Example Of How Deep/amazing Lds Can Be

i've been on a dry spell for about a few years now - maybe once a month but passively - stress, etc., but now i'm back into my love of LDs. The following is the most amazing thing i felt while in a lucid dream a few years ago... :meditate:

there was a time when i would have a bunch of dreams with water - usually this was my dream sign - eventually - and that if i could breath underwater that i was asleep - at this time my lucidity was amazing - especially the fact that i 'proved' - in a way that we dream with others who we see everyday - or people across the globe - i could also at times feel my body in bed and my breathing while in open area and standing within a dream scene.

Some of you who have had practice with meditation might be absolutely astonded by this - or if you have practiced deep breathing to calm down. - In the middle of the dream underwater - where i could breath and in real life i have to plug my nose, but in my dreams breathing underwater is my ultimate escape among other things. But in this dream i was breathing underwater - but i was also feeling my body in bed at the same time - while breathing i remembered that the body slows down alot while asleep (breathing, heartbeat, etc.) but HERE's THE AMAZING PART:

i almost scared myself because my body i felt in bed was still on one cycle after what seemed eternity (either breathing in or out - even both) my body was breathing so slow i thought i was dying - i didn't think that was normal - but at the same time it was like no other mindless state or relaxing state or anything i've ever felt before - it was the most peaceful thing i had ever felt. it was as if it took about 15seconds for each in or out breath! that's how peaceful and relaxed i was :eek:

P.S.
by no means is this to discourage you that you haven't reached this state yet - but that it can only get better and that anything is possible :D

That sounds fantastic! :D And it's quite inspirational as well. Thanks for sharing that 8)

Have you ever listened to somone sleep? They breath in for like 8 seconds then breath out for like 8 more. Its really slow. also you could have just been dreaming you were awake, this happens to people so much they dont even realise it. Usually you dont remember.

:(

I was thinking i was going to get to read a deep long Lucid dream with a really good storyline or something :P

but what you did is pretty cool too i guess

Yeah,

That's amazing! One thing I need to really practice is my relaxation and breathing techniques!

When I get into deep relaxation, I take a moderate breath about once a minute. I had someone time me once, and I went for one minute and fifty seconds between a complete exhalation and the next inhalation! Strangely enough, though I really needed to breathe in at that point, I wasn't panting afterwards. I was still completely relaxed and breathing normaly.

I love breathing under water in my dreams, but I never catch it as a dream sign! I find my self breathing the water and I think "Aha! I can breathe under water!" It's surprisingly tranquil and refreshing. Of course, that's the same thing people say about actually drowning...
