Thread: A Lucid Experience

I have been able to Lucid Dream for a couple of years now. Instead of doing some technique to dream such as looking at my hands for a certain amount of time, or telling myself to dream of something I don't do anymore. I just imagine a place in my head and there I am. Let's say I want to dream of a city, ill imagine it for around 10 minutes while I fall asleep and there I am. Detail and everything is great, and for a while now my dreams have been gaining length. I can do ANYTHING I want in them. From flying across the city, to completely shifting to another area such as a forest, I can do anything. For about 3 years I have done this every night, but one dream 1 month ago stood out. Let's begin in my city.

I started the dream in my city. I don't know how to explain it, but imagine something like Los Angles, but cleaned up and beautiful. People walking everywhere, busy going somewhere I don't know of. Shops everywhere, and full on sunshine. I walk around for a bit, trying to find my friends or family, and when I was walking for about 3 minutes, everyone vanishes and it turns dark. I find a bridge, crossing a stream of water and look out into it. It was well lit and I felt safe. I was planning to fly off from here, but I couldn't, something felt wrong. I look over to my right and saw a girl standing there holding a knife. At this point I begin to realize that this is a nightmare and I try to change my thoughts to something else. I turned around and ran. For about 5 minutes it felt like I was in a horror movie. She knew where I would run and where I was going. The worst part of the dream was that I was lucid. The ENTIRE time I felt like I was running slow, it felt like I was cold. Eventually when the dream was about to end, I was stabbed by her. 3 times to be exact. The first time it hurt, second time it hurt worse, third time is when the dream ended. I carried on the rest of the day thinking not much of it until I dreamed the next night. Same person, different location, same death. This has been carrying on for about 1 month and its different each time. Some nights that I don't dream i'm ok. But whenever I dream its the same death every time. I go on the offensive, I get stabbed. I hide, I get stabbed. I managed to fly once, but that ended with her managing to get me when I landed. What does this mean? Why is it the same death every time? I have a notebook that I log in every night to study my dreams. I have found many things about my dreams. Some of them are creepy and weird, others are awesome. I will update later.
