What Does it mean to be Lucid?
new to this site. i have never logged a dream but i would like to start. i have very interesting dreams. and for some reason my dreams feel as real as the "real"? so how can i distinguish reality from dream. the feeling, the air, the smell, everything is so real. when i wake, i feel like im still dreaming. its very freaky to know my dreams can be so real. i know im dreaming but i cant control what happens. im standing there and everything happens against my will. i can clear the dream and add color. i can see as if it was with my real eyes. but im powerless to help what happens.
just the other night, i have a lucid dream only 3 minutes after sleeping. i closed my eyes and right away the images flew in. i knew what was happening so i cleared it up so i could see clearly. i looked at my feet and hands. i touched my face. i smelled the air.i touched the counter of the school room i was in. it was a japanese elementary school. there was a post board that had paintings of japanese calligraphy. so many vivid colors of paper. the moon shun in through the window. the water dripped in the sink to my side. i was in a back office room. the lights were off. but in the room to my left, through the door the lights were on. i stood up and balanced myself.i walked towards the 2 desk in front of me. i was sleeping in my bed but my spirit was there and i was sure of it. i was there in a very real sense. to see through those dream eyes felt like seeing through my real eyes. and then a girl came screaming into the room. she ran behind the desk. and a man stood at the door with a knife in his hand. and he felt or saw me. then when he walked to the girl, i was sucked back into my body. i opened my eyes as if i had just blinked. only 3 minutes had gone by.
now im not religious at all. i know there is something after death. i have felt it and seen it. believe me or not is up to you. but ever since i was a kid, i have seen many ghost and things kids shouldnt see. i have seen them as if they were real people. i have been attacked and found with scratches, bruises and bite marks on my body. there is something after we die. heaven, not likely to me. but i feel my soul will be an all knowing knowledge with no body to inhabit. but when my body is returned to another body, all is forgotten and left to find out in another lifetime.
i have constant deja vu. every waking minute is a minute i have already seen and/or lived. i can call it in my head before something happens. and it always does as i think "i knew it was going to happen, i knew you would say those exact words" i dream of the day ahead of me sometimes. now what is it when we do that?? are we psychic?? do we posses the ability to be something greater??
so what is it to be lucid?? are we dreaming? or living? are we living in another time or another place? are our souls constantly active while or physical bodies arent? seeing and traveling gaining knowledge while we sleep??
i want to know the real answer to these questions. but i know they cant be given to me. i will seek them out myself......
Seeing Through My Eyelids..
how many people have been able to see through their eyelids?? but instead of seeing what is originally there, you see something that wasnt there??
again this sounds ridiculous. and i know its impossible.
but just the other night, i was laying in bed by myself. my room mates were away for the weekend. im in the navy so i share a barracks room. anywayz, the motion light near the entrance door was on. i closed my eyes and and i could see through my eyelids as if i didnt close my eyes at all. only it was black and white completely void of color. i opened them again to make sure i was still awake. and i was. the motion light turned off. i closed my eyes again. this time, there was a man sitting on my couch with his back to me. he was wearing the navy dress blue uniform. he had very light colored hair. he stood up and walked towards the entrance but stopped short at the fridge. he then calmly turned to me and saw me laying there in bed. i opened my eyes very suddenly... my motion light had been turned on. but there was nobody in the room and i was too far to trigger it.
is it possible to be lucid or see things almost instantly after closing our eyes?? i know i was awake. i couldnt sit still after that. i had to go to my friends room for a little bit to take my mind off of it.
has anybody else ever been able to do this?? am i the only one??
another time i was laying with my girlfriend in her room. its a japanese style room called tatami. the lights were off. she was sitting up on her elbow while stroking my face. i closed my eyes, and i saw her as clear as day. her expression, her hair, her blinking. i opened my eyes and saw nothing but blackness.
do people possess differant and unique abilities??
i havent told anybody these things because of course nobody will believe me. thats why i write online. people just might have the same things as me.
