My Most Interesting LD

[hitsfmdj]

Since I was a little kid I have been Interested in Lucid dreaming. By the age of 15 I was doing everything to be able to Lucid Dream… Reality checks etc… I became very good at this. Any time of the day I could lay down and i would put on a timer and in 4 mins I would have been in and out of a lucid dream that could of seemed like days. Any ways I did just about everything I wanted to do in lucid dreaming. Flying,breathing under water… all these things were cool. But after a while I lost interest in all of it since is was kinda getting borring so I stopped doing all the things to become lucid… Now I’m 18. I don’t do anything special anymore for Lucid dreaming but they still come along at night regularly. So any ways to my story…

Last night I got into a lucid dream I was like oh great here I am dreaming again… I was like cant I have normal not lucid dreams now days? So as I walked around my room I noticed how Good this lucid dream was. colors well pronounced and objects were well in place to my knowledge and the blur was very minimal so I said to myself I better not waste this dream on flying or something like this. So then I thought I wonder If I can read something In my room. Then I found My stereo . I knew that I never pay attention to the writings on it in real life But look at it everyday. So I said to myself well… That I should be able to read whats on it since even tough I never read them in real life it must be in my mind. So to my surprise all the letters on the stereo was there but it was so strange. Like for Sony I would see the letters S-O-N-Y But being lucid they looked like shapes only and I was like ok Now i See a S but what is that? its the alphabet but how come I cant make out what it is since I know. I would have to look every letter carefully over and over then eventually got it ohhh thats S… then the next one. Until I read sony. This took a while for me to do and I was surprised I was still Lucid so I said I will count the letters. hmmm This was the same struggle… 1… now that number comes after 1? Then I would Figure it out 2! then so on until I counted the 4 letters in the Word Sony…

thats about it for this dream But I find it so strange its like I was Stupid or half of my brian was dead. I guess this is because when your asleep so are some parts of your thinking skills??? anyone have any ideas? or experienced something like this?

if you’re interested, look into theories surrounding a psychological phenomena called the Stroop Effect. It involves how we automatically process certain visual stimuli like letters.

As far as your question of being “stupid”, I disagree with the use of that term. It is my opinion your brain is much more focused and alert. Think about it, your brain is capable of designing a fully interactive and responsive world. Does that seem stupid? I personally believe its just your brain responding to what is truly important to you. If you think about it, are the most important things in life the things that are represented textually? Hardly, I feel the most important things in life are the shapes, colors, and textures… not necessarily what the mass population’s consensus is on the interpretation of these “shapes” (letters). In these dreams, you are finding your own meaning, and your finding that letters as mass produced communication is less important than your personal interpretations and experiences.

lotsa love.
