non-lucid

Wake Back To Bed (WBTB) after 4 ½ hours of sleep. Read about lucid dreaming for a ½ hour. Said my mantras and then looked at pictures of what I wanted to dream about. Setup the pillows just right, got comfortable, and then i stayed perfectly still, while I relaxed my mind. My body went to sleep, but my mind was awake. After about 20 minutes of nothingness, except a faint glow, and the odd flashing blue and purple lights, I focussed on having a handful of pennies in my right hand. Slowly a stack of pennies appeared and I held it in my right hand. All else was black. Then I dropped the pennies, but they didn’t fall, so I grabbed them again. I kept repeating this until the pennies fell and scattered, then I reached down with both my hands and scoped them up, repeating the relaxation exercise until I slipped closer to the twilight zone. There was no sound.

I wasn’t dreaming yet, but I was having hypnagogic imagery. The pennies disappeared and I was no longer in control over what I was seeing. A dog kennel appeared in the blackness, and it started to rotate very slowly. I relaxed and kept my mind free of thoughts, and I simply observed. The kennel faded away and dark storm clouds appear, followed by a tornado, and I started to travel around the tornado bodiless (remote viewing). It was an eerie green color, and then it quickly cross faded into an amazing panoramic of space. Flickering little stars were everywhere, then I heard a woman say, “Aren’t you scared?” and replied, “No way! This is amazing. I love it!” I then started to travel through space, and it looked like the Enterprise going warp 9.5, then space ended, and I was once again in the darkness. Suddenly huge translucent cubes started to appear, and I traveled in a straight line right through them, and they were all connected. I heard a voice say, “You shouldn’t be here because this isn’t your reality.” I said, “Let’s keep going, this is cool!” Translucent cylinders started to appear mixed in with the cubic structure, but then I slipped into a dream, and lost conscious awareness.

I was standing in my childhood bedroom looking out the window (not lucid). The clarity was perfect, and everything was as the waking world. The big tree in the backyard had blown down, and the sky was cloudy and gray. A beautiful woman, in her 20’s, walked up behind me, and I turned to face her. I thought, “Who’s this beauty?” She had medium length, reddish, blonde hair, she was absolutely gorgeous, and her smile was stunning. We carried on some casual conversation, while I was thinking real hard about who she was, why she was in my bedroom, and why I felt like I knew her. I asked her name, but she wouldn’t tell me.

She turned around, stacked the pillows up on my bed, and then graciously sat against them. I sat at the base of the bed and said, “You know, I think I’ve seen you before, you were in the backyard, but your hair was longer.” She said, “No, that wasn’t me!” I said, “Really?” And she replies, “Yes that wasn’t me.” I looked at her very closely and said, “Yes, I know you from somewhere.” She smiled and happily replied, “This is marvellous! We’re having a really good conversation and visit. You’re lucid right now, right?” I thought, “What is she talking about? Lucid, I’m not lucid, this isn’t a dream, and how does she know I’m a lucid dreamer? Wait a second, maybe this is a dream?” I questioningly asked her, “What, am I lucid dreaming?” After saying that, I became lucid and then instantly woke up from the pure shock of it.

In this dream I wasn’t lucid, but I thought it was an awesome synchronicity/confirmation that there is validity behind dreams. Here’s what happened:

In this non lucid dream I was at work, and a co-worker came up to me and gave me a phone number to call. I asked her to repeat it please because I didn’t catch it. Then the numbers appeared in front of me, and it looked like how they display lottery numbers. Well lit numbers were floating in the air right in front of me. It read 888-####. I immediately woke and wrote the numbers down in my dream journal. I figured, “Yes, I’ve been given some winning lottery numbers!” I interpreted this dream incorrectly.

A couple of days later we received a phone call on my wife’s cell. She said, “Somebody is calling me with the number 888-####. Should I answer it?” I immediately said, “Yes, answer it!”, because I remembered the #’s from my dream. It was Vice Principal of my daughter’s high school calling us on her cell. BTW – I had no prior knowledge of the VP’s cell #. She asked if we’d like to come and meet with an Interior Designer to review a design proposal for a ‘legacy wall’ for my daughter who had passed two years ago. We went to the school and reviewed the design, and it was way beyond our dreams, it was truly a great tribute to her life. Before we left the VP came up to me and said, “I wanted to call you, rather than you having to call us regarding the generous donations to the memory of your daughter.” It was a very emotional visit.

In this dream I was driving a semi-truck down a wet gravel road. The cab’s side, marker lights were getting covered with dirt, so I pulled over to wipe them off. As I was standing on the passenger side step, above the fuel tank, I noticed my reflection in the passenger door window. I was shocked at how young I looked, and how red my lips were. It seemed like I was wearing lip stick, and that in itself I found very odd indeed. This should have tipped me off that I was dreaming, but it didn’t, so I continued on with cleaning my marker lights.

Suddenly I felt a kiss on my left cheek, and saw my daughter in the reflection off the window. I looked behind me quickly to see her, but she wasn’t there. I looked back at the reflection in the window, and she was there. Then she kissed me again on my left cheek! I said her name, and then looked back, but she still wasn’t there. I was so surprised by this that I immediately woke

There was two of me in the same dream. Yes, two of me! One of ‘me’ was lucid, and the other ‘me’ was just dreaming. The lucid ‘me’, seems to be a memory of the dream, which instantly appeared in my mind when I woke immediately after the dream; whereas the part of me that was dreaming, was basically a fragmented, foggy dream. I can tell the lucid ‘me’ was a memory, because I did not have any recollection of the adrenaline rush, uplifting feeling, you get when you realize you’re lucid. It’s like this experience was just dropped into my head. My body felt like it was lightly floating, and moving in my bed, when this memory came to be.

Let me know if you have experienced something like this too (above)!

I’ll describe the dream from the ‘lucid me’ perspective. I was sitting in my parent’s living room perfectly lucid (not sure why I was lucid?). I saw ‘me’ walk in the backdoor and head down the hallway. I met myself once before in lucid dream, and I really wanted to have a conversation with myself, so I jump up and ran after ‘me’. My mom stopped ‘lucid me’ and said, “Do you really want to do this? Some people don’t handle this well.” I replied, “I can handle it, where did I go?” As I searched through the house for ‘me’, I came across my sisters, wife, and my oldest nephew. He smiled and said, “Hi!” The other me wasn’t anywhere to found downstairs, so I headed upstairs. The first bedroom I checked was my dad’s. My dear dad was lying in his bed, and there was this young, beautiful girl, sitting on the edge of his bed near the window. I did not recognize her. She had long, brown hair, blue eyes, thin featured, and was very pretty. I walked up to her, and we stood face to face smiling. I happily said to her in a playful voice, “Oh, who is this cute little girl?” She then replied, “I can’t tell you how many times you’ve said that to me as I was growing up!” She was smiling and giggling. She sounded exactly the same as my daughter! I got so excited, I woke up! ( I wanted to hug her)
