Thread: Arrrghh!!!! So CLOSE!!!!!!!

Hi, FryingMan:

Again, great advice, for which I thank you. Rehearsing becoming lucid sounds like an EXCELLENT idea!

I LOL'd regarding our respective differences towards dream girls. In this instance, my "impression" was that it would have been age-inappropriate for me to engage in any relationship with this DC, even though she was unseen and it was a dream! Maybe it's because of my Buddhist training. A non-virtuous thought or act, whether in real life or in a dream still carries a negative impact on a person's mental continuum.

I know I woke up for a time in-between these recurring dreams. I wrote a goodly amount in my journal, then turned off the light. I can't rightly say what happened after that, though. I can't remember if I was dwelling on the dream and fell asleep and that was why it re-played, or if (as you say) I passed back into the recurring dream without passing through unconscious sleep. I suppose it really doesn't matter. Pigeonholing or strictly characterizing the mode of having become lucid is not really my aim here. My aim is to become lucid and have it last long enough to be fun! For those few seconds where I was floating in slow motion above the broom looking down at the non-compressed bristles - that was so cool! The strangeness of that occurrence popped me straight into lucidity! Too bad that's where it all came to an end as well.
