Thread: My Next Lucid Dream Task: I would like everyone to try this one.

Anyone ever seen Cities of the Underworld by the History Channel? (Highly recommend if you haven't)

Anywho, last night I thought it would be quite interesting to explore an underground city in a LD.

Just imagine what you would find, underground, in your own head!

Would you find treasure? Another civilization? or your worst nightmare lurking just beneath?

I'm so excited!!!

Oh done that some times, tough other than monsters and scared people I don't seem to find anything interesting there lol

Hrmmm.... outcome of this kind of adventure was never good for me.

In my underground wanderings, I sometimes end up in some concave smooth room with what looks like Australian aboriginal markings. I get a feeling of dread, like something is coming... and I need to flee.

If I'm lucid it's not a problem, but if I'm not the panic lasts until I wake up. At which point I am rational, but a bit off for a few hours.

Guess underground wandering is not for me unless I am lucid in the dream.

Have anyone been in the labyrinth-like place made of a lot of rooms, elevators and such? I had a dream when I entered such place via subway station.

In my experience underground places are hell. It's very hard to get back to the surface for myself even while lucid. They consists of hundreds of thousands of rooms that all look very similiar and no apparent way of escape. If I am non-lucid it's even worse so much so that it freaks me out. It's like being in a never ending labrynth one with no exit only the initial entrance.

Also I have been trapped in buildings that follow the same pattern. Either way I hate being trapped underground it's absolutely dreadful. That is unless of course it's an actual city with inhabitants, and the likes. If your alone it's absolutley dreadful.

Interesting. That's more and more strengthen a viewpoint that there are a lot of common things in human minds which are projected into dream world. Being a newbie dream cartographer I've read a lot of discussion about common elements of dream maps and labyrinth of many rooms is rather common pattern. It is also recommended to stay away off them as there are nothing really interesting and it tend to dissolve one's lucidity pretty fast, though I can not verify this claim as I was not there in lucid state. Btw, do you have subway in your dreams or any other underground transportation facility?
