Inception

[2fly4thesky]

Last summer I would have a bunch of these weird dreams all the time. It would start off with me in what I believed to be my house in my room. At this point it is not a lucid dream but simply just a very vivid one in full color to the point where I thought I wasn't dreaming and that it was real life; but I wasn't conscious like in a lucid dream. In the dream I would lie down and try to go out of body. I would feel real separation sensations and then be in a different body believing that I had just gone out of body, but I didn't really go out of body. At this point this very vivid dream has become a lucid dream. I'm very much conscious thinking I just had a conscious exit into the RTZ. But really I'm just lucid dreaming.

So one time this happened and I walked out the door of my house. Yes I used the door. I then went walking around my neighborhood. Yes walking lol So I'm lucid dreaming thinking I'm having an OBE walking around smh. Eventually I decide to fly around and now I'm flying which we all know is super fun. So like I said I thought I was in the RTZ (this was before I ever had a conscious exit) so I got the thought of flying into space at a 45 degree angle to go to the astral. I begin to fly upward diagonally but when I get to a certain height I start to fly horizontally and it's like there's a barrier stopping me from flying too high up vertically. This is when I put 2+2 together and realize I'm not in the RTZ I'm really having a lucid dream because if I was in the RTZ I would be able to fly into space. (And this is why I always recommend that people read). Okay so I realized I'm dreaming. I don't really know how to phase out of a dream when I'm in one and that's one reason why I'm writing this. I looked up into the sky and noticed the backdrop.. It's like a flat 2D border that I notice surrounds all of my dream environs. It was the night sky but as I looked into it thousands of yellow lights/stars pierced the sky.. like they were burning through the black backdrop. It was beautiful. I woke up shortly thereafter. I was in my bed but I knew something wasn't right. There was a body in the bed next to me under the covers (I sleep alone). I realized that I must be dreaming and didn't really wake up. When I came to this realization I also knew that the body laying next to me belonged to me. Looking around the room I noticed it was my old room in my parents house which confirmed I was dreaming and I woke myself up. I'm sure if I got scared and panicked from that body next to me that situation would've gotten ugly fast.

There was this other dream I had where I knew I was dreaming and I was in this huge, futuristic city full of skyscrapers. I was flying high above the city. The dream had a plot like I knew there was some antagonist in the city that was after me or that I was after. I had a feeling that this person could fly too so being in the air wasn't the best move. For some reason I had to get to my apartment somewhere in the city but I had no idea where my apartment was. I flew to the ground and thought well hey I'm in a dream I can teleport. So I closed my eyes and focused on the thought and intent of an apartment and teleporting there. I had never closed my eyes in a dream before and when I did this it felt as if I lost the dream and was waking up. I felt a distinct shift and figured this must be me waking up. Next thing I know I'm in a room in an apartment. The tv I currently own in physical reality was in the room so I kind of couldn't tell if I was awake or not. So I looked out the window and it was dark, gloomy and seemed like the aftermath of an apocalypse. It was like in the matrix when Morpheus showed Neo the real world or like in the new Total Recall where they had that one abandoned city where they had to wear masks when they went there. Yeah more like that Total Recall scene. After seeing this I'm not sure if I knew I was dreaming but I definitely knew I wasn't where I should've been. Looking around the room there was this cordless house phone on the floor and its charger was separated and I knew it was reconfigured to be a time machine. It had a headset and a screen. I put the headset on and it was set to a year I don't remember what year though. Far 2000 something. I pressed the button and was sucked into the signal.. sort of like in the matrix.. Next thing I know I'm in the same apartment but everything is bright and colorful. I look outside and it's sunny and there are people walking around and the beach and the shore are right there. At this point I knew it was a dream. There were two big tv's in the living room and a bunch of futuristic looking thin desktops and next gen gaming consoles from the future it was pretty cool. I went downstairs and I saw the sweetest pair of Jordan's at the doorway that I simply had to throw them on. I went outside and floated down the shore and flirted with girls and there were these vivid colors of light that swirled over and around the beach it was very beautiful.

In the last dream I'm going to talk about I had a conscious exit during a dream again. Thought I was really in the RTZ. Flew out my window. Flew around everywhere very fast. Anyways, eventually I realized I was dreaming and I wanted to go to the astral so what I tried to do was visualize a completely new environment. When I did this the environment of my dream collapsed leaving me standing in a white void. When I tried to recreate the environment there was like a painting canvas that appeared and what I was trying to visualize would just appear on the canvas. I imagined a blue ocean with a sun and it appeared on the canvas. Maybe I would've been able to step into it I don't know. I woke up after that.

I feel like those dream conscious exits were happening to get me used to the idea of separating and being out of body. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I've also had a few other false awakenings and double false awakenings but they were not as fun as those last 3. Anyways even though I haven't had a lucid dream in a long time, and not really trying to have one, it would still be beneficial to know how to phase out of one into the 3D blackness or the astral. How do you go about doing this? Focusing on a part of the dream hasn't worked for me.. the environment collapses and I wake up. I've tried to read other ways to do it but I just couldn't understand what they were talking about at the time.
