Thread: The darkness before you wake up, and "the tunnel"

I call the blackness the void. I have a part about this in my tutorial about Dream Stabilization (that is still awaiting approval)...which is really interesting because I hadn't seen anyone else suggest linear acceleration before while inside the void. In my tutorial I explain how this can be used to enter a new lucid dream. Basically you start moving forward, accelerating linearly through the darkness, getting faster and faster. Eventually you are flying so fast through the darkness that it breaks the fabric of the void and you will suddenly find yourself entering a bright lucid dreamscape. I have used this quite a few times. One time however...and this was really strange...when I was accelerating through the void...something invisible with strong hands and sharp fingernails grabbed hold of me and would not let go. I had to fight it off all the way back out of the dream and into my bed. Creepy, eh?

This thread is so interesting. The mind is such a cool thing. If I could chose to trade everything in my life for the full knowledge and capacity of my brain I would do it. It's impossible to understand what would happen if the brain could be explored to it's fullest extent.

Sorry for my rantings, this endless tunnel of void, reminded me of how I once stared down an infinite mirror. Which then reminded me of the mind for some reason

I wan't to explore this void, after I dream I will try to find it.

That's really cool about breaking the fabric, would love to read your tutorial. I have tried something similar but not exactly like that before actually. Only I curled myself up into a ball and closed my dream body eyes and it was more like flying irregularly or falling, as if I were going to imagine a wall to hit and slam into, causing a dream to happen. That didn't work though.

I have found ways to open my eyes, one time by waving my fingers in front of them, sort of brushing my forehead in a way I saw a man do. As if you are brushing the clouds and dust away from your vision. Sort of like third eye stuff, but I don't have any true third-eye experiences of my own, but this action caused my eyes to open. If you can get them to truly open, it will be another dream. It's like we have many eyes, layers of them.

Anyway this is exactly what I'm talking about! Thanks!

And thanks WakingNomad. I remembered you talking about wormholes before. There is no light at the end of these tunnels though, they look like wormholes but I'm not sure what they are.

Too bad cause I did go lucid last night, but I lost most lucidity towards the end and began to follow a DC and the story. So it's not going to happen everytime I go lucid, and It's not at the top of my list, but if I find myself in the blackness I'll be sure to mess with it some more. And go for more speed, because I was not going that fast before or really trying to, because I was trying to think about and be sure I wanted to get to the end of the tunnel lol. But anyway, great stuff glad you liked it Clearview thanks for letting me know.

No Problem. Thanks for sharing this with me
I have yet to lucid dream.

Interesting

The one LD that I had the best control over it started to wash out (whiteout) then I woke up. I've had poor LD's where I know for a second or 2 that I'm dreaming, but then it like any other dream where it goes to black or w/e

I should really try to pay attention more, but don't quite know how to do that

this sounds insane!

I can only think of one time being in a void. Most of the time my inbetween state is very bright - because the physical sun is shining on my eyes. But, I'll try to remember this the next time I'm in a void!

I've been in a white void before.

I have also pushed to the edge of a dream-bubble, or universe, or something. There was this black stuff, kind of goopy. I think some tentacles grabbed me, and I go scared, and moved away.
