One Hell of a Night!

I cannot believe what I just woke up too, I got started with Lucid Dreaming along time ago and I quit 2 years ago with happily catching a lucid dream every few months. But damn last night was insane. Being in college my sleep plan was normally odd last night, went to bed at 5 p.m. woke up at 1 a.m., did part of a essay and went back to sleep at 3 a.m. -- my god was that a good decision XD. I had 7+ different lucid dreams last night and 4 to 5 false awakenings. I had so much dream time I was finally able to test out alot of BillyBobs dream techniques. I fell backwards and spun in giant 360 degree spins over ten feet in the air to help ground the dream. the dreams were initially fuzzy and breaking in and out but focusing on objects close by (like my hands) cleared the dream up! my god it turned from 80's television to 1080 p HD flat screen quality in like 30 seconds.

The thing i was pissed pleased ;D about the most was the delivery system for the dream hopping. I had never done it before, but read about it jealously here on Dreamviews once. When the dream fades it brings to back to a trance-like state were you think your awake but your still incredibly fuzzy feeling and light headed, each time it did this I felt like I was in my room lying in bed. But the que that each false awakening was indeed fake was there was always something very wrong in my room! I heard voices, TV going, someone even walked in once and said to get to work, a shadow off my wall "ate" me, the crazy one was when everyone from my part time job was sitting on my bed with me in it getting ready for work (thats not odd right?) I almost got up for work when i saw that one. Some meditation tricks were used each time to bring me back into the dreams, it worked so well I still have a grin from ear to ear.

Cool dream experiences. My favorite one was being out on my farm, sunny day walking around on the grass and saw a tarp just lying on the ground. picked up two corners in each hand and jumped. It was like a reverse parachute! i floated up hundreds of feet and soared over trees taking in the view, my trusty tarp taking me where ever i steered it. -- Another awesome dream was still back on my farm, standing on top of our tallest barn. I was trying to superman fly but I kept jumping up only ten feet or so and cartwheeling and flailing my arms as I crashed back down. After 3 attempts I told myself "I can do this" felt like it was and supposed to happen when I jumped,and sure enough I was off like a rocket in superman pose over the same trees i parachuted over in the last dream! Other then a badass zipline between two mountain tops and floating around clumsily in my house (even went halfway into the ceiling) the other dreams were less exciting and I practiced ALOT of dream clarifying in those, maybe thats why I had a few really clear ones at the end. I got to say last night was badass and easily the best lucid experience I've had. I abused BillyBob's knowledge relentlessly and it paid off very well. Thanks for reading!

Yea it was crazy, but the thing is I never woke up. when one dream setting faded I was brought back which what i thought was my room, but it felt so wrong I didnt try to move or wake up. I mediated by feeling my breathing and it felt like energy running through, getting stronger, and the new dream-scape would form. My guess why it worked so well is that i wasnt tired, I got 6 hours of sleep beforehand and had already been through REM, which they say helps alot. But yea the dreams just kept coming, I was 'stuck' in that cycle until i made the mental decision to quit because I didn't want to forget the dreams i had earlier. If I could re-act that cycle again I would be the happiest man alive. All i can say I did differently that night was having slept beforehand and the method i fell asleep with, I normally control my breathing whenever I want to fall asleep fast, I picked that trick up here a long time ago, but this time I imagined my diaphragm "flexing" with my breathing. when you breath it in, it straightens out, breath out, it bends. like a straight line bending with your breathing in your minds eye. It worked well because my mind wasn't going off on tangents like it usually does. But yea it was crazy, felt like i could of had as many lucid dreams as I wanted. Was a great morning

I love how a dream can put you in an amazing mood for the rest of the day, I just love dreams. I'd love to experience something like you have

What made you go to sleep at 5 PM?

I know I was the happiest I'd been for awhile, It was like god damn i did what again?! Flew twice? hell yes! But the reason I crashed so early that night was because I was beat from work but more that i took a fail nap, I wanted to get up at 7 p.m. but woke up at 1 a.m. instead
