Well, this is a question I have been wanting to ask people who knew something about dreaming/lucid dreaming.
A while back I had this dream that I was in a rather grim looking house with 3 other people. There were a lot of spooky aspects to the place, it was unnerving. So anyway, the 3 DC’s made a suggestion that I follow them through a doorway down a long set of stairs that disappeared into the dark. At this point, something triggered me to realize I was dreaming and I abruptly told the DC’s “F— that!” and turned and walked through a door leading outside.
Upon walking into this new landscape I was overwhelmed with bright, beautiful scenery. A rolling green field with a bright red wooden fence, a glistening blue waterfall cascading into a crystal clear pool at the base of a cliff and stone carved Buddha statues all around the pool. It was so bright and amazing, I frolicked there for some time, enjoying myself in the awe inspiring place when suddenly I began to feel this burning pain in the back of my head, eventually the pain woke me and I lay awake in my bed with the pain still burning there. After a few minutes it faded away.
After this I never experienced any pain/sensation (it wasn’t exactly painful I suppose) remotely like that, and I also haven’t had any dreams as clear and vivid as that one, either.
There was no logical explanation for the burning feeling, and I always thought maybe it was due to some sort of sensory overload I experienced in my dream.
But really I have no clue, does anyone have any ideas?
