Getting objective information while in LD - my (maybe) experience

Hi all!

I have LD about twice a month almost since when I was a kid. I do not try to induce them any way - I just enjoy that they come as a surprise :)

I also started interesting about OBEs (out-of-body experiences) and I am reading a Robert Monroe book about "Journeys out of the body". I find really exciting how he tries to prove himself and others that OBEs are real and that he is seeing the real physical world while in OBE.

I haven 't had OBEs.

I also am active member in some message board where people talk about various paranormal, metaphysical, esoteric things. There are also lots of skeptical people. I myself although believe that OBEs are real, but I am a bit skeptical, how much useful data can I get from it. One person told that he would believe if someone who has not been in his home before could describe something in details, like a pattern of a wallpaper in his room.

And now comes the most surprising part. Last night I had a LD. Suddenly I remembered the conversation with that skeptical person and then just out of a curiosity (I did not believe myself that it'll be useful) I made a strong wish "I want to know any useful information about that person". AT that moment my LD changed. The previous scene vanished and now I saw a big wall with a wallpaper. At first wallpaper was blurry and had some vertical stripes on it. I started concentrating on the pattern and then I saw some popcorn-like orange flower with some horizontal stripe as a peduncle.

Next I saw some 20-30 old person in a open blazer and a t-shirt under it, t-shirt was dark colored and had white big letters on it. Somehow I thought it is dark red, and thought that it has something to do with some sports event.

Next the scene moved a bit away but I saw nothing certain, only one thought came to me - something negative with the father, conflict or something like that.

Next came various scenes but they are not meaningful - although I was just an observer and seemed disconnected from what I saw.

Next I had a false awakening - and told everyone what a dream I had :D

And finally when I woke up, I went to PC and told all the details form my dream, I tried to filter away my subjective impressions, and I did not tell the name of the person which I was dreaming of. I just told - if someone sees some pattern in those details, then please respond.

And he did. Three details matched .. almost. He really had a wallpaper with abstract flower-like pattern with orange flowers and some blue elements (missing blue in my dream). He recently had bought a black (not dark red) T-shirt with light letters - white and gray, and he really had some conflicts with his father.

Of course, we both are still skeptical about the results - there are many people who have t-shirts with white letters, orange-flowered wallpapers and conflicts with fathers. But I also cannot ignore it and say that it is 100% nothing. So next time I'll try again, think about some certain details not just "some information" and we'll see where it goes :)

I am really curious, has anyone tried something similar, and what are the results?

Wow, that is weird. You gotta admit that is a little trippy :D

Its hard to tell from your post, was the person that responded the same skeptic that you were thinking about in the dream? If so, then this is a little significant; if not, then it is not at all significant since someone is bound to approximately fit the description you gave.

Yes, the person was exactly the same I was thinking about in my dream. I just did not tell that on that forum, but he guessed that it is related to him (although there were some other skeptic people, too).

I tried to get more information in my next lucid dream, but that was audio information - and this time I failed :D But at least now I know that I can trust visual information more than audio.

Hm... that is pretty interesting. It's kind of like my dream where I was watching World War Two documentaries. Your dream was more informative, since you actually got something out of it.
