My 1st Real Lucid Dream...

**Roulemoure** · 04-08-2011 05:24 AM

I had an amazing Sleep-Paralysis/Lucid Dreaming episode the other night. I believe it was Tuesday night. Well, to begin with I had to work earlier that day, about 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Well, of course I get home and I'm tired so I took a 2 hour nap and woke up around 8ish. When I woke up, I did the usual daily duties, ironing my clothes and getting ready for the next day. I knew that it was possible I could have a sleep-paralysis episode seeing as how I took a 2 hour nap earlier so I went back to bed around 12:00 A.M. I'm not sure what time it was but I turned the television off, lay on my back with my hands to my side, and just focused. I kept telling myself when I started to doze off I would try to snap back to attention. Well, eventually I did doze off but then woke up not much later. Well, kinda woke up. I was experiencing sleep paralysis. I could barely open my eyes. Just barely. But then, all of a sudden, my eyes jolted open. They were wide open, looking around the room, but I couldn't move any other part of my body. And I made sure I didn't try because I didn't want this to stop.

So during this time, I tried to relax and imagine myself coming out of my body. I tried and tried but couldn't do it. I failed at the "Out-Of-Body Experience." Now, I'm not going to lie, I was still terrified during this whole experience. I still felt as though something evil was in the room with me like every other time. So, not too long after trying to have an O.B.E. I started looking around the room again. Just over my girlfriends side of the bed I saw a dark figure appear! Just instantly, appeared. My heart started racing. I was seriously terrified. I looked at for at least 2 seconds when all of a sudden, it put its hand out and lunged at me. As soon as I saw it jump towards me, I jammed my eyes shut. My heart still racing I told myself I was okay, nothing happened to me physically except for a scare. That was all. Nothing is going to hurt me.

Well, alright. After that happened I started to relax again. I tried to imagine things. Things I wanted to see. I tried to relax my body and imagine myself floating. Then, I started lucid dreaming. It was amazing. Nothing short of amazing and exhilarating. I was in an open space, about the size of an average movie theater. It was almost pitch black, but I could make out the size based on the corners and walls, and I noticed I was floating almost toward the ceiling. Then, these beautiful, small, candle-sized lights were appearing around me and trying to touch me and I was able to maneuver around them by flying. It was like a game they were playing with me. It was one of the most vivid and amazing things I have ever experienced.

Sounds like you had fun, congrats on your first lucid.

It'd be a good idea to copy this to your dream journal (one can be started on this site) and to do the same with every other dream you have. It's a great way to improve your dream recall ability and you'll eventually start noticing patterns that you can take advantage of to further improve your lucid dreaming abilities.

Wow, that sounded like an interesting experience.

I don't get what's up with these dark scary figures everyone reports seeing. I haven't personally seen them thank God, but I definitely experienced the feeling of an evil presence in the room at times while falling asleep/waking up. It's like you just know you're not alone.

i only notice this figure during Sleep-Paralysis, its a dark shadowy figure that floats up on my wall and likes to inch closer and closer to me. it appears then disapears when i look then look away. when i get tired of playing this game i just roll over on my side and it goes away so does my Paralysis. lol

I have no idea where this "dark-figure" comes from. I'm not really a believer in anything paranormal or such, so I lean more towards the dark figure being a manifestation of something in all of our minds. Although even with knowing this, it still scares the shit out of me every time. By the way, I know a guy who had a friend that would taunt this "dark-figure" and he said that eventually, the figure would attack him during SP episodes. So.....I don't know how to expand on that. lol.
