Ok, I seem to be getting my recall back. And Today I almost became Lucid during my nap. I found myself walking down the hall of an apartment building. And asking myself if I was dreaming, and looking around for dreamsigns. I had been very focused on doing that all day. I didn't actually become Lucid, but that's ok. This normally happens to me a couple of times, before I start getting lucid. So I know Lucidity is not far away, as long as I stay focused. But I am still fighting this annoying cough, that's making things hard.
Normally, When I become Lucid. I am so fascinated by the dream that I find myself in, that I never really try to change the scene. I just enjoy seeing whats around the next corner, or whatever. But one time, after becoming Lucid. I was feeling such a great sense of celebration, that I suddenly found myself on a beach, in the middle of a huge festival. Complete with music, and dancing, and food shops. After waking, I thought about it, and I realized that my feelings had created that whole scene. Because of this, I came up with this theory. That if a person could learn to understand, the thoughts and feelings behind the events that take place around them. they could learn to alter the dream, by generating the right thoughts and emotions, that go with what they want to create. This theory, Led to what was probably the most strange thing, that ever happened to me in a Lucid Dream.
A past Lucid Dream- Date: sometime in the late 90s
Hope I can describe this right.
I don't remember what was going on before I became Lucid. But I was in a stairwell of some building, when I suddenly realized I was dreaming. It was kind of a boring place, just surrounded by walls and stairs. I was about to go looking for a way outside, But I then decided, that I would try and see if I could make the outside world come to me. without closing my eyes, I visualized a mountain landscape. And I tried to generate the emotions I would feel, if I was standing in that landscape, at that moment. I take a deep breath, and completely relax. My arms at my sides, with the palms of my hands outwards. And with everything I had, I tried to send the feeling of this mountain landscape rushing out of me, and into the dream around me. What happened next, happened very fast and sudden.
The stairwell I was in, suddenly spun around me in a blur and disappeared. And at the same time that it began to spin, I fell through the floor. It was more like I got sucked out of the bottom of the dream. And I was hurled completely out of control at high speed, through a black nothingness. And for the first time ever, I was wondering if maybe I had done something I should not have. I was a little worried, but not really afraid. I was strangely curious about what would happen next. I only had a very brief moment, to wonder what was going on.
Because the next thing I know, a train suddenly appears below me. I literally fall into another dream scene! I land on my feet, on top of a moving train.
My very first thought is, oh good I'm still dreaming. I am a little relieved to be back on familiar territory. I look around, and I am now riding the train through the most beautiful mountain landscape you can imagine. the clouds in the sky are a strange greenish color. And they are rolling and swirling, just like when they show the sky of a dream in a movie. I had done it! I completely changed the dream, without taking one step to find my way outside. A little stunned from what had just happened, I didn't really know what to do next. So I just started hopping train cars, until I reached the front of the train. Then I just stood there, enjoying this spectacular scenery that I had just created. And there are now small birds flying around me, so close I could reach out and touch them. After a short while of riding I wake up.
I have not tried this again since, but I plan to sometime.
