Hi all

Ive recently began reading alot about lucid dreaming since reading an article in newscientist about sleep and dreaming. After a few google searches i realised that i have experienced something like this before!

1.) When i was very young, about 5 or 6 i would say, i remember having a dream, it was very vivid and so real! I woke from my bed, walked to the toilet and began to wee. For a reason i couldnt understand i was weeing all over myself and woke up in a wet bed!! (dont laugh i know people have experinced this before! )

I beleive this is called false waking and is some sort of aspect of lucid dreaming.

2.) Very recently (before reading about lucid dreams) i dreamed i was on top of a multistorey carpark. I was trying to diffuse a nerve gas bomb of some sort and failing miserably. Maybe because i have no experince in such things Anyway when i realised i had failed and the timer was on like 5-10 seconds left i decided to give up. Then i was on the street next to the carpark with the two people i was ontop with and we were walking away, acepted the fact the gas was going to kill us and just walking slowly. Then i began stumbling, no pain no fear just dying i rember dropping to the pavement the gas had taken its effect on me and all was going black.

When it did go black i opened my eyes (still dreaming) and relised i had died but was a ghost of somesort. Everything was so twilighty and vivid! I began to float about 2 meters from the ground at walking speed by tilting my hands parralel to the floor in the direction i wanted to go and realised i had alot of control. I do not think it was totally lucid as i dont remember thinking i was in a dream just that i was a ghost and could float. I floated along to a tall how with very glowing lights from the windows which made it look very warm and inviting from outside. I could see a woman faintly though an open window and floated up quite far to see her, she was ironing or something aand i just observed! Que waking world.


Now im not these were "real" lucid dreams but they were cool!


I am going to experiment with the techniques i have read about to try to induce lucidity in my dreams. Watch this space

Sorry for the rushed approach i was in a hurry when i wrote this.
