I just woke up from the 5th LD I’ve had since I started my quest for lucidity. Until now my LDs were very blurry and lasted only a few seconds but this time it was 100% like reality (I mean it), I was so excited! I’ve been there aproximately 20-30 minutes.
It all starts with a ND in which I was in my old house (before I moved to another city) with my girlfriend laying on my bed watching some videos on my computer and since I always do RC when I wake up and I am on a bed the idea pops-up. When I perfom the RC I realize I am dreaming and I achieve lucidity. I feel very excited and the dream starts to fade away. I calm myself and try to take things slowly and I get to recover my senses’ strength.
I spent like 10 long minutes watching and touching everything in my room really fascinated (really really fascinated) and when I look at my girlfriend she’s “What the fuck are you doing?” so I just burst into laughter (laughing in a dream feels so good ) and answer her “I am LD!!”. She looks uninterested and tries to convince me to go by her side and just let the ND flow with her (maybe this is a part of my subconscious trying to stop me from LD?).
After that I leave the room and explore a bit more of my old house. I talk with some other DCs and I try to convince them to perform reality checks themselves. One of them, an old friend of mine, RCs and discovers that he’s in a lucid dream too so I ask my self if I could just have gaved him a LD in his sleep. Discussing it with my girlfriend (who is by my side now) I remember that he’s probably a part of my subconscient so that is not possible (I am gonna ask him today anyway haha).
After a while I get a bit bored so I try to fly inside the house but I only get to hurt myself. I can’t stand staying closed in my home anymore so I go to my room to change my clothes in order to leave the house and when I enter the lights go out (I don’t know how to say it properly what I mean is the house suddenly has no electricity) and the room becomes pitched black. I remember thinking that maybe the dream could make a terryfing twist there but in a few seconds the light comes again and I forget that idea. Next thing I am planning what will I do outside. When I have it all figured out I see my sleeping body in the room’s bed. I see I have one arm in an uncomfortable position and suddenly my dream body’s arm starts to feel numb (what could this be?). I realize the best thing to do is hold my sleeping body’s hand and switch it to a good position. The moment I touch that hand my sleeping body wakes up really quickly and holds me with all his strenght and looks me right at my eyes with a really desperate face yelling NO!! NOO!! DON’T LET ME GO!! I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE THE LD!! I woke up instantly. It was pretty scaring haha.
how do you interpret this ending? why couldn’t I fly? I desisted the third time because I felt I was hurting my legs.
Ok, from my opinion I have a theory that’s a BIG MAYBE: MAYBE you witnessed a theory that OBE’s are just what dreams are only in higher level of consciousness. So when you had all figure it out and when lights turned on again you saw your body and you saw your arm in bad position and you start to feel that on your dream body. - that’s the long shot theory.
Another one could be that this was all part of the same dream in which you just saw your body as another DC…
Why you couldn’t fly? Many reasons could prevent you from flying, the most common and reason is the one that you don’t have enough experience inside the dream and maybe there was some kind of doubt about flying, maybe not before first try but maybe after second and after pain. It could easily be a distraction as was DC of you girlfriend that ask you to join here and continue with NLD…
Don’t know for sure but I hope this helps a little bit, good luck!
Today I had another LD and I managed to fly! however, it also had a bad twist at the end: I lost my power to fly and fell into the sea. When I looked underwater it was full of sharks and as I tried very hard to fly again to escape a killer whale swallowed me xD
Yeah, that definately was like an OBE but why did he jump on me and hold me desperately? Anyone else has tried to touch he’s sleeping body in an OBE?
