Thread: Finally...i'm Lucid Dreaming Again.

I finally had a lucid dream again this morning!!!

I briefly woke up (my wife was trying to get me to get up but I told her I needed 20 more minutes.)

I went back to sleep but in my dream I got up. I noticed I was dreaming when looking in the bathroom mirror -my glasses were all bent up and my eyes looked funny.

I excitedly did some of my favorite reality tests - putting the fingers of my left hand through the palm of my right - and then some experiments looking at a newspaper advertisement, trying to memorize/understand the words. The words would do crazy things; first of all, they weren't really in english or any language, and they would turn upside down or backwards.

I tried walking through my screen door to the porch but somewhere along the line, normal reality caught up to me and I wasn't able ot move through it. For fear of ripping it, I stopped and decided to teleport outside instead. So I sat down and closed my eyes, hoping that when I opened them I'd be on the porch. Instead I was on my bed, almost as if I had actually woken up in real life, but this was a false wakening too.

Anyhow, I am SO THRILLED to WAKE UP in my dreams again. 5 years ago I was having lucid dreams on a steady basis....not even every week but at least once or twice a month, and was able to do crazy things like float around and notice how I feel my sleeping body as well as my dreaming body, etc.

One thing I did do last night was use my Sirius Sound and Light Machine to help me fall asleep, all the while trying to affirm to myself that I would have a lucid dream. I also have begun to write down "lucid dream affirmations" AKA things like "I always wake up in my dreams" and "I have lucid dreams everynight." I don't know if there's a relationship here b/t these things and having a LD finally, once again, but you can be sure I'll continue to do them.

I'm confident 2007 will bring me the craziest, most intense LD experiences of my life thus far.
