Wow my first official Lucid Dream.

[Karina Kapri]

I've been Lucid in my dream before but not like this.. This is the first one where it almost felt like I was in the matrix! Before I fell asleep I wanted to fall asleep and escape. I wanted to Lucid Dream and it worked. (Was kind of thinking depressing thoughts before going to sleep, just the usual mind playing tricks type of stuff.) Haha going to copy and past what I wrote when I woke up...:


This was my first official lucid dream.
Everything was in black and white.. When I knew i was in the dream I immediately looked at my hands and asked for clarity. When I looked up and looked to my left I seen someone walking.. Completely creeper me out because I didn't asked for anyone to be there... So whatever I just want to drive. I couldn't drive the car normally and comfortably and when I did it moved so slow.. So now I'm think wtf my first lucid dream and its black and white.. Dark as excrement.. And I can't bonking drive this thing. I looked at my hands again and asked for clarity again. There was a point too when I was in a stairwell. So after driving the car for a while I'm just like wow this sucks.. Is this the first level? A lot of things were going through my head.. I was creeped out.. It was very real but I felt like I was in a game and kept thinking one I lucid dream I never go back to regular dream.. (Read this somewhere). Here's the strange part.. I was still full conscious. But I was disappointed and I wanted to wake up.. So I close my eyes.. Then open them. Still in dream. I close my eyes again and open them but this time I can see part of my face but I am still in the dream! I thought about the things I've read about falling backwards and it turning into a astral projection but I was afraid! Haha so I closed my eyes again and realized I was at some place of false awakening. Then I really woke up. WOW!


I truly feel like though if I would have aimed with the projection it would have worked. It was just so hard for me to move in the dre it was crazy.. Could have been one idk.. Usually when I become lucid in a dream when I look at my hand they are glowing.. This time they were not but I had so much control I managed to look at them several times. Because the dream was in black and white ( my very FIRST time dreaming this way) my hands were not glowing they just looked normal. Pretty cool excrement. The great thing about it, my books on dreaming should arrive soon. I am stoked.

Excellent.

Now... tell me about an "unofficial" lucid dream you've had.

[EscapeVelocity]

We will change your name for the moment to...I am stoked!

That first, REALLY strong lucid dream is SO cool, isn't it? Well done! This isn't the only one...you get further opportunities at more of these awesome moments!

The idea that once you "go lucid, you'll never go back" isn't quite accurate; it is possible, but for most of us, we have a mixture of regular dreams and dreams that provide us opportunities...to explore in different ways...

It sounds like you have developed two excellent Dream Triggers/Clarifications: Asking for clarity and looking for your hands to stabilize the environment.

This experience sounds like a great challenge to your understanding of various aspects of your Non-Physical Awareness.

Well done!

Haha thanks guys.. Sorry for all the grammar errors. EscapeReality you are right, definitely had a regular dream last night. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

My unnoffical lucid dreams didn't last very long but are extremely vivid. The first one I had involved me being on the phone with a significant other.. I didn't remember falling asleep so when the dream started I actually opened my eyes and I got out of bed.. Looked at my hands subconsciously (I looked at my hands a lot because I was working at the post office at this time) .. and they were glowing. It was completely on par with waking consciousness.

Another one I had went downstairs, my mom said something to me which trigger the "wtf I'm in a dream" awareness. So I immediately open my door I see a zombie on the way and start to fly lol.. Very briefly though. On another occasion I also realized I was in a dream and tried to fly again and my control of doing things I want to do seem to be messed up now that I think of it. I wanted to drive the car.. It moved like a slug. I wanted to fly.. and I kind of hopped in the air. And the most vivid and vibrant one I had was kind of random. I remember spinning to keep myself there. The dream felt and looked like being high on really good weed. All randomness though lol..

The difference between these dreams and the ones had the other night is the one in black and white wasn't vibrant or very vivid.. But when I was in it I couldn't believe I was there with so much awareness. Make sense? It honestly just felt like this was my first taste of doing what I tried to do before with progress. It was cool and seemed important. That's why it felt to me like a level in a game.

Let's hope you get the awareness that exceeds the physical you're used to. These are on another level as they are so real the physical then appears like that groggy feeling you get at night when you wake in the early hours.
