Hello everybody!
Last night I believe I had a sort of pre-lucid dream. I was with a group of people, of which I was able to identify only a friend from real life. A male person was sort of initiating me into the fact that my body (and I believe the others’ too) was not my real body, as I learned or came to know that my normal body was back home lying in bed.
The dream context was at night, in a park not far from home, a familiar place from my younger years. I recall other fragments from a dream before this one, but the sort of awareness happened in this specific context. I was very enthusiastic about experimenting with this VR-like body that felt very real. There was a perception of two glitches in this body, but except for those, it felt alive, maybe a little lighter.
The emotions were high, I even tried to kiss the person near me a few times, but he kept avoiding my attempts. I remember reclining onto him on the bench we were sitting on and he said to me that I ‘must anchor myself well’, referring to this body.
I also remember asking myself how I was able to drive my car to the park using this body, wondering how I would press buttons and interact with things. Another moment of awareness was when I breathed and was amazed at how real the air felt in and out.
Then I woke up, with a pleasant, exhilarating feeling left over. I remembered I had a short lucid dream once, years ago, where I found myself in Paris and realized that this was not real, and had the awareness I was in a dream but woke up shortly after beginning to ask myself how do i get to return to my normal body.
How can I leverage last night’s dream? Do you think it is a sign to explore deeper lucid dreaming? I believe I can find out more about myself through this, and that’s why today I ended up checking out the website and forum. Any advice from advanced dreamers will be well received. Thank you!
