dreams amaze me

[Rothgar]

Last night I was dreaming I was at a party and ready to leave. I went to find my sneakers...all the shoes were in a pile. I dug through them and thought I found them (they are silver and black). But when I pulled them out of the pile they were white and orange. I thought that was weird...how could I have been that far wrong? So I put them back down in the pile, and while I was watching them, they changed before my eyes into my shoes. Now I have done some pretty amazing things in an LD. But maybe because I wasnt lucid at the time it absolutely blew my mind. I turned to someone and said to them I was worried I had some strange psycholgical problem, because I knew I was seeing something that just isn't possible. Fortunately, it then occurred to me that I must be dreaming, so I did an RC and became lucid. But let me tell you, experiencing the 'impossible' like that...not realizing it was a dream...what I thought was pure magic...will long be remembered.

This just reminded me of "magic" in my non-lucid. We were playing ball and I was able to direct the ball just by looking at direction and knowing it will go that way. I didn't know I can do that but I acted as if i knew, and it amazed me. I remember telling someone I have magic now. I love when lucid elements like control happen in non-lucids. It makes me feel like such a badass. More so than in LD.

I have all kinds of strange things happen in non-lucid dreams. I usually chalk it up to some strange force of nature I was previously unaware of. The other night, I could jump over 30 feet high, and it didn't even seem to phase me. I just did it. Mind you, I told myself before I fell asleep that I could fly in my dreams, and I had the Superman soundtrack playing. Then late in the night, the Superman soundtrack started playing again, and that's likely what got me to jump so high.

An interesting point, and I agree. Once there was an evil wizard who was oppressing the whole wizard school and ruling us with fear and superior powers. Somehow I knew I could take him, and I did. I even shoved something up his ass as a final insult. Later I became lucid but really, the non lucid part was the best. But I dont knock becoming lucid because I then usually seem to 'remember' the earlier non lucid parts as clear, real memories and not fuzzy dream segments.

Most, if not all of my non-lucids have some strange/bizarre stuff happening in them, and my dream self finds it completely normal most of time, i really need to work on my awareness.

Unfortunately this is true for most of us. It takes real effort to overcome the acceptance of the unbelieveable.

It's awesome isn't it. That feeling will come even after hundreds of lucids, I am still amazed at the beauty of some things in my dreams.
