Lucid Dreams
Before bed. I smoked a lot. ( I had taken a smoke break for at least a month, surprisingly didn't do much for my dream recall. ) I had some milk. I woke up at 6 a.m. as usual. I went to the bathroom, played on my phone and talked to some early bird/night owl friends for a half hour or so. Fell back asleep. I think this is what did the trick. I had a lucid dream the other night, it was one of the most LDs I've had since my first one, almost two years ago. I ended up having another LD last night. The recall is a bit hazy compared to my usual dream recall for LDs. I know it started as a non-lucid dream. I was in a bedroom, that was my bedroom. I felt like a child again. All the things in the room were coming to life, personifying. ( It all reminds me of Beauty and the Beast, looking back. ) Nothing too scary, I was having friendly conversations. I remember looking down at my end table, and it started growing and transforming into a T-Rex. I got a feeling of anxiety, I knew it was going to become a nightmare. I became lucid at that moment, as I often do. I sort of changed the direction of the dream to be a bit more lighthearted. I remember looking at a toy or something that had personified in a friendly way. I asked it why I was afraid of the dinosaur. The toy grabbed a book and opened it up, there were a bunch of scribbles and writings that almost looked like journal entries of my own hand writing. I remember reading some of it, but can't remember what it said. Some of it I couldn't even decipher. I looked to another personified object, and I asked it what my biggest fear was. Hand written words started appearing on the wall in the same sort of journal entry look. Again, I couldn't really decipher them and even the ones I could, I can't remember. When I asked these questions in my dream, I felt a sense of anxiety. As if my inner self wasn't ready to ask/hear the answers to questions like that? I've been going through some hard times, both with myself and relationships. My boyfriend of a few years just moved out yesterday, then I had this dream. I was excited that I even remembered to ask myself these sort of deep questions while lucid. I usual always forget.
