Quest for Lucidity
1

ever since i have gotten involved with lucid dreaming, my dreams, well, are different is really all i can say. they have a much happier tone set to them now,at least through what ive noticed, and i rememeber many of them. i have had 1 succesful LD since i have started, lasted about 15 seconds, with me flying. then i had another, that sadly dissapeared as soon as i realized hat im lucid dreaming. i was racing down a wet street for some reason, i forgot, and the side of the road, strangely, had many many mailboxes is all i can really remember. then i was like wait…im dreaming. thats how ive realized im dreaming all 3 times. i dont even have to do a RC . i just…know it. so then i start lucid dreaming. that happened to me the first time, and then i started to fly. the second time, it faded, probably because i was so excited,as soon as it started. then i had a few more dreams before waking up.

My third one happened a few nights ago. and to me, it was worse than a nightmare. ill explain it.

i was walking around on a beautiful landscape. and i mean amazingly…dreamlike, is all i can say. a multimillion dollar field of flowers on hills. really amazing. so im walking, admiring the landscape, and i notice a beautiful hill, more beautiful than any other piece of land there. i just had to know what was on the other side of the hill. then i realize im dreaming. it just hits me, like always. so i get one thought in…i need to see whats over that hill, quick. then i realize my dreams fading. pissed, i start bolting for the hill.

im so close…running on the side…

almost there…

almost THERE…

…and it ends. in a time period of about 5 seconds, the following happened:

it starts fading. i remember that i should rub my hands together-the people on ld4all forums said that…! so i start…but i just CANT i cant explain it! i just cant. it was like i was fighting between my dream state and my real life body, not knowing weather to rub my hands together in real life, my real body lieing on the bed, or in my dream. and i couldnt win. so here i am, fighting with myself, and my eyes open.

sigh…

please comment or something so i dont feel like that was all a waste heh…thanks…!

and…oh yeah, the reason i thought it was worse than a nightmare was because i was never able to see what was beyond the hill. that fact just kills me. i want to have that same dream again.

Hey Ijusell,

Congrats on your LD’s. You were probably just too late in starting to rub your hands that time. When you are 1/2 awake you sometimes start to move your physical body instead of the dream one. One thing you can do here is spin around fast (around any axis), it could keep you in the LD, and then you can try to rub your dream hands again. Next time try to keep the dream stable at te first sign of trouble (rub hands, spin, focus on objects etc). And don’t dispair, in one of your upcomming lucids, you can try to walk into the same landscape again and see what’s beyond that nice hill. Good luck! :smile:

I also think that it can be co-product of becoming to have LD-s. I started to have more controlled ND-s also after i started to have LD-s. For example once i wanted to grab a thief when he was running away. Usually i would think in ND: “He is running, and i prolly never reach him”, but this time i looked that he is fat and i can outrun him anyway. After few seconds i reached him.

Last night i had ND where i wanted to go to toilet. So my friends took me with their car to some public toilet. I noticed a strange gang in front of it, but i still did not hesitated to stop there. So i went in (the gang was drinking outside), and i was aware that they can come in, knock me down and take my wallet. Indeed 2 very drunk guys came in, but they only peed, and did not touched me. When i went away from this place, one guy followed me and wanted to convince me that i was lucky that i remained untouched. I was like: “Well, tell me. I’m sure i would have calmed them down with words, so the situation was under control anyway”.

So yes, it can happen that some people after starting to have LD-s also experience less frightening ND-s and more control even in ND-s.

thank you for responding!!

i believe what you said is true, too. that those are side effects of getting involved with LD s. any other comments?

Hey Ijusell!!

you said you wanted that dream to occur again right?
Well for the knowledge i have you CAN!! you just have to imagine all the dream, how it happened, where, what was there, every single detaile, imagine everything little by little; and if you have luck(i know you’ll have) you will be back again in that dream and so completing your “hill thing”.

Some other people noticed that their dreams and sometimes their lives were happier, too. It was my comment ! :tongue:
