in lucid dreams do any of you try to travel back in time to any part of your childhood? ive always wanted to do it, but it seems like a tough task since those memories are buried pretty deep
yea, people (I have heard) say it’s a strange/exciting experience going back and talking to yourself when you were younger in a LD.
yes I have:
During one of my lucid dreams I decided to do an experiment about retrieving lost memories. I don’t know why but, I thought of this experiment and decided to combine the two.
[i]I was walking through the woods, absorbed in the sounds of wild life around me. I stopped for a moment. “Something is not right”, I said to my self. “This is a dream.”
I then became fully lucid and remembered that I wanted to try to recover lost memories from childhood. “I need an elevator”, I said aloud. Nothing happened.
I jumped into the air and started to fly out of the forest until I came to a clearing where I saw a strange stone structure. I decided to investigate. I landed in front of the structure. It was a huge stone pillar with a door at the base. Only it was not a normal door. It was an elevator door. I went to push the button to open the doors only, there was no button to push. “Let me in”, I yelled. The doors opened at my command. I stepped inside and the doors closed behind me. Instead of the usual control panel you would expect to see in an elevator, buttons that take you to various floors, the buttons on this panel had ages. I pushed the one that said age 4. The doors opened into a bedroom that I vaguely remembered from childhood. I saw a hand made toy chest that my grandfather made for me. I decided look around more and try to find myself but, something on the bed caught my attention. I moved in to take a closer look. It was a skunk! (Dream ended) [/i]
Here is the thread I posted it in.
It seems that hypermnesia is rather common in such states (for instance, hypnosis and hypnagogic states). I’ve had a LD in which I’ve (perhaps) recalled sensations when I was in my cradle.
I remember that I wish to meet my anima . I shout my intention to meet her. I suddenly find myself lying on the back, like a tortoise! I just can move my feet and my hands. I can’t see anything on the left and on the right, as if I were in small hole. I have the feeling to have on my feet socks that are carefully withdrawn. After a short while, a red-headed woman appears in my field of vision. She speaks an incomprehensible gibberish. Her face is fuzzy, it is sometimes female and beautiful, sometimes male and rather ugly. I ask her a question which I had envisaged to ask, that’s namely which energy configuration she represents. But she continues to speak an unknown language. However, her continual transformations leave me astonished. Then she disappears from my field of vision. She seems to speak to other people that I do not see. I try to turn my head to bring her back it in my field of vision, but I can’t.

Nice dream Basilus!
Milod, I’m still waiting for you to start that experiment
maybe i’ll incubate a dream on it using the museum of lost memories
