these have been occuring for me lately. it’s really pretty sweet.
i used to be really fascinated by reports of lucid dreams when i was younger, read a lot of books about it, used to try to induce it etc. i think i might’ve had one, but i never really could do it at will.
the last few weeks i’ve had i think about three lucid dreams just out of the blue. it’s really bizarre, because you realize you’re dreaming within the context of the dream. i kind of get a fuzzy thought “i think this might be a dream”, i concentrate on it and everything comes into sharper focus and becomes quite real, yet…not quite real. last night i tested it by jumping down a big flight of stairs because i knew i wouldn’t get hurt. then of course i tried flying, which was incredible. i was flying down the street i used to live on as a kid. it really was intense! i could feel the wind against my face and everything. i was wobbly in the air though and kept getting caught up in branches or telephone wires.
it seems something like a skill you can develop. like riding a bike or something. i can’t really choose where to be, or who i want to be with or anything like that. it’s like the dream land has it’s own rules, but the rules are crazy and you sort of conciously play along with it. and the stranger and dreamier the dream, the better!
anyway, anybody else have these kind of dreams?
