Thread: Strange things, anyone experience this?

Last night I had this strange experience upon becoming fully lucid.

I was riding some sort of scooter through an empty town, empty in that there were no people around, and at one point I realized "hey there's no one around that's weird... oh this must be a dream!". Usually I'd tend to gloss over this fact, but I stopped and paused to confirm this thought. I got off the scooter and was looking around, and yes in fact I was dreaming. People and crowds suddenly started to appear in front of me. I was thinking it was interesting that on becoming lucid people started to fill up the empty space. Then as I realized more about being in a dream things started to get weird. And by weird, I mean different than what usually happens when I get lucid.

I started to remember my "waking life" and how it was weird that I should have amnesia going into the dream state. And now I remembered "who I was" from when I was awake. Then I started to walk forward, and I tripped. I fell over, and I kept falling over. I couldn't walk straight without falling. I started to become really euphoric and then thought to myself to calm down and center. I was looking around and the ground had changed from being a asphalt street to this morphing and undulating malleable surface. I remembered to try rubbing my hands together to stabilize the dream, but they felt very tingly, vibrating, and "static", like they weren't entirely whole but not entirely hollow either. Maybe saying they felt "fuzzy" rubbing them together is a valid description also. So anyway, it didn't help to stabilize the dream but it did feel interesting. Around the dream, everything started to glow and feel like it was dissolving. I had felt a combination of being centered and the dream feeling euphoric at the same time. Like two sides of a coin. Then I ended up halfway waking up and entering into another dream I think... anyway was wondering if anyone had this happen to them before. And I was confused in retrospect because I thought by myself being calm that the dream would stabilize, but it was almost as if becoming lucid triggered something in the dream state to make it end. Perhaps I should try verbal commands next time.
