I began attempting to learn to lucid dream for only a few short months now.
I must admit I’ve been too lazy to keep a dream journal but I think it’s time I try that.
Just some thoughts on my experiences so far.
I think so far I’ve had maybe 4 lucid dreams and I think I accidently had an OBE at one point.
First of all the only way my dream recollection was able to get strong again was for me to quit smoking weed so much.
Seriously, the most annoying thing for me about weed is it basically makes it so I never remember my dreams so I was never very successful when I smoked.
Now that I rarely smoke anymore my dream recollection has shot through the roof, I’m usually able to remember 2 or more dreams a night including some very interesting and a bit perturbing ones.
Lately, I’ve had alot of apocalyptic dreams.
I remember one very clearly where for some reason I was in New York city and all hell had broke loose. Everybody had to get to Long Island because some little pale skinned, gollum looking creatures were everywhere and I guess they couldn’t swim so we all armed ourselves and tried to get a boat over there.
I remember walking through an old wooden bridge at one point and several of these creatures where in there, resting in the shade (They kind of look like a cross between Gollum and that creature from Mac & Me) and they were trying to spit on us.
When we got outside I wandered aloud if those creatures didn’t like sunlight when one of them came outside into the sun and was immediately burned to ash.
I remember trying to shoot one but everything got all slow and no matter how close I got I just couldn’t hit the damn thing.
I had another dream were everything was flooded, there was like a swampy sea all around and I was in some hilly area with alot of ridges and embankments.
I remember myself and some others were looking for food when I met a woman who’s face I cannot recall and she led us to a fig tree.
I picked some of the figs and began tossing them to the people with me.
Finally though, to my lucid dreams.
The first one I think was done by WBTB.
I found myself sitting in a pickup truck, I was on a dirt road somewhere in some mountain pine forest.
It was nighttime and I could barely see. I realized I was dreaming pretty quickly so I tried to pass my finger through my hand, my finger instead absorbed into my hand which caught me a bit off guard because I’d just assumed it was supposed to pass through like I’m touching a ghost.
So I confirm I’m dreaming and I’m a bit excited but I remember to remain calm so I think about what I want to do.
I decided to just go with the plot of the dream so i got it in my head I was supposed to be being chased so I decided to start the truck.
I remember distincly the feel of the keys in my hand, I even stopped to touch them carefully and take in the feel. I started the engine and I reached for the headlights which were set up like the one’s you’d find in a military Hummer. It’s a large switch on the right side of the steering wheel, I remember grasping it and feeling the cool metal on my fingers then turning the switch and flooding the road with light.
I started driving and that is when I noticed headlights coming behind me.
Suddenly I didn’t really feel like running so I stopped the truck and decided I was going to fly away, well, I lifted up only to feel my head sink into the soft crunchy stuff that you find in car ceiling before coming to a stop against the ceiling.
I figured I’d better get out of the truck if I was going to do this.
Unfortunately, when I got out of the truck I lost lucidity.
It probably only lasted a few minutes.
I had another LD where I’d become lucid when I saw my girlfriend after just thinking about trying a shared dream with her, I must have already been semi lucid to even think about that.
I found her in my dream (I don’t think it was an actual shared dream because she doesn’t remember this) and decided we were going to go for a walk on the sun, I did a RC really quick and tried to push my finger through my hand, it stopped against my hand and I felt the tip of my finger clearly.
I then held my nose and tried to breathe through it and I could breath easily so I managed to confirm lucidity there.
So, we went to the sun and started making dragons out of the fire but I lost that dream pretty quick.
I’ve also had many intense ND’s that were good potential for LD’s but I never quite woke up in them though later I felt I was close.
I remember another short lucid dream where I had just woken up then fallen so quickly back to sleep I found myself in a castle so I started spinning for more lucidity but I lost it pretty quick.
The possible OBE was a time when I laid down to relax and let myself drift to sleep, I remember I sat up out of bed and stood up then realized I felt different, I realized I’d stepped out of my body so I walked to the end of my bed and I lost it, I woke back up in bed, weirdest damn thing.
Anyway, that’s enough from me.
