Proving my Lucidity to Others

[Selski]

I had a very cool lucid dream this morning.  It's the longest time I've stayed lucid, and I was very lucid.  Here it is - enjoy.

I was in a house.  I became lucid.  I walked from one room to another.  This second room was full of wooden chairs, all haphazardly arranged.  Then I walked into a kitchen.  My "mother" was there (not my real Mum – someone I've never met before).  She was busy preparing lunch for when the men got back.  I told her I'd give her a hand, but first I was going to go into the garden to pick some flowers for the dinner table.  She was happy with this.

As I was leaving, I noticed our maid was there – called Molly.  I called out to Mum that Molly would help.

Then I was in another room on my own.  There were two televisions in this room – both were on.  I was very lucid in this room.  I went up to the first TV.  I made it into a mental screen.  Then I put my hand into it.  I took my hand out and decided to see if I could go from F2 to F3 (or F3 to F4 – I'm not sure because I didn't know where I was in the first place).  So I looked at the image and defocused to see an image behind it.  There it was!  I made the top image fade away.  Both images were of modern art.  I looked at the second image for a while and thought that perhaps I hadn't changed any F numbers – I didn't know what I'd done!

Just then someone came into the room.  This was Ruth (known in physical reality).  The screen was a TV again, and I was back in the room, still lucid.  I said to her, "I'm dreaming.  This is a dream and I'm aware of it."  The volume on the televisions was too loud for me and I was trying to find the volume button so I could turn them down.  She came to sit by me.  "Watch – I'll show you."  I put my hand into the TV screen.  It went through and I could feel the static.

She looked amazed and started to lift her hand to the screen.  I said, "Wait, wait, if you're dreaming and not aware of it, your hand won't go through.  You need to be lucid.  Are you even dreaming?  You might be simply a part of my dream."  She put her hand towards the screen and it went through.  We smiled at each other.  She was delighted.

We went over to the other TV and I turned down the volume on this one.  I said to her, "I wonder if you are dreaming too."  She said, "The doctor will be here soon".  Initially I thought she meant that the doctor was coming for lunch too.  

Then mother walked into the room and both Ruth and she looked kindly, but suspiciously at me.  I said, "Don't you understand?  I'm dreaming, and I know I'm dreaming.  My physical body is fast asleep somewhere else."  They didn't reply.  "I can prove it, but it will mean I leave the dream, and I don't want to do that."  They didn't say anything.  "OK, I will prove it.  I'm going to make myself wake up.  What will happen is you will see me fizzle out, and I'll just disappear right in front of your eyes."  I stood in front of them – they both were watching me.  I thought about my physical body and woke up.

I stayed where I was, thinking about the dream, and lo and behold I went back into it, with my lucidity in tact!!  

I went back into the same room, but I was on the top of some sort of bed.  The duvet was sliding off the bed and I was on the duvet sliding off as well.  I landed at the foot of the bed and there was a little dog there too.  I looked around.  Mother and Ruth were there.  So too was the doctor.  He had brought his dog.  I said to them, "Well, did I fizzle out in front of your eyes?"  They admitted that I had.  I was overjoyed with this; I was even more overjoyed to have returned to the same dream.  I got the impression that the doctor wasn't coming for lunch – he was coming to see me.  Mother and Ruth were worried about my claims and they wanted me checked over.  I said, "Surely one of you has had a lucid dream before?"  The doctor said, "I have, yes."  

Now I was deliriously happy – not only did someone know what I was talking about, but also it was the one person I needed on my side.  "When did you have a lucid dream then?" I asked.  "Right now," he replied, "I'm lucid dreaming right now."  This blew me away.

"That's awesome," I said.  "So we're both having the same dream at the same time – and we're both lucid".  I started thinking about this and then said to the doctor, "Have you got any idea as to why we both have met in this dream?  Do you think there's a reason behind it?"  And just before I could really finish my sentence I felt myself fizzling again, and before I could warn anyone, I was awake – this time too fully to go back.

The only trouble with my lucid dreams is that just when I'm about to ask that crucial question - the one I've been leading up to all along - just when the dream is getting interesting - I wake up.

Cracking dream though.  Going back into it was just the best.  Their faces were pictures!!

This is amazing. Did it feel like the only person other than you who acted lifelike and normal was the doctor?

[stephen~]

Cracking indeed.

Is molly real?

When you said the Dr was coming, I kind of wondered if it might the one that gets persude by mechanised wheelie bins with sink plungers and have bad attitudes - you know the ones lol.

I liked the way you fully engaged them in your dream, that they took part in the 'experiment', for want of a better word. Also to return to it like after an ad break was pretty cool too.

Will you try to return to get more out of them?

Steve.

psolano - they all acted real.  Thinking about it, the doctor appeared more relaxed and personable, but not so I would really have noticed at the time.  I know what breed of dog he had, and I'm hoping someone will come along and tell me they had a strange dream last night where they became lucid and met a woman who spoke of lucid dreams...  

Stephen - LOL - Molly isn't real - I bet you had me down as an extremely posh and wealthy English woman there for a minute, didn't you?!!!  Ha ha ha.  I do have refined taste and tend to like expensive things, so perhaps I was an upper class Lady in a former life... but sadly, not in this one.  

The doctor - ha ha - that would have been funny.  He was more like your average elderly friendly family doctor.

I'd love to get more out of them.  However, I've NEVER been able to go back to a dream once I've fully woken up (or not that I'm aware of anyway).  I would love to be able to do this - any tips?

Thanks for the replies.

WOW, that was awsome! Thanks for sharing!

Yes for a minute I had you down as signed: Projected, of Tunbridge Wells.

No way I can think of how to return, unless you become lucid in another dream maybe and try to steer it back towards Mandalay and another encounter with the good Doctor and K9, Molly (if she is not too 'below stairs' ? ) Ruth, who no doubt dropped by in the old jallopy, and the first Mrs De Selski.

Actually, all silliness aside, it is a cracker of a lucid dream and maybe it will be possible to encounter them or some of them again, perhaps in another location. Perhaps you have started something, a connection, by establishing a rapore with the Doc. I haven't noticed before someone get such close envolvement from the characters inside a dream.

Something else I notice from my own experiences - how we accept people who are obviously not the people they are supposed to be, despite being lucid enough to recognise they are 'wrong'.

It must have been a dream though -  getting a doc to make a house visit in England? Who ever heard of that in reality!

High I had a similar experience. My guess is your higher self is revealing something to you... i think it will come to you once you think about it.
