Vivid and Crafty DC Waking me Up
So, I had a pretty self-defeatingly unsuccessful series of lucid dreams the other afternoon (I'm a night worker/day sleeper, and WILD/SP comes pretty naturally). I was going in fully intending to have one of those 'Deep' conversations with my subconscious through a DC.
I wasn't being particularly specific, as I've done this kind of thing before by just walking up to the first dream person I would see and striking up the conversation.
This time, apparently, my subconscious saw me coming and didn't feel like cooperating. My transition from waking to SP to dreaming was pretty standard for me -- Buzzing noise in my head, then I felt myself roll out of bed. Usually once I walk/fall/float from bed, I can make my way to the nearest door or window, step through, and find myself in a dream.
This time, I crawled over to my window, pushed the blinds out of the way, and crawled outside. I was in a town, narrow street, tall buildings, not a great deal of foot traffic. Strangely, I was soon approached by an absurdly attractive woman (Indian, short hair). She introduced herself as 'Shanti', and put her hand on my cheek. She offered, before I said anything, that I didn't REALLY just want to talk. I was, suffice to say, instantly seduced, and my body's reaction instantly woke me up.
Couple minutes later, I drifted back into the dream... I called her name a couple of times, and she appeared from around the corner, waving and grinning. She welcomed me back, giving me a warm hug, and then she told me she loved me before giving my earlobe a nibble and... DAMN! Woke me up, again.
Good way to be annoyed, but it was pretty unusual in how readily I got overstimulated and woke up... Usually I can have some pretty intense dreams without getting to that point.
