My first lucid dream in forever, with open eyes

[SleepyHollow]

I can't remember the last time I had one. I was just trying to meditate a bit before sleeping. As I drifted off I heard my breath loudly, startling me awake. I closed my eyes again and then quickly I was gone.

In the dream I started off where my physical body was, floating up to the ceiling and then back down. I was physically on my side looking out towards my patio, with my eyes open, but mentally I was standing there trying to make it to my patio, so I had a hard time trying to rotate my view so I could orient myself better. Finally I realized I wasn't going to be able to rotate my physical eyes' view, so I blinked, closed my physical eyes, and opened my dream eyes. That worked good, and I continued on outside.

I hung and dropped down from my patio to the street, and once down I was unsure whether it was still a dream because it felt real. So I jumped and found myself floating easily back up to my patio, which was my confirmation because of the way I had floated to the ceiling a moment earlier.

A few times I felt myself losing the dream and my eyes opening, so I focused on relaxing, keeping my physical eyes closed, and visualizing what was around me instead of trying to hold onto anything in particular, and that worked good too.

Funny part - At one point in the dream I was walking through a breezeway at the condo I used to live at, with lots of neighbors hanging out everywhere, and I had to pee, so knowing it wasn't real I went ahead and peed my pants (luckily I didn't physically do it), and I felt a thrill in how it seemed real but knowing it wasn't. But people were glancing at my big wet spot, and I started getting a little uneasy as I considered that maybe they were real projections of those people, like they would have the memory of this when they woke up, so I kind of lost my grounding of reality at that point. It's hard not to when things look so real. Even if I had done the jump test I would have been like, "Yeah but why do they look so real??"

I woke up and had only been asleep for maybe 30 minutes. It felt surreal as I stood up and walked around not even feeling like I had been asleep.

So you made a wet spot lol, with another thought you could have also dried it.
Bet you didn think of that?

Hope you get more of 'em.
