Thread: Newbie: Lucid dreams, floating through walls

Hi, my name is Megan and I just found this site. It's very interesting. At any rate, I'm 39 years old and have been lucid dreaming since childhood. The very first lucid dream I had was when I was probably around 9 years old. I've never tried to have one, I just happen to have them from time to time. My question has to do with a dream I had 2 nights ago. I dreamed that I was floating. It was a wonderful feeling and for some reason in my dream I felt so light and I'm not only talking about my body feeling light. My whole spirit, my attitude, everything about me felt so light and carefree. It was a wonderful feeling. At any rate, I have dreamed of floating before, but this was different. I would float upwards and then I'd go over to a brick wall and pass through it, pass through the wall. I felt as if I were a spirit and I could go through walls and such. It was if I could actually feel myself pushing against the wall until my spirit would just slip right through it. It was the greatest feeling ever. Once I tried to go through the wall and couldn't press through. It was as if I could feel the cheek of my face pressing against the hard brick, but couldn't go any further. I believe that I was about to wake up when I realized that I couldn't stand to lose that wonderful feeling and I began to try my hardest to press on through the wall and I did. I went right on through it again. It was great. My dreams lately have been very spiritual too.

I have panic attacks from time to time. And it's like I can't even escape the fear of having a panic attack in my dreams. I will dream that I'm far away from home and I begin to fear having a panic attack. That's the only yucky part of my dreams, the not being able to escape the fear.

Last night I dreamed that my husband and I went somewhere and we got lost from each other. This made me feel as if I were about to have a panic attack. I don't ever actually have a full blown panic attack in my dreams, but the fear of the attack is always there. Anyway, he finally showed back up and while we were standing around, 2 ladies appeared and began to sing the most beautiful gospel type music. It was just so beautiful. The ladies were very spiritual and I began rejoicing right along with them while they sang, I didn't care what anyone thought of me. The phone rang and awoke me from the dream. It was so wonderful when those ladies were singing, I was very sorrowful that the phone call woke me up.

Well, it's great to be here and I'm glad that I finally found somewhere that I could come and discuss all of this without fear of being thought crazy. I've talked to a few people about my dreams, but no one can really relate. Hope someone here has some suggestions or thoughts on all of this. Thanks for your help

Hi, welcome to DV!
Well, you've certainly come to the right place to talk about your dreams!
I know what you mean when you say that some people can't relate.
Also, you sound like you could be a natural lucid dreamer. You might want to check out the tutorials, see if they sound like anything you are doing unconsciously.
btw, lucid dreams could also help you to deal with your panic attacks in real life.
