Title: Lucid dream no-no :(
Post by: Frozen Spirit on August 11, 2008, 20:16:40
I don't know how many of you out there are aware of a movie called "Silent Hill".  It's a very disturbing, creepy movie with fairly bad acting.  Well anyway, out of boredom I watched the movie a few nights ago and decided to push myself towards a lucid dream of the movie setting, the town of "Silent Hill".  Not the greatest idea.  The dream started out somewhere else, in my backyard or something before I became lucid.  When I became lucid I realized that the dream has been lasting a while and I'm probably not going to be dreaming much longer so I need to get a move on.  I redirected myself by thinking of the Silent Hill setting while using a pulsing relocation technique I taught myself.  Soon enough, I found myself in the fog-ridden town of silent hill.  Needless to say it was creepy, but nothing was terrifying like I would be expecting it to be.  The dream began to fade because honestly I think I was getting bored just walking through a foggy town, so I focused on my hands and spun and the dream cleared up again. 
Then hell broke loose.
If you are familiar with the movie then you will probably know, a fire siren going off is not a good thing.  Well, I hear the siren go off and the town begins to change into the hellish world.  Everything is rusted and I couldn't imagine hell, itself, looking any worse.  I'm starting to freak out because I'm hearing screams and just unnatural sounds.  I decide to get out of this dream world and go to the island I bail out to when I'm trying to get out of a bad dream.  I turn around to start spinning and as I turn around I see the pyramid head guy with the huge sword carrying a nurse with a hole in her face.  This scared the living crap out of me.  I'm pretty sure I yelled loud enough in my dream that the real world heard it. haha I immediately, without thinking, just jump straight up into the air and fly away and wake up almost immediately after.

So, what did I learn?  Never, ever, try to live out a horror movie.  :)  Thankfully, I was lucid enough to be able to bail out when I needed to, but I have a feeling if I would have lost lucidity at a point, I may have been quite traumatized when I woke up.  Although, it was an experience I am glad I had, I definitely have learned my lesson and will not be doing anything like that again very soon.
