anyone had to be tested before???
Hi! I’m new here so please bear with me while i try to explain my situation.
so i'm 19 years old and i have been influencing dreams for as long as i can remember. I think its because me and my family have this thing where the first thing we’d do every morning when we woke up would be to tell each other our dreams and then look up the meanings in my mums dream interpretation book – so i’ve been remembering my dreams for ever!
flying is my thing, even though i wouldn’t been fully lucid i would just start flying cuz i knew i could. looking back now i have been influencing my dreams a lot like when i was having a nightmare i would make it stop, or if i was in my dream and i really wanted something to happen but the dream was leading somewhere else i’d be like ‘hey, wait a sec I’m not finished!’
In the last couple of years i started having lucid dreams but i would get so excited i woke up immediately - like as soon as i realised it everything would go really bright and it felt like i was being pulled away. so i started researching it and found a podcast of this lady who was able to fully pre-program her dreams so she could do whatever she wanted and i got so excited so i have been sort of praticisng for a while with some success. my problem is that when i become lucid i sort of fall back asleep again or have false awakenings where i think ive woken up and am telling everyone about having a lucid dream LOL!
The other thing she said in the podcast was that she spoke directly to her subconsciousness. So i decided if i became lucid i’d try that too. Then i had my first lucid dream where i didn’t wake up straight away, and i was in the middle of a big navy battle and there were gunships and people shooting and stuff and i was trying to swim to my rescue boat (i always have hollywood action style dreams like that!) and then i became lucid and i’m treading water in my dream thinking ‘ okay, i want to talk to my subconsciousness’.
So this staircase appears in the middle of the water and this lady is standing there and i told her to take me to my subconsciousness so i can speak to it. And she says “are you sure you’re ready to take the necessary steps to do this?” and i say “yea i am. its just like anything else you want to achieve, you have to really want it” (what the??? I didn’t really have that much control) and then i have a false awakening and i’m going around telling everyone that i had a lucid dream. Then this red dragon appears and in my dream he was my best friend (you know how you just know things in your dreams right) so i’m wondering whether or not to tell him i had a lucid dream. So i do tell him, and he goes totally Confucius on me and says “What you think you can do is like when you think you can break through a wall, only to find out its a bulwark” (seriously, he said bulwark). But i totally understood what he meant – he was trying to say that i think i can do it but its harder than i think. (do what though? Lucid dreaming?)
So that was last year. I decided that the next time I became lucid I wanted to talk to the dragon man again cuz i wanted to ask him what he meant. Then, a couple of days ago i have my first really controlled dream. I became lucid and I turned to the nearest person in my dream and i said “I want to talk to the dragon man”. And the dream character was really obnoxious pretending he didn’t know what i was talking about, but i was persistent and i said “I know i’m dreaming. I want to speak to the dragon man. Tell him I’m ready to take the necessary steps!”
so eventually he lead me to this office room and told me to go through– it looked like a reception room and it had a picture of a dragon on the wall, and this lady was sitting there and she told me that i had to take the test and she took this container off her desk and started sorting through it mumbling all this crap while she was looking at me and i said “hand on a sec, can you write that down for me?” (because when i read stuff in dreams its easier for me to remember what it said, and i really wanted to remember every detail of this dream when i woke up) so this guy appeared and started writing things down for me but he was using his left hand. And i said “what you’re left handed, what is this place?” and he started running his had through this stream of sand that was pouring out of one of the walls and he said something really ambiguous like “how do we know what anything is?” and i said “well this is my dream right? But who decided that you’d be left-handed?” i just started laughing because i was so excited that i finally had another lucid dream and i managed to stay in it.
meanwhile the lady had put the test on a table near a window and i was just leaning on the table looking out the window waiting for it to be finished and we started talking about my other lucid dreams i had and the lady and the man started laughing and i said “yea i’m way more in control than last time” and it was all just this big joke at how crap i had been at controlling my lucidity before. So then i said “oh, i meant to ask you, do you know what the time is in the real world” (because i had decided that when i became lucid i would try and see if i could find out) and the guy said “ofcourse. Its our job to know. And on the wall there was this really weird clock which i couldn’t read too well, the only thing i could remember was 11.30 so i just guessed that must be the time. And then i could feel myself being pulled away from the dream (i was waking up) and i said “hang on, what about the test? Is it tiger mountain? (thats the only thing i remember seeing him write down when i asked him to write down what they were doing – but i cant remember if its tiger mountain or tiger moth but something like that). But anyway i woke up and i never got my answer, and i haven’t had a lucid dream since so i can ask what the hell was that all about.
Just wanted to know what you guys think?
