As a young person, I always had some control over my dreams.
The minuite I realised it was a dream, I would make the rules. Telekenisis, control of matter, and lots of other fancy powers.
Too much control over the years made dreaming quite repetative. Bit like a kid in a candy store.
Then I gave in, and tried to avoid controlling the dreams, so I could once again be surprised by the outcome.
After joining this forum, and reading dozens of topics, another method of dream lucidity has shown itself.
I lay down, and relax myself, then wait for a while.
When random thoughts disappear, and I start to feel drowsy, I roll onto my side.
I do not actuall move, but try to move my dream body ( Only name I can think of to call it )
I am then asleep, but FULLY concious.
I did not fall asleep.
I did not try to control the dream.
I simply went from being awake to being lucid.
Now I have only managed this three times in seventeen days, but each time the experience is amazing.
Characters in dreams are very real, and often ask me questions.
They can be frightened by me suddenly appearing, but settle down, once I show no hostile intentions.
Surfaces have texture that I can touch, much clearer than normal dreams.
Sight is often diffult, or slightly blurred
All previous abilities have gone, and replaced with just a few. One is the ability to pass through solid objects.
Another is to fly, but more like float at will.
When I decide to wake, I open my eyes, and am wide awake. No gentle transfer, but a sudden change of reality back to this world.
My body aches like when sitting in the same posisition for a long time, and I then need to sleep properly.
I am taking this new experience slowly, like a child with a new toy
I would love to know if anyone has had similar experiences, or can offer some guidance.
Even links to other threads would be helpful.
Cheers,
Phil
