Mohnblumes Lucid Dreams

[Mohnblume]

I want this to be my space to collect my experiences and little adventures. Sometimes moths pass without one single lucid dream, and then I have three of them in one week. I am sure you know that.

I can easy have lucid dreams by saying 'this is just a dream' before falling asleep. Any other technique never worked for me.

I also use an app on my phone, which plays totem sounds around day time and also night time to remember me to do some reality checks. It workes pretty well for me, if I am really into it.
Because it is easy for me to fly as soon I am lucid, my reality check is trying to fly instantly just by thinking of it, haha.

I would like to start with my first lucid dream I can remember.
I was around nine or ten years old.
It was a nightmare about Chucky the doll. I never watched this movie, but in my dream its arm running behind me with a knife and I was trying to escape. Suddenly I knew it was just a dream, but I did not awake. As a child I thought, I have to die in a dream to wake up, so I ran down the stairs of a house to get to the street. I imagined a truck driving fast so I could jump in front of it, the arm of Chucky was still behind me. Then I finally awoke and it felt like falling softly like a feather on my bed. A bit creepy for a child. I could imagine a truck, but I could not let the doll disappear.

Few years ago this happened alot, when I had lucid dreams. I could control everything, but as soon I am scared because something is running behind me, I wake up. I have to face it, but I am sure it needs a lot of consciousness.

A nice start for lucid dreaming, haha.

When I started first techniques with Ap five years ago maybe, I had a lot of false awakenings, mostly at the afternoon. I was still living with my mother and after school I practiced. I rarely had the typical symptoms, but these awakenings. Mostly I just got confused about things that have been different in my room. The time was always the same like real time.

I can't say for sure if I always have been without any consciousness. Sometimes I kind of felt I was in a dream, but it was not the point or out of my interests.. A a bit difficult to explain, but I am sure you know what I mean!

There was an interesting coincidence, at least for me. I always met my mother, when she was sleeping in real time, too. In the floor, in the kitchen, once in the middle of the night in the living room. She was wandering there, and once she told me: "You should go back to bed." And I answered: "But I just came from there..."

Its very likely it was just my imagination, my own visions. Once there was a totally foreign person in my room, and once a friend.

But isn't there a little chance, I just met my dreaming mother while we both were sleeping?
I never asked her because she is not interessted in dreams and does not believe in things like that.

Did you ever experienced something similar? I would be really interested!

FA's are a good example of an early projection with low/incorrect awareness; but it's still a good start, your Intention to have an OBE worked, it got through to your subconscious, so it gave you one. Now the trick is to carry some more awareness into the experience. FA's can happen anytime, even for more experienced projectors. Ignore the confusion of local scene differences. These are distractions you must move beyond. Just go with the flow.

Whether it was your mom's dreaming self, your expectation of her, or some combination of the two is very difficult to determine. But it is an interaction and good, nonetheless. Good experience, good analysis.

Thank you very much for reading and for your answer!

So do you think an interaction is important?

I remember asking foreign people in my dream if they are travelers few years ago. They sat under water and talked to each other. I don't know why I asked, because I knew they must be my imagination ... But they laughed at me and looked at me like: Ohh, the little girl knows nothing.
Haha.

I am sure you all know the feeling, when you are aware of yourself in a dream and you have all your possibilities to do whatever you want and maybe you have already a plan what to do ... But then you suddenly feel to do something different.
This happens to me alot, I am sure it is also just connected with my awareness. In alot of dreams I am just exploring my surrounding, because I am not in the mood to follow my plans I made before...

At least few times I tried. Mostly I just want to meet people in my dreams and talk to them. But it never worked and I have no idea why. When I want to travel to them, I end up in the void (is this the correct term for that room of nothing?). It always happens, when the setting is about to change. Or I awake.
Then I asked for them to appear, but nothing again... Well, it never worked to ask for anything, haha. So what else to do? No chance to meet anyone? More awareness?

You have touched on several important issues that can be explored.

Interaction is obviously a huge part of this; but you need to realize a few things going in.

1 -Many, if not most of the people you run into in your early NP experiences will be manifestations from your subconscious dreaming side. That seems disappointing to realize but understand that many things are occurring in these experiences. This is a form of initial training to prepare you for deeper Astral journeys; it's also a method for your Higher Self to communicate to you and work through some personal issues; it's also a set of experiences to help you develop your NP personality and an entirely new set of NP senses. Think long and hard about these senses, you've already had a taste of them: communication, intent, movement, recognition, distance...etc.

You will get goofy, confusing metaphors like the people underwater, talking about you. Lol

2 -Your plans can change when you are NP. This can be confusing but may indicate that your Higher Self or a Guide is pushing you towards a learning experience. Be open to this and go with the flow. It's actually a great opportunity! Over time, you begin to realize that you can't just sneak into the Astral unnoticed...you are always being watched and tested. This is also an indicator of your NP personality being developed; it's different from your Physical personality in subtle ways; notice this.

3 -The Void or the room of nothing...can you describe this a little more? How or when do you end up there?

4 -Intent. This is a very important concept and ability to understand and develop. Every action in the NP must first involve a very clear application of Intent.

5 -When your Intent fails, when your requests fail...it's time to look elsewhere. If nothing is shouting for your attention, then put out an open request such as 'Show me the most important lesson I need to learn!'

Again, good experiences and good analysis!

I assumed this already and it is not dissapointing, actually I like the idea to talk to my subconscious, I would be fine with it, but even this happenes rarely.

I never viewed it from this point! This is very interesting, but when I think about it, I mostly just discovered my surrounding. As you mentioned before, maybe to get more confident with every sense.

Except of one lucid dream I had recently, when I started to control different levels of my awareness just to see what happens.
Actually this experience brought me here. Maybe one step further.

3 -The Void or the room of nothing...can you describe this a little more? How or when do you end up there?

I experienced the void as a black room, because I can't see anything, or there is simply nothing to see. Asking for clarity did not work. I felt my self floating around, but I coukd not control any movement. I even sensed something like an air drag (is this the right term?) but maybe it is just my interpretation because it is what I expect while flying around. This status keeps for few seconds or a minute, until I wake up.
Mostly I ended up there while leaving a setting, for visiting my bedroom, for example. Everything around me dissapeared. Once I tried to go through a mirror (something I wanted to do for years, hehe). I entered the void again.

4 -Intent. This is a very important concept and ability to understand and develop. Every action in the NP must first involve a very clear application of Intent.

5 -When your Intent fails, when your requests fail...it's time to look elsewhere. If nothing is shouting for your attention, then put out an open request such as 'Show me the most important lesson I need to learn!'

Again, good experiences and good analysis!

I never tried this before.
I want to remember this! I firgit I am not alone while having np experiences. Thank you very much for your advice!


Before going to bed, I want to tell a unique (for me so far) experience I had few years ago.

I had a dream about a parallel universe here in Berlin. It was dark with lilac mist and colourful jellyfish aliens, hahaha. I visited this place with a friend I knew these times. We were just walking around, when I realized I was inside a dream. Because of that interesting setting I started to fly through the colourful clouds higher and higher until there were only these clouds and me.
And then I hit my head on a lamp. Suddenly there was a piece of a roof with a lamp in the middle of the sky. It hurt and I woke up from it, and laughing about this lucid dream.

Few days later that friend who was in that dream, too, told me he had a nightmare. It was about us being in the same room, when it started to collaps and the roof was falling down on us and he tried to save me.

It was not a good friendship and it broke with a big clash. I just hit my head on it.

You are very welcome and I am glad that gave you some ideas to consider!

The 3D Blackness/The Void -your description indicates that this is where you are ending up at times. That's a good thing; you just need to realize where you are. The Void is where many experienced projectors transition to for various reasons. Sometimes it is because we haven't expressed an Intent strongly enough or clearly enough; sometimes it is because we have transitioned without a clear destination in mind; sometimes it is a hint that our Guides/Higher Self put us there to be ready to transition into a Lesson.

Either way, the Void is an excellent place to launch into any scene/dimension we desire...it is totally open and simply waiting for us to express a proper Intent. It is also a great place to hang out and relax within...but don't be surprised if someone doesn't telepathically tap you on the shoulder like someone did for me in my Fieldtrip Experience.Lol

Your parallel universe dream is quite interesting and strikes me two possible ways: 1 -This was a symbolic representation of your relationship that 'bumped into' its eventual limits and thus the relationship was ending; 2 -It could also be an astral dream space experience that showed you to the limits of your personal Dreamspace, symbolically bumping your head against the ceiling, Lol. Maybe it serves both translations?! Either way, a cool experience!

You seem to take your experiences with a lot humor, thats great! I am mostly scared. I only can laugh about things afterwards. Things scare me so fast.

If the void shows the borders of my dreamspace, it is a good explanation, but also worries me. I really hope my dreamspace will expand someday.

Few weeks ago I had a dream which confused my memories.
It was a lucid dream, but maybe I was no fully aware of it, because It felt to follow a task I had in my mind, I just did not know before. And there was no reason not to follow it.
I was on my way to a nature place. It was important for me to get there, but I don't know why. Then I watched the clouds changing. There was a tree without leafs, an autumn afternoon. The clouds started moving away and the sun got through them just behind the tree. The tree was kind of glowing, only angel's singing was missing, haha I told myself to paint this scene (and I did later when I was awake again).

Then I saw a light ball in the clouds. A glowing sphere. It was moving, flying very fast in my direction, pass me and flying away again. I knew it was a kind of a being. It had a consciousness. And few others appeared, too.
I thought by myself: "Ahh, these spheres again, I met them already the last nights before in my dreams."
Ah ... I did?
When I awoke, I was totally confused. It felt like I met these spheres before. The feeling kept even after waking up. Like a memory I forgot or ... I have no idea. But maybe it was just a dreamed memorie. I am still not sure about. Maybe I will see these the spheres again, if they communicate, I will ask them, haha.

To clarify a little-

The Void is not 'showing you the borders of your Dreamspace'. I proposed that your dream about bumping your head into the ceiling above the clouds was possibly showing you a boundary of your Dreamspace.

The Void is a separate 'place' altogether. And actually it's not a place but rather a state of consciousness/awareness or a point of focus. It may be a purely personal space or it might be a common area located between various Astral areas. As you have correctly described, most explorers enter the Void when leaving a scene, not on the way to it, rather upon exiting an experience.

The spheres you encountered helped you to recall a NP memory that was normally unavailable to your Physical self. This is an event that shows you that you have another set of memories and critical awareness available to you in the Astral. Think about that for awhile...

Confusion upon your waking is normal; confusion, frustration, bafflement occurs from time to time; just go with the flow as best you can. This is where the humor helps...

Go to the Astral Consciousness Forum and read the sticky by Contenteo- Conceptual Framework of the Astral. It's a helpful reference and the whole thread has excellent information, I was especially helped by CFT's comments.

Good recall!
