Carrying Over Artifacts

**epdawg62** · 09-19-2011 03:46 PM

I had a very unusual dream experience a few days ago. I was dreaming that I was on the shore of a beach, picking up fossils and minerals from off the ground and collecting them. One fossil had a leaf imprint and one of the minerals had some garnet (red crystal) chunks in it. I faded from the dream and woke up in my bed. I felt myself lying in the mattress and also felt some rocks in my right hand. I opened my eyes and looked at these rocks and saw that they were the specimens I had found from the dream! I knew it was a false awakening and became lucid.

Incredibly cool. I would like that to happen more often.

Probably should be in lucid experiences

Very cool, I want to get myself a collection of artefacts which I can store in a dream armoury!
Keep dreamin'

I was already halfway to calling you a lunatic when I read the false awakening part.
Phew.

Arch, your dream armoury idea is absolutely brilliant. I am going to start making lists of interesting objects as inspired by your post in this thread

There is a common theme between our Avatars!

What an amazing way to start a lucid dream! You must have had a few seconds pause when you saw them in your hand before you realized it was a false awakening. lol

"Could it really be...? Wait, no, impossible, I must still be dreaming!"

Wow. Dream armoury is the perfect description of what I kind of have going on. Fun way to word it anyway Arch, thanks.

Over the last 2 years or so I've discovered a magical comb, hookah, dream mask, and some other small nick nacks. If I'm ever having an especially awesome and well controlled dream I like to recreate them and find new results in using them.
Sounds like an awesome dream you had dawg.

Haha, my thought process exactly! That's a really cool way to become lucid though.

I was half-way to calling him the luckiest-person in the whole universe before reading the FA part... but lunatic works too. Pretty cool experience!

I've had that before, haha. It was cool. Dreamt of getting some drugs, "woke up" and reached in my pocket and they were there, realized I was dreaming. (Took them immediately.)

I like the armoury idea, too. I'd love to create/find any sort of consistent setting or objects in my dreams.
