My Lucid Afterlife

[Robot_Butler]

I was at a party at a house that seemed strangely familiar. I was talking to a man who was explaining that when we die, our spirit is sent to a dream world for 300 years. At the end of the 300 years, we die in the dream world, and are reborn to the 'real' world again. The man was very excited, because he was at the end of his 300 years, and was about to be reborn. I knew this was a dream. I was totally lucid. The problem was, I believed 100% that dreams were where we went when we died. Using this confused logic, I believed that I was in the afterlife. My own personal dream heaven. It was night time, and I was in a beautiful beach house with its own private beach. Looking out across the water, I could see the lights of several other beach houses on the other side of the cove. Each beach house was reserved for a group of friends. Everyone who knew each other during their lifetime was sent to a beach house. In this way, your afterlife was only populated by the people you had met and loved during your life. There was a huge party going on, and I had memories of this party going on for dozens of years. All of my friends were there. Occasionally I would see a friend that just arrived at the party. I would feel sadness that this friend just died in the waking world. At the same time I felt joy that they we were now reunited in the afterlife. There were thousands of people at this party. Everyone I've ever been friends with. I was completely lucid. At one point, I decided that since it was a dream, I should just do whatever I wanted. I took off all my clothes, and was walking around naked. I reasoned, Who needs clothes when you're dead?. There was a room in the house that had a floor covered in a giant trampoline. Me and my buddy were jumping on this trampoline, when I remembered that we were naked. I looked at him and said, "You know, if this wasn't a dream, and we were alive, this would be real gay. Two naked dudes jumping on a trampoline?" We laughed as more people joined us. I saw a girl I used to know, and felt incredibly sad that she was dead now too. I gave her my condolences for being dead, but told her how great this was that we could now be together again. She seemed very sad, and had tears in her eyes. "This is my dream," I said. "We can do whatever we want. We can go wherever we want. I'm so glad you're finally here." I morphed the scene around us to the top deck of a cruise ship, then to the streets of Paris, then the jungles of South America. She started to cry, and told me, "You act like I just got here. I have been at this party for 100 years, and you have ignored me the whole time. Its too late to make up for lost time now. You had your chance." I later walked into a bar area of the house, and saw my girlfriend. I hadn't seen her since I died, and she looked so beautiful. I was so happy that we could now be together. A sleazy looking man was hitting on her at the bar. I walked up to send the guy away politely. I had so much catching up to do. As I went to put my arm around her, I noticed that the two of them were holding hands. I started yelling at the guy for hitting on my girlfriend. He tried to punch me, and it escalated into a full scale fight. I destroyed him completely with my god-like dream powers. In the fighting, I accidentally injured my girlfriend. She was dying. As I went to heal her, she had the most horrible look on her face. She was furious with me. As she was dying, she told me that that man was her husband. When I died and left her in the waking world, they met and were married. Before she could finish her story, she died in my arms. I knew I could not bring her back to life. I carried her outside to the beach. Her body looked like it was scaled in jewels, and she had wings made of gold leaf. As I walked along the beach, she started to disintegrate. Flecks of gold and jewels started lifting off her body, where they rose into the night sky and became stars. By the time I got to the water, all that was left of her was a handful of gemstones that were filled with liquid like batteries. I laid these stones on the sand, and with a wave of my hand I lit the entire beach on fire. Green flames spread to cover the sand and fuse it to glass. As the gemstones were consumed by the flames, they exploded one by one into clouds of multicolored light. I knew she would be reborn into a new life.

Wow. That was probably the most incredible dream, lucid or not, I've ever read.

[Innercynic]

Wow i think everyone should take the time to read that dream, very well written. Moving Very cool dream.

[Twoshadows]

What an amazing dream. It sounds so...deep. I have never had a lucid dream like that. and I had memories of this party going on for dozens of years. That's intersting. Did you actually feel like you had been there a long time...or just realize that you had those memories? And what a sad, yet fascinating end with your girlfriend.

I'm glad you guys read it. I knew it was crazy long when I posted it, and didn't think many people would be interested enough to read the whole thing. T.S., I had a head full of false memories. I felt completely lucid, could think clearly and act of my own free will, but I was totally convinced that I was dead. It seemed like the dream covered 100 years or more. I could remember specific things that happened years ago. For example, I saw my friend in the living room and remembered exactly when he joined me at the party. He stood out because he is very religious (Muslim) and I was surprised that we would share the same afterlife. I'm not saying time was dialated to cover 100 years. I think my brain just created the memories I needed as soon as I needed them. The main events in the dream did not seem to happen one directly after another. I did not get off the naked trampoline and immediately go kill my girlfriend. In the dream, it seemed like years and years between them. Like a 2 hour movie about someone's 60 year long life. The feeling of a long time without the inbetween stuff. What freaks me out, is how much I remember from this one dream. There was a lot I left out that I remember clear as yesterday. There was a whole scene with visiting a temple next door where the priests performed rituals to bring people's spirits back to life. A food fight in a cafeteria. Surfing in the cove with my old roommates. A hot threesome in a loft. My fight with my girlfriend's husband lasted a good 5-10 minutes just by itself. I guess sometimes you just get lucky. If only we could remember all dreams this clearly.

Wow... that sounded like a Romantic Novel summary. You have one amazing imagination, to be able to have a dream like that. There's so much detail... and the story actually seems credible for a real book or movie. Did it take up the whole night?

If there was an option to "fave" dreams, this would be my favorite one. It is unexplainably awesome. Usually faulty logic happens and creates lulz, here it led to something deeper. I love the messages that came from your dream. It also makes you question the reality we live in. Is it possible that the entire world came into existence today, and that we all have false memories? I have so many other ideas that I cannot begin to express about this. This could be made into a short story. And though I am not a writer, I have half a mind to do so. what a cool dream. I want one

[NightLife]

That dream is flawless and that's incredible... Honestly, that sounds like it would be an unbelievable ending to a book... When I read this I felt as though I was reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven because everything in the dream sounded like it was connected... I would be naked jumping on a trampoline also... Hehe...

[HolySnap95]

Wow! That was... Beautiful! I've had such a horrid day, but that dream was so awesome. Honestly, it makes perfect sense to me. You know, the whole "You are sent to a dream world for 300 years, the reborn to the real world once again" I Hope it is that way, because it just seems logical... Some what.. To me. Very nice.

[thisismylogin]

That is the most amazing dream I have ever heard...

[dorpis]

That was a great dream. It makes me want to have a dream like that.

[mikestankus]

wordd that was an awesome dream. I want someone to make it into a movie.

[Robot_Butler]

I don't know about a movie, but I'll definitely post the artwork when I'm finished with it. Been way too busy to dream at all lately. So much positive feedback, this is inspiring me to post a dream journal.

[mikestankus]

Hah yeah maybe a movie was too far, but you do have a way with wording dreams. Pleaseeee let me know when you start your dream journal, I hope I can borrow a few techniques cheers!

[urdreamboy]

Dude, you should make a book out of this. That was a ____ dream! Can't think of a word better then GREAT to fill in that line... I'm sure it must have been really sad at the same time, sorry for that. How long was you sleeping for when you had this dream??

[Robot_Butler]

Hah yeah maybe a movie was too far, but you do have a way with wording dreams. Pleaseeee let me know when you start your dream journal, I hope I can borrow a few techniques cheers! I finally put up a dream journal. Its got a sketch from this dream too! http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...622#post732622 How long was you sleeping for when you had this dream?? It was a long ass dream. Im sure it lasted an hour or more. I was not sleeping well all week because my girlfriend was sick and very noisy. I think I had some REM rebound. I seem to get that a lot. I land in these hour long REM periods quite often.
