Hi, new user here, Swede living in Western Australia doing studies.
I have been browsing the web for the past day trying to make sense of my (if im not mistaken) partially lucid dream, so first of all i'll tell you about that:
Pre dream:
2 days prior:
A friend briefly tells me about lucid dreaming after we watched a documentary on Chaos theory, and I find it quite interesting but left it after a brief thought.
1 day prior:
I was sleep depraved after spending the night at a friends house on his extremely uncomfortable couch and decided to take a brief nap to recover as I got back home.
I lay face down in my bed tired beyond my mind, the light was on and the blinds were wide open, yet I managed to fall asleep quite briefly (I think)
The dream:
Im suddenly back in Sweden in the dining area of my house, it's mid day and light is shining through all of the windows, somehow i realise that this is not real, cause I still somewhat fuzzy remembered that I was sleeping, I can't really place why that thought hit me, but the second it did I started floating, as if I was falling in slow motion, It was the exact same sensation that you get when floating completley relaxed in water.
However I was a bit troubled because it was hard to breath, as I drew in air it felt like my chest was being pressurized and it felt as if my lung capacity was down to 10% or something.
As the floating began I started realising I was actually in control, so i started flapping my arms and floated throughout the room and and into the neigbouring living room, as I did this I felt really happy, and was thinking over and over again "I'm controlling my dream this is awsome!" When I reached the middle of the living room I decided I wanted to drive a car, so I started imagining that I was inside of a racing car, belted down to a racing seat, however as I did this the dream faded away and I woke up, I think this was related to the "pressure" applied on my chest throughout the sensation that made it hard to breath and worried me and caught my thoughts a bit.
Post dream:
I woke up smiling, and started googling what had just happened, and eventually found this forum and registered to try and get some clarity and perhaps experience that fantastic sensation again.
I also realised that the trouble of breathing I was experiencing probably was because my face was partailly mashed into a pillow and both my hands were under my chest adding pressure to it.
The details of the dream that struck me as odd was the fact that it was as if recorded with the same technique they use for old series such as "the days of our lives" it was fuzzy, dim and partially saturated and a bit to bright.
I've always been a very vivid dreamer, I dream almost every night, and sometimes wake up really fascinated by my own imagination, I have on several occations been so amazed when waking up that i've written down every single aspect that I can remember thinking I could make "million dollar movies" of them.
I really need to experience this again and explore it more thoroughly, so where do I start?
