Lucid Dream Experience

[Mystiquemushroom]

Hey everyone so glad to be back on here!
Just started attempting to achieve lucidity again a couple days ago, surprisingly had an OBE on the 3rd day of having the intent to achieve lucidity!
Had what I believe was a lucid dream this morning because at the beginning I remember not being lucid and kind of just watching a story unfold then part way into it I became fully lucid.
I'm posting because I have a question about what happened at the end of the experience and because I know others love reading this stuff as well ; )

So here it goes, this is what I wrote in my dream log/journal I just started keeping, word for word, wrote right after it I woke up.
Also Id like to note that I went to bed at 12:00AM, woke up around 7-7:30AM because of roommate, was awake for what I imagine was 30-45 minutes where I had time to write down my 2 dreams I had already, then I fell back asleep which is when the lucid dream occurred. Anything in parenthesis is added while I'm writing what I wrote in my dream logs.

"Appeared in a school, couldn't figure out where I was going or what locker room to go into, eventually made it to the guys locker room(felt like a high school) where I suddenly became lucid, SO REAL in the moment lol, cleaning out locker(presence of multiple people in locker room don't remember looking at anyone yet),  scales, money, razors, look in back pack(was putting locker items in backpack, felt like the end of the school year), all that I cleared out is gone, meet a person that had a lack of personality, created by me(suddenly fixated on this person, only us locker room now)(we had a discussion about weed I think and I think I asked him if he had any, maybe I don't really remember that part)(he pulls out or creates from thin air a rose in plastic cylinder case)(I say some along the lines of thats a rose lol),tried to make a weed nugget appear in my hand and ALMOST DID( we both looked at my hand and i seemed to have a leather glove on or something and it appeared like a hologram almost then disappeared, guess I didnt believe hard enough, where it appeared turned into a crease on the glove), need to believe more, asked his name, thought it to be Austin(my own name) and it was(I think I knew he was only a figment of my imagination and could make him do anything, or he was some entity trying to not let me know it was something besides a figment of my imagination?)shook hands, went back to locker to clean out more, notice empty pack, see money in locker shelf, pick up what looks like a penny, I hear a voice coming from the coin, bring it closer(to my ear), it's counting down from 10(female like voice) and saying something, I look at it, I think it says BOUNTY on it, possibly 1750 as well, I bring it closer, counting down, can't quite figure out or remember exact words, but along the lines of 10 seconds until sleep ends or something like that, I figured it to mean 10 seconds until this experience was over( I knew thats what it meant) andthen I woke up at the end of the voice counting down. AMAZING"

So I'm wondering about the coin thing, was I lacking stimulation? What was going on that a coin had to count down till the experience was over? Maybe because my lack of intent to do anything further at the time?

Thanks for reading ; ) I'll try to be more organized and clear next time lol

Hello:

Its great and even advised to keep a dream journal. Detail everything in it; even minor things such as if your window was opened, the weather, sleeping position, and anything you might of ate/draink before bed. This helps to find a personal pattern that might work best when attempting a lucid dream.

You did have a lucid dream. It would be called a "DILD" or "Dream Included Lucid dream" which means you became lucid while in a non lucid dream. http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/dream-induced-lucid-dreams.html

The coin can represent something of or from your subconscious mind in a symbolic way. That's why its good to keep a dream journal as the answers might come in later dreams or later on when you ponder it. I say this in an entirely non-metaphysical fashion.  You could of also been coming to awareness you were about to awake. Others on the forum might add a more metaphysical link to the female voice and what she was saying.  You also find out that dream characters aren't always zombie like. The individuals in my lucid dreams are very lifelike, and I've experienced where I was unable to make them do what I wanted or speak what I wanted them to say. They had a complete identity awareness of their own.  I had lucid dreams where my DC told me straight out leave them alone...they're meditating or give me some deep insight information subconsciously to me consciously figure something I'm stuff on out lolol. So its important to log down dream characters into your journal, and find out if there's any underlining or subconscious meaning to their appearance. I recommend the book "The Dream Workbook" by Jill Morris (1985 but a great book by a dream psychologist about trying to understand dreams).

But, yes, you did have a lucid dream. Any awareness even in the slightest that you are dreaming while in a dream is lucidity.  False awakenings are also in the lucid dreaming family. There' are other techniques you can practice as you become more experience that will help bring on my lucid or self induced lucid dreams.  It's easy yet hard to lucid dream which you'll find over time (years). You'll also have LD's that you won't be able to the difference between them being real life or a dream because of how vivid and clear they are (and sometimes out of body feeling).

You are welcome hehe. I forgot to mention when you document into your dream journal (paper, computer, or both) do it within one to five minutes after you awake from a lucid dream (or just awake). Also record any odd or realistic/symbolic non-lucid dreams. The reason we say right after awakening instead one hour or six hours later is the fact you start to lose dream memory recall after a few minutes after awakeing. So you might forget important portions or the entire dream by the end of the morning. Especially if you had a lucid dream at say 2AM, and awoke, but didnt log it (but recalled it) and went back to sleep and six hours later...you totally forgot you had a lucid dream (lost behind all the other later dreams you had) or what it was or important factors. It happens a lot; a lot of LDer mention this. It's happen to me and I have a strong photographic type memory.
