false Awakenings

[experimental]

8th dec 2004

I had a mad expereince last night . I was lieing in bed struggling to fall asleep , i went into a semi-con state twice , but woke up twice and new i was awake , but the third time i woke up  i was still in a dream . In the dream everything looked normal in the room, nothing had changed  and everything looked very solid and physical , just like the last 2 occations i awoke up b4 it , it seemed exactly the same , so i thaught nothing of it until i tried to get up and moove to get a drink from the kitchen ,

Suddenly instead of mooveing towards standing upright and walking , i started hovering above the bed, and i started to float with the quilt still covering me towards the bedroom door, i  started laughing and was getting exited , at this point it dawned on me i had became lucid or was takeing some form of control of this particular dream, it was as if i used the flying ability to acknoledge i was in a dream ,

Thats the first time i had a expereince like this b4 a ( false awakening ) , it was awesome , i just wander what i done to bring this effect on , because i had nt planned it to happen ,

The only way i thaught this was possible, as  if i intented to dream of being in a awake state in the here and now just lieing in bed trying to sleep, and also its as if the flying element in a dream  acts as a trigger to remind my concsuios mind " yes i m now dreaming and expereinceing it "

Has anyone had a simular experience ?

This has happened to me as well.  Sometimes I lay in bed all night thinking I can't get to sleep at which point I wake up and realize I was dreaming that I couldn't get to sleep. <---Not pleasant!!

It happens when I sleep with my eyes open....(have done this on occasion my whole life, feel bad for my boyfriend lol)

It can be a good lead into obe.  

I left my body this way before and I scared the crap out of myself!
This is funny....
I was sleeping with my eyes open and I left my body.  I went and floated around the house just enjoying myself.  Then I came back into my room and I got really close to my face. Well, my physical body's eyes were open.  I actually was able to somehow see a little Grey cloud in front of my face in bed.  It was having 2 perceptions at once.  
Anyway, I looked scary laying there in bed with my eyes open and I scared myself floating in front of my face! lolol
I don't know if I explained that really well, but it was really funny.

I can relate to some of that , i think what it is ...... when your desire has built up enough to want to expereince some sort of paranormal activity in dreams and obe`s , our sub-con mind  takes over and gives our  physical awareness time to expereince   some  unconcious activity .

Like in my case , i v been trying to project conciously for years , it never happens when i try, its when i m not expecting it that i generly have a expereince , its generly the flying aspect in dreams that triggers my awareness  , at this point it feels amazeing , haveing some concsuios control over a dream because the flying aspect has acted like a wake up call  , ( knocked me to awareness in the dream ) .

But that expereince the other nite ( false awakening ) really did trick me into thinking i was still awake, because i could nt remember falling asleep on the third time i came around . It was nt until i started hovering  above my bed under the quilt did i realise this could nt be physical reality lol , but it was that funny, i remember laffin like mad at myself in the dream, whizzing about the room . But the hovering was the only distinction that made me realise it must have been a dream, because the room was identical to awake  mode .

but i v realised somthing important aswell . Next time this happens, i m not gonna get exited , because that will knock me back awake and spoil this expereince ,  so aslong as i remain carm and keep affirming " i  will remember everything " with a adventerous intension in mind to explore outside and other places , maybe i can prolong this expereince and remember it aswell
