Hi,
Recently I started to get back into lucid dreaming again and last night I was researching and reading a lot about it, leading to the following experience:
I woke up in the middle of the night after a dream that I remembered really well. Even though I wanted to write it down, I decided to use the rare situation of me waking up in the middle of the night naturally and attempt to WILD back into it. It didn’t work out the way I wanted to, but I did get back into my dream. I realised moments into the dream that I was in fact dreaming because there was a really strange person with 2 heads standing in front of me. It was quite creepy so as soon as I became lucid, I tried to change the person. It changed into myself.
For a brief moment, I was facinated by it and I started to act enthousiastic, but it quickly became creepy, if not scary. I wanted to get rid of “myself” so I closed my eyes and told myself that my projection had to leave. When I opened them he wasn’t there, but when I looked to my right, I was shocked to see me again, whispering to myself: “You can do anything you want”. I was frightened and my dream started to fade away. I kept lucidity but I was now in control of myself as if I was playing a game of GTA. I felt myself waking up and I tried rubbing my hands together and spinning around, but the only thing that happened was that the character I was controlling was doing the things, but I wasn’t feeling any of it. I woke up soon after.
The strange thing to me is that I’ve not had a dream that was scary in the slightest for probably over 8 years. I’ve always had weird dreams, but they were not scary at all, so I’m wondering why this one dream that made me lucid was scary. I don’t understand why this happened all of a sudden. If anyone has insight as to why this happened, I’d love to hear it!
Thanks.
