Two quick flights

[oneironeer]

FINALLY I achieved lucidity last night, this time in a fully formed environment, while I was active and very much aware. Two nights ago I created an hour long mp3 of silence, followed by a half hour of Theta and Beta binuaral beats, with a slowed down, quiet sample of the NIGHTMARE ON ELMSTREET theme, since it triggered my last lucid dream. Unfortunately, it just woke me up at the start of the beats. So I researched Isochronic Tones (similar theory), and "ramped down" from the higher brain frequencies you'd be having while first laying down at night, and slowly reducing them to a dream-state brain frequency. I also had the file on loop, which means when it brought me all the way down, it then jumped back to the relaxed but active brain frequencies of lower Beta. I had an apple, apple juice, and played a maze game, just before bed. As well, I quickly journaled the day's highlights. I also had a melatonin. TWO QUICK FLIGHTS I dreamed that I was in my apartment, and my boss was there making sure I was doing some extra work from home. A friend of mine came over, and my boss left. I remember thinking, "I hope they don't think I'm just gonna slack off now and that's why they left." I told my friend I'd be right with him, and when I came back, he had turned all the lights out and left. Again I was confused, "What the heck? I was gone for a few seconds!" As I walked across the apartment in the dark, I felt a tinge of fear. When I opened my apartment door, the rush of wind and vivid and colorful night, plus the peppy older lady outside my door, all converged upon my brain to form the instant realization (no Reality Check required), "This is a dream." The lady was VERY chatty and annoying. I extended my hand for her to hold it, she graciously did, and I spun her and threw her into the night sky, screaming as she flew! The full moon was out, and the sky shown with a dark blue hue. Bushes and trees were a gorgeous green against the blacks and dark blues. I started walking in the direction I tossed the lady (though she went well into the horizon), and thought, "Okay, let's do this." I lifted off the ground, but started floating back down. "Uh uh, that ain't happening." I jumped and started flying a good 15 feet or so into the air. It was very breezy, and the wind threatened to push me back down. I approached a busy street, with trucks and cars driving by. On the other side was a mansion side, stone balcony, where mostly women were having some kind of dinner party. They were a good 10 feet higher up than I was flying, and I worried, "I need to get higher, or a semi my drive by and hit me." At that the wind pushed down on me, and gravity was pulling, but I fought it. I didn't want to lose control of the dream, but it got harder to hold on, and I shuddered... I woke up and my wife had just adjusted her position in bed, probably having awaken me. I got up, recorded the dream, and was WIDE awake. I took a melatonin and went back to bed, not remembering any more of my dreams from last night.

Great job! I just love flying, the best thing to do in lucid dreams! Keep us posted for more!

It was nice to fly again, it's been a LONG time. Though I gotta admit, the most amusing thing for me the next day was imagining politely taking someone by the hand and flinging them into the sky, lol.

I flew on top of my bed (My bedroom setting dream for the first time...) but it was only for 5 second, and was about 3 feet -.-. It wasn't because i wanted too either, all i remember was i was in lucid state and was flying < idk how it happened O.o

Yeah, my last lucid dream, I did a reality check to realize I was dreaming, but for this one, I just instantly knew, which was fine, but I'm not sure what the trigger was, so I don't know how to or if I can recreate the scenario. Gah! Bedpost is better than my last two recent lucid dreams, the first was just awareness amidst a swirling black haze and the second one I was stuck in my bed.
