BOOM BOOM Lucid dreams

[Krrish]

Sleeptime: 2.30pm - 5.30 pm IST I had 4 false awakenings and 6 lucid dreams in a single sleep. Is it a record ? OBE(LD) -> FA -> LD -> LD -> FA -> LD -> FA -> LD -> FA -> LD I rarely sleep afternoon. And since I was tired of the exams, I decided to regain my power by sleep. Fan was rotating in full speed (Summer started in India.). I was thinking about lucid dreaming before going to sleep. After sometime I woke up in the middle of sleep paralysis. My natural disorder/gift. I usually wake up in sleep paralysis. But you should know that it is not enjoyable. Terrible sounds will be playing in the ears. Before I came to this site, I usually cry in my mind thinking that I am going to die and I cant see my relatives again or I have some serious disorder or my ears or brain have some serious defect. But this time everything was different. I promise that I didnt tried to go WILD. But as soon as I found myself in this condition, my body rised from the bed. yes an OBE. An automatic OBE. But the foot was fixed in the bed. Then I was able to seperated my foot also. Then I landed on the floor. But there was that terrible noise in my head again. So I decided to wake up, since I was afraid. I woke up from bed and went to read newspaper. There was two of my friends(dream signs) chatting to eatch other. They said hai to me. I started to read newspaper. I felt something different. So I did a reality check by counting the fingers. I understood that I am in a false awakening. I was amused by the crystal clarity of things around me. I started walking towards road yelling. My dad and his friends were coming towards me. He asked me "why are you yelling son ?". I doubted again. "Isnt this a dream?" So I jumped to air. And amusing me and my father, I floated in air and went far far away in sky. After that I found myself again in sleep paralysis. This time without any effort I had an OBE. It may be better called as WILD, since I entered a lucid dream directly. This time there was no terrible sound in my ears. But there was no light. I cant see anything. Actually it is not dark. But there is nothing around me. I had posted the similar condition in this forum and asked the remedy before. I remembered Asher's word to look in your pocket for a light source. I looked in my pocket and got a torch. But the torch was not able to illuminate the world around me. I checked whether it is working by directing it towards my eye. I saw some beautiful patterns and I woke up from bed. This time I read a magazine on the table and there was a puzzle in it. I was thinking about the lucid dreams I just had and soon the puzzle on the magazine became an animation. (I still remember that puzzle vaguely.) And it led me to a lucid dream. But it was tighly related with that puzzle. I became the actor in that puzzle. I had less controls. I losed lucidity some what. I started to feel pain in my eyes and woke up from bed. Switched on the PC and posted the entire story of lucid dreams on Dreamviews. I got some sudden replies also. Seeker was the first to reply, congratulating me. But when I switched off my PC. I again doubted is this another false awakening and did a reality check(checking the hands-my favorite and easy method). Oh it is a dream. But this time I acted more cleverly. I remained calm. I decided to find a beautiful girl and have sex with her.(I never had in real life) I saw one girl and I cant remember what happened. I had another false awakening and woke up from bed to enter a situation in my favorite movie(Indian). Once again I found out that I am dreaming and I found myself standing near a beast and beauty. The beauty was an Arabian Princess. I went near her and tried to touch her. But she was like a mannequin. And I lost the lucidity or I cant remember what happened. I again woke up from the bed and did a reality check and lay there for some time thinking about all the dreams. I found that the fan is not rotating and I am sweating of heat. My brother came to my room and said you were talking in your dreams so I switched off the fan to wake you up. I asked what I talked in sleep ? He said it was not clear. I woke up from bed and did another reality check. multiple reality checks to make sure that I am not dreaming anymore. Now typing this. Ok.... thats all.... Ah... one doubt. Is this a single lucid dream or multiple one ? EDIT: I ate about ten wild cashew apple fruit before going to sleep. Depending on local customs, its juice is also processed and distilled into liquor or consumed diluted and sugared as a refreshing drink. In India, the cashew apple is the source of juicy pulp used to prepare fenny, a locally popular distilled liquor.[/b]

Wow, pretty amazing. Is the cashew fruit supposed to affect your dreams, or was that just a coincidence?

The cashew apple helped me to have vivid dreams I think. Always my lucid dreams are started with false awakening. FAILD -> False Awakening Initiated lucid dreaming. After understanding the fact that I have multiple false awakening, I refined my RC method. I started doing my reality checks each time wake up from sleep. This helped me a lot. Lucid dreams almost everynight. 5 times a week. But my lucid dreams are not vivid or I cant feel everything. It means all of my senses are not working except Sight and Sound. May be I need more training. I think the cashew fruit helped here.

wow, that's alot of lucid dreaming activity in one night its an excellent idea to do RCs every time you awake, especially for you from the sounds of it. glad its giving you lots of lucids. i too find that usually it is only my sight and sound that is active in lucids. i've come to realize that is because those are the only two senses that are used alot in waking life, so it really shouldn't come as a surprise to me. i've made a conscious effort to pay more attention to the other senses while awake, especially touch, and have found they are getting more vivid in my lucids. i've heard of something to try while LDing that sounds like a good idea (though i've never remembered to try it while lucid). call out each sense individually, and activate it as much as possible. start with the strongest ones. for example, yell out "SIGHT!" and look very closely at your hands, until you can see every detail, then survey your surroundings. then yell out "SOUND!" and listen for any sounds. if there are none, speak or sing to yourself. then "TOUCH" and rub your hands together until you feel the burning sensation, touch the ground, the walls, water, anything that is near....etc, etc. happy dreaming
