as ive found out, so when i found out there was a website devoted to whats normal for me sounded pretty cool :) I also wasn't entirely aware that they were meant to be rare to a degree. So consider this not necessarily my most recent LD but more one that i always think of first when asked for an example.

      The dream started off walking by where my Grandparents live which is on Portland just off Weymouth (so by the sea). Prior to going to sleep i wasn't in a particularly good mood which I find affects what i chose to happen in dreams. I was walking by myself on the beach with the shore to my right and decided to draw shapes and faces in the sand.

      At this point the dream wasn't entirely Lucid as what i was drawing wasn't under my control until i got angry with what i was drawing, as it wasn't an accurate picture of what i was drawing (being that it was in the Sand) At this point I looked at the sand and started to imagine what I wanted to draw, only to find I had drawn itself there. Its at this point where i think the dream became completely Lucid due to the fact i looked behind me and had stop the tide from moving up the shore and ruining my work, all the while i was drawing what i can only describe as a tapestry across the beach.

      The picture contained details of a story with details similar to those of which were part of the reason i was upset prior to falling asleep, but it wasn't me in the picture and neither was the person/people involved in real life. (I dont remember exactly what they looked like now as this isn't recent, but i know they looked like some other friends instead). I continued to draw until I came across a house more inland which i traveled to instantly, to find it was also made of sand. And as an experiment,(which i already knew the outcome of but did so for fun i think..) i picked the house up out of the ground to create another floor underneath to create a three story house as apposed to a two story. (The closest thing i can relate this to in terms of an example would be of Inception in purgatory but also in the film Watchmen where Dr Manhattan creates a huge structure on Mars out of crystal).

      It was at this point that i had realised that the whole scenery was made of sand and that everything was of that colour, the only thing that looked the same was the sky, though it was now coloured sandy like Hessian. I saw people in the garden to the side of the house (also made of sand) that i could manipulate and give extra arms and take away features as if with clay. The last thing i remember doing before going to sleep properly was trying to turn one of the people back to real, but could only turn part of them because it felt like i was trying to turn the whole world back at once with every detail as apposed to this once person and then the rest just left me and the dream stopped

      This is probably the LD that i remember most from, and hopefully i remember to write them down i'll try and post more on here :)
      Happy Dreaming!
