My most detailed Lucid Dream yet.....

[Mystical_Journey]

Just had this incredible Lucid Experience, as I woke up this morning. It was like living inside a film and being the main character in the narrative!. I’ve never been aware of myself and my surroundings in such an abundance of detail. It was Fantastic! Hope you guys don’t mind reading it Walking around with friends and family planning going on a camping trip……it was your usual dream, nothing that really makes you aware that your dreaming, everything seemed to make sense. Two friends from work began to run together in a sort of friendly race they started running at this super speed, like superheroes!!!! As they finished they lay on the embankment of grass. I went back to my family, I recall seeing this girl I remembered sitting on a bench, she was very shy and used to like her when I was young, a strict religious family I recall, she said “I don’t like you” but I replied “I respect your truthfulness”. The entire detail before the lucid event is difficult to recall as i became more lost within the dream, remember walking into this house and exploring the rooms. One room there was this puppy, I started to stroke the dog and then became aware of everything around me. After this I started to walk down this dimly lit street, with tree’s, buildings, paths, lighting fixtures that shined onto the ground. Walking around, noticing nobody was there enjoying just walking, getting a little impatient with my pace I began to speed up, noticing more detail. Brushing my hand against a brick wall felt wonderful, as my senses felt alive all tingling with sensation after the event of touching the bricks (I recall thinking how real this felt) started to sing The Beatles in my mind, while briskly walking. Then suddenly, I became aware of this old women who was walking up the street on the opposite road. She was an old looking women, with an hunched back, around 80 or so, she looked Italian in her appearance. Knowing this was a lucid experience I become excited that I contained my surrounds for such along time (felt like forever) I walked over the road and asked her “What’s it like to be a character in someone else’s dream”? She wouldn’t look me in the eyes, looking away from me towards the floor she said “Be careful, its easy to lose yourself in dreams, I lost my daughter to dreaming, its sometimes hard to find your way out without being trapped and not being able to wake up”. When she said this I didn’t feel like it was a nightmare as such, only that I wanted to wake up, I did, but woke up in another dream, without the awareness it was a dream. I started to write the details in my Dream Journal, down to the last point, thinking I was awake, but then suddenly I really awoke and realised it was all a dream. And couldn’t remember all the detail I had wrote down (lol) It might not sound like much in writing, but its difficult to convey the experience in writing.

Wow, what an awesome experience. Good for you! That's a shame about the dream jornal, though. I've had similar experiences with music. I would be in a dream playing the most beautiful piece of music, just to forget how it went when I wake up. About this, though When she said this I didn’t feel like it was a nightmare as such, only that I wanted to wake up[/b] You say you just wanted to wake up, but that comment of hers had to scare you just a little bit, no? That is something that makes me wonder as well, do dreamers feel fear in lucid dreams? If you know you're dreaming and can't be harmed, why would we feel fear? Also, not having to fear anything, wouldn't that take away some of the excitement of dreaming? I'm hoping to figure most of this out the next few times I LD, but at this rate (only had two), I may as well get some views from more experienced dreamers.

Fear is a hard concept to overcome in both waking reality and dream reality, the fear of the unknown situations etc Once you master fear, everything will seem more clear, but being the person i am, i wish i could say "The only thing to fear is fear itself", that in reality is difficult to overcome. In response to fear during what the old women said, i don’t find i experience much fear during my Lucid Dreams, not as much in the so called real world, i feel i have more power in my Lucid Dreams, able to see things objectively without fear clouding my judgment, I feel at peace. Wish I could control my fear in reality.
