Thread: 50% awake during lucid dream

I was practicing a new technique I made up myself. I call it the "Positive induced lucid dream" All I do throughout the day is say positive things about myself and lucid dreams for example "Lucid dreaming is painfully easy. I thought learning how to count was easy but lucid dreaming takes the cake! It's so painfully easy a child can do it!" Yeah you get the idea. Anyway it paid off.

I dreamt that I was feeling vibrations. They stop and I get out of my bed and look around. I then did the nose plugged RC and I could breath through my nose. It was kinda weird. I felt like I was going to fade. I rubbed my hands as well. Suddenly. I couldn't move my upper body. It made me fall on the side of the bed. I also looked at my hands and I only saw my left hand. I felt that I had a right hand but I didn't see it. I imagined a rope to appear on my room ceiling but it did not appear. Then I tried to sorta imagine a spirit coming out of my body. Didn't work either. Then a voice says "Hear you go" and a rope appears on my ceiling. I climbed the rope then let go and my upper body was normal again. I then proceeded to go downstairs and walk around. I then noticed a window. It was dark outside but it was different than my normal window. I then decided to try making a fireball but then I wake up back to this crappy physical reality.

I was not fully conscious during this dream. But aware enough to do those reality checks. Even though I wasn't fully lucid I did things that I would most likely do. In other words the way I acted in the dream seemed like my normal behavior. The dream was very consistent than most of my dreams. Usually my dream would have me doing something then randomly shift to me doing something totally different.

While my experience this morning was very different, for the first time I experienced a 50% awake / altered state also. I believe mine was more of an astral projection than a lucid dream. Check out my post if you want to compare notes. I have never experienced it before, very odd.

Firstly! imo the whole point of we we're doing here is to find a greater appreciation for Reality in its Entirety. To see the parelles between the two realms. Not to become discontented with the waking world. It's just a marvelous as the dream but we tend to ignore the wonders (like a non-lucid dreamer!)

Secondly, a video describing not percentages of lucidity, but layers. enjoy

I can understand what you mean for appreciating reality. But when you say reality as a whole are you just talking about this physical plane of existence? Or the other planes or realms (If you believe in that stuff). What I meant by "crappy physical reality" is that sometimes dreams can be so engaging that it makes waking life pale in comparison to the dream world.

Reality? Just another world for what is. One of many. Experience, Existence, etc. Or you can always reference Morpheus' definition.

Sure the Dream is engaging but don't forget what dreaming is! It is only yourself --your subconscious, higher self-- entertaining what you think you are. We've been trained and conditioned to identify with a thing that is false, shallow. Don't be tricked. Read a book: Transparency of Things.pdf
