Fruity Loops

I like to believe (and I believe that beliefs precede ideas) that I am the kind of person that thinks that cyclical time has a lot more advantages than linear time. And it is also much more fun, so maybe that is why this kind of things happen to me once in a while:

I woke up one morning and there was a very strange, big and I think blue or blue-ish creature sitting on the right side of my bed, the kind you would expect to meet in a mitote, looking at me. I don’t know what I was dreaming before waking but I told him: “Darn, I was having such a nice dream and now I have woken up.” He told me: “You haven’t woken up yet.” I told him: “Yes, look”. So I got up and went to the bathroom. The door is right beside my bed to the left. I got undressed, took a shower, shaved, and got dressed. Doing all of this thinking that I was awake; it felt exactly like it, because I was in a lucid dream, but I hadn’t realized it.

Then, the split second when I crossed the door leaving the bathroom, I shifted from my body to the (my other) body lying in bed; and for that split second I felt/understood that I was indeed dreaming. But the shock of seeing myself (from the bed) leaving the bathroom when just a moment ago I was getting dressed in it, woke me up. And so I woke up, again, and told the creature: “You were right, I was dreaming”. “You are still dreaming” he said. I said: “No, look”. It really felt that I had waken up, with the previous experience fresh in my memory, and somehow not finding anything strange about the big monster sitting there chatting with me.

So I got up and went to the bathroom again. Undressed, showered, shaved and got dressed again. Then, just like the first time, the second I got through that door I shifted perspective and felt that I was dreaming about shifting perspective from the body walking out the door to myself lying in bed seeing myself walk through the door. No need to mention the jolt all that excitement provoked that I woke up again.

This time there was no creature, but everything happened just as before. To make the long story short, it took me 5 loops to realize something eerie was going on and got out of there.

Dream stupidity taken to a whole new level :D. Must been pretty annoying when you finally woke up.

That's interesting. Talk about routine.... It's like a shorter... not as fun or funny version of "Groundhog Day"

I thought this was going to be about the program fruity loops


Anyhow, I don't know if you should be glad to even have potential dream signs. All my dreams are regular, day to day life, so it's pretty much impossible for me to notice that I'm dreaming from any dream signs. I'm now starting to practice all day awareness in order to increase the chances of lucidity.

Be glad you're not me.

Anyhow, sounded like an interesting dream.

Be happy that you even got weirdness in your dreams. My dreams are much like daily life, rarely anything weird happens. It should be easier for you to recognize dreams (become lucid) if your dreams are as odd as that.

I did not receive any kind of impression from your post. I do not practice reading between the lines much

It was just a random comment I threw there.

Practice doing reality checks as soon as you wake up. Don't move, don't talk, don't do anything. Reality check.

Eventually you'll always do this in your FA's, making you lucid :)
