Thread: Fifth LD...getting better at changing scenery

Fifth Lucid Dream

This makes LDs two nights in a row. Pretty cool.

I went to bed at around 11:00 and got up at 5:45. I wasn't planning on going back sleep, but at 7:45 or so I laid down again for a little power nap. And I had this dream.

It started as a non-lucid dream. I was driving up a hill in my car. I was looking for a graveyard. (I have a friend in Rhode Island who I have been doing some research with involving graveyards in RI. And this had to do with that research.)

As I was driving I suddenly thought, "Wait a minute--how is it that I am actually in RI ????"

At that point I realized that I was in a dream, and that I was now lucid. I remember thinking "Hey, this is getting easier. It doesn't take much to get me lucid these days". I looked down at my arms and hands holding the steering wheel and noticed I was wearing my red long sleeved shirt.

In all my past LDs, as soon as I find I am lucid I take off flying. But I was in a car this time driving down the road. I was actually curious about what I would do.

I decided to focus on the windshield with the intent to change the scenery outside. The road in front of me become fuzzy and then changed to clouds and sky. I was proud of myself.

I now needed to get out of the car (for some reason opening the door didn't come to mind). I wanted to make the car around me disappear. I focused again on the windshield and made the windshield disappear. That was good enough for me as I now flew straight out into the sky. I noticed it was strange that I couldn't feel the wind or the coolness of the air like in my first two LDs (That's something I have to work on. Flying isn't the same without the wind in your face).

The thought now hits me that it is not the middle of the night for my sleeping self, but somewhere near 8:00. I was afraid someone would disturb me and I would wake up, and I wasn't ready to wake up.

I knew I needed to hurry. I decided that since this dream was originally about finding a graveyard, I wanted to fly to a certain graveyard in RI (EX022). I knew from my first LD that I couldn't fly the traditional way or I would never make it in time. In fact I didn't even know where I was at the moment. I would have to instantly make myself appear there. So I concentrated once more on the sky ahead of me and tried to make it appear as Exeter, Rhode Island. It started to get fuzzy and change.

Then I woke up.

I am never ready for these dreams to end.


This dreams gets me excited in several ways.

First, it is the second lucid dream in two nights.

Second, I didn't have to have one of my traditional dreams signs to get me lucid. It happened without a lot of thought.

Third, I was able to remember my goal of trying to learn how to change scenery.

Fourth, I was actually able to do some scenery change. I'm hoping that with practice I can master it. I am getting better, and more confident with this ability.

Now, my next goal : making people appear. My LDs are lonely.

Agh! I'm envious of you! Getting lucid dreams 2 nights in a row! And doing so much stuff...
Awesome stuff! Keep on having the good times.

Hey, thanks Feynaro.

I was hoping for three in a row, but didn't pull that one off. Instead I non-lucidly helped Walt Disney build a 60 foot giraffe out of uncooked spaghetti noodles....LOL. But sometimes you have to appreciate those because that is something I would never gotten to do if I were lucid.

I read your May 5th LD. That sounds like a cool/involved/neat LD....with flying and FAs and all. So it sounds like you are getting to have a bit of fun too.

So good luck and I hope you have two in a row soon!
