Thread: A Little Intuition?

Sounds like you got the shinning. I never get lucid by intuition, it's gotta be a strange occurance like a pink monkey on a uni-cycle breathing fire while re-writing Shakespears Romeo And Juliet, don't ask...
You sound like a natural LDer, do you enter the dream already aware?

Only twice have I entered the dream aware. It went like this...

I was going to sleep in my dorm room and I heard the clock beep meaning it had become 10:00 pm. The next thing I know I'm sitting up and starting to flip through this book of paintings. I immediately knew that this was impossible and became lucid. I kept looking through the book and it was filled with vivid painting after vivid painting.

Then I looked to my left where there was a lamp (not in real life) and I noticed that the light wasn't coming directly from the lamp. Just a little askew. The light was like a bare bulb on the room. The posters on my wall were mostly there and in the right place, except for some cutouts of girls from some issue of Maxim. I snapped my fingers and they "wiped" themselves onto the wall. I felt it fade, tried to spin, but it was too late and I woke.

It was 10:08 pm.

And this...

I was having these very vivid hypnagonic images as I was falling asleep and they kept waking me up as soon as I realized what was happening. Well, eventually, one of my friends, John, asked me for eye-drops and I gave him some. We went outside and he (now Chris) told me they were empty and threw the bottle to me. I decided they were just totally full and thus looked empty and took a sip to prove it. It was salty so I spit it out and it kept flowing from my mouth.

I thought that was a strange occurance and remembered all my hypnagonic images. So I just gave myself a second to let it go and hopefully not wake myself up from it (still flowing from the mouth). When I looked up I knew.

Chris and Mike (friends of mine) were throwing snowballs at a wall and I started to fly, hover actually. I shouted to Chris that I was dreaming and he wasn't too interested. Then I noticed this girl who had a lot of backpacks and I said for her to come over where I was (bubbling from the mouth still with Visine). She wasn't going to do it at first, but then I ordered her to. I told her to take off the backpacks and she did. Then I told her to take off her shirt, but she couldn't on account of the huge, huge helmet she was wearing. I started laughing and woke up.

I would have to say all of the above. Most of my dreams these days i become aware with no checks its like im tossed into a movie i dont want to be in so i do what i want to do. Im still thinking about this one but i think the reality checks are part of the early stages of lucid awarness. I dont really catch my self doing reality checks people talk about now. Maybe i do but im so use to it it feels natural. Its like you just know the difference. I do recall dreams when i look for wierd things before i was aware of a lucid dream. good question you have me thinking
