Greetings all,
I have been lucid dreaming for about a year now, but i've had a recent experience that troubled me. I was wondering if anybody has any feedback or have had similar experiences.
I was wallowing in a hypnogogic state and visuals started forming, drifting into a dream state i realized i was dreaming and "woke up" within the transitional phase. I was still viewing the hypno visuals but at the same time could hear the heat kick on the clock and my girlfriend snoring in my ear. My body was awake but my mind was still asleep. It was dificult to hear people in my dream talk or to hear anything really all i heard was that which was happening in the waking world. Kinesthetically also. But my randomly firing synapses were over taking my visual.
Has this ever happened to anybody? It was disturbing to me.
The only research i have done is LaBerge"s book but like any other book, it doesn't have all the answers. Maybe i'm slowly losing sanity But i don't have anybody else to talk to about this. My girlfriend thinks I'm performing some occult ritual. And i'm afraid to tell anybody else about this or my experiences for fear of being ridiculed or frowned upon. My ideas aren't like those i have seen on sites about lucid dreaming and am just trying to find a place. I have other theories and ideas that i won't divuldge as of yet, perhaps once we get to know one another.
Thank you for your time.
