Lately my lucid dreams have taken an interesting turn for the better, in terms of clarity and overall sense of lucidness.. If that's the proper term.

The last two times I have had lucid dreams they've began as normal dreams, generally hazy, somewhat blurry, non sensical, almost rehashed memories of events of the day, the past, songs I heard etc... Then at some point during dreaming something clicks and it all stops and I am standing somewhere looking at objects and my vision is 20/20 and I feel a strange euphoric feeling as I continue to just stare at these objects and examine them. It is while this is happening that I realize I am lucid dreaming and I take note of just how amazingly clear and clairvoyant everything around me is.

Then I feel as if I have gone past the boundaries of whatever fabric could possibly be holding my dream world in place and everything turns black. I am in the middle of a darkness. There's nothing around me. I'm neither falling or going anywhere. All of the sudden green hills are generated around me and I begin to move forward. And then I feel like I am falling out of a lucid dream and everything feels as if it is reverting back to a dream of nonsense really where whatever happens, just happens. But at the same time the dream takes on a more storylike aspect to it and I encounter things that seem out of this world, as if I am on another planet.

I always wonder if lucid dreaming can actually lead to astral projection. And if maybe I have projected myself elsewhere. I dunno. Something I always wondered.

And does anyone else ever lucid dream and see other people and walk up to the people in their dream and try to examine their faces? I do this sometimes and I notice the people I encounter in my lucid dream look a bit like ghosts and their eyes are pure white and they look kind of dead. But they're moving etc. Whenever I do this I always try talking to the person and I tell them my name and I say to them "we're dreaming, I want you to remember this when you wake up."
