I think I had a lucid dream..?

[Nagual]

A mix of lucid dream, an almost OBE and fake awakening... congratulation! []

quote:I knew I was dreaming

I think that says it all...  you were lucid and dreaming...

quote:vibrations? as far as I know they aren't connected with having lucid dreams.

I think people OBE every night... you are just not aware of it...  It's a natural process.  So, in a way, you shouldn't be afraid of the process itself; you've been doing it since you were born.  Now, seeing all the strange things out there is another story; you must try hard to stay calm.  Have fun!  It's like being the hero of a SciFi movie!  []

Again, congratulation! []

About the dog--

I was once told that if you see a big black dog, You or someone you know will die.   A friend of a friend was sleeping and she felt something hard on her chest, She saw a black dog and died.  o.O Scary but I dont believe...  But who knows? [xx(]

Yes, I've heard about that before but that is just a legend. Something about it from a mythology website:

"..there stood a foul thing, a great black beast, shaped like a hound, yet larger than any hound that ever mortal eye has rested upon. It is said, in legend, that if one spied, or spoke to one of these large dogs (the size of a calf or larger) he was bound to die. They are also known to have eyes that shine in the dark."

This dog wasn't 'foul' in any way, and it wasn't THAT big. And it seemed friendly enough. Anyway, I'm sure it was just an image from my subconcious.

By the way, if your 'friend of a friend' died as soon as she saw it, how did you know that she felt something hard on her chest and saw a black dog?

Good one! []

Don't worry about black dogs, or black cats, or whatever...  I saw many and nothing happened to me or my family/friends.  These "hear say" from friends of friends of friends do quite a lot of harm...

I had a black for 20+ years and I loved him!  He was funny; he had 2 long teeth always coming out like a vampire... []

But I'm not sure, since I've never had one before. Is it possible to just dream that you are having a lucid dream? because the night before this happened, I'd been reading about lucid dreaming. err.. anyway, heres what happened. sorry for the long-ness []

I woke up after a normal dream, which I can't remember. It must have been about 5:00 am. I felt weird, and I spent a few minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with me then realised I has vibrations. I don't know why it took so long to figure it out, they were pretty strong. I was surprised, because I've been neglecting OBE practice.

Anyway, I thought, oh crap, am I going to have an OBE? but I'm not ready.. so I moved around a bit to try and stop the vibrations, and then opened my eyes. That was scary. When I opened my eyes, instead of seeing my room, I saw a dog in a field. It was bright, like it was a sunny day, the grass was really green. The dog was big and black, shaped like a greyhound. It was right in my face, like it was sniffing my nose or something.

I was still in my bed and awake at this point, and I still had the vibrations. it was like my eyes were somewhere else. I think now the dog was hypnagogic imagary (?) I couldn't hear the dog or feel its breath on my face or anything. Just see it.

Then I fell asleep, and when I was conscious I was in some kind of courtyard. I knew I was dreaming. I was pretty scared and just wanted to wake up. A man came over to me. I called the man 'Ian' but I don't know why, I'm pretty sure he didn't tell me his name. I don't remember what else I said but after I called him Ian he got kindof mad. I thought I'd offended him or something, but it turns out he was mad at something else, I don't remember what. I should have written this down as soon as I woke up but I spent like an hour checking I was really awake, so forgot alot of stuff.

Anyway, I started following 'Ian' across the yard. I can't remember if he wanted to show me something, or if I asked him to. An older woman came over to us, and said to me "Do you want me to take you home now?" and I thought, oh good, she can wake me up. but I wanted to see what 'Ian' was going to show me. So I said to her "in five minutes, please." Then I wanted to make sure she'd heard me, because I really wanted to wake up after I saw whatever it was. So I told her again and she nodded but seemed really distracted.

So I went after 'Ian'. I started to lose lucidity(?) here, and I can't remember what he showed me.

I 'woke up'. I was in bed, facing my dresser, and there was something on it near me but I couldn't tell what it was. I got really confused and realised I was still dreaming. I almost started crying then. bleh.

The next part I don't remember much.

Then I finally woke up properly. So what do you think? was I really lucid? why did I have vibrations? as far as I know they aren't connected with having lucid dreams. And how do I wake myself up if it happens again? I was really scared throughout the whole thing, even though nothing scary actually happened.

Aww.. and I forgot to try flying []
