    Lucid #4: Fragments + SP

    by , 07-23-2014 at 09:57 AM (869 Views)
    A couple more stabilization fails, but my first SP!




    I'm on my way to meet my friend A when I pause across the street from a tall house with beautiful chamber music coming from an open window. Suddenly the scene darkens and shadows begin to roll down the vines of ivy along the wall. I start getting scared until I realize it's only dark because I'm wearing my sunglasses.

    I take them off but then it gets dark again, and I discover I'm squeezing my eyes shut and can't open them. I recognize that as a dreamsign, and start to do the finger push RC. But even before I start, I feel this floaty sensation and
    I realize I'm dreaming.

    I think this may send me into the void or SP, but the next thing I remember is being in a brightly lit room with my girlfriend. We're talking about something, when again I feel that happy, floaty sensation and realize I'm dreaming.

    I decide to phase through the window and go exploring. I tell my girlfriend, "I love you, but I'm having a lucid dream and I really want to go out there." She seems happy for me.

    Then things start to get a little blurry and I remember I have to stabilize. I decide to try NyxCC's advice and take a bite of a chair. But part of me doesn't believe it's going to work, and I close my eyes as I bend down. When my jaws close, there's nothing between them.

    Then I'm briefly in the void, and I try to spin. I end up lying in my bed, hearing incredibly loud electric crackling noises. I recall having heard these before, perhaps earlier in the night, and conclude I'm experiencing SP. I attempt an OBE exit by trying to will my dream body to move. The crackling intensifies greatly and I feel like I almost escape my body, but it doesn't quite work and the crackling fades.

    I decide to relax for a little bit before I wake myself up. The crackling begins to transform into creepy music and I start thinking of SP horror stories and becoming a little frightened. But I remember that SP is completely harmless and will only get nasty if I let myself get scared, so I calm down.

    Then, my IWL girlfriend moves in bed and
    I wake up for real.

      Congratulations on the LD, womp! Good job getting through the void, nicely done!

      You know, I have experienced this in-dream sensation that feels like sleep paralysis, but for me at least it wasn't the real thing. In my case, it was basically just a dream situation where I didn't feel like I could move. Basically, I was only stuck in the dream because I had thought about REM atonia.

      You had the right idea with an OBE-style exit. I like the roll or in some cases to just sort of ooze out of the bed onto the floor, imagining my feet moving to the floor by any means necessary (kind of Xanous style). But yeah, a hard roll (through force of will rather than muscles) is my usual jam.

      Great work lately, man, keep it up!
