Been awhile guys! How yall doing?
So this time i'm gonna talk about lucid dreaming. Have you guys ever done it? Following those set of techniques on the internet that supposedly can help you do that? Well if you did, and did so succesfully, then great! Ive read about it once where they say that if you fail at one of the steps, you'd get stuck in sleep paralysis. But this post is not about that. I wanna share a story about my experience on lucid dreaming. I got the idea to make this blogpost after watching higatv's off the pill podcast on youtube, and i was like "oh i did this once".
So, as an adult, i think i've never had a lucid dream to be honest. My last lucid dream was rather short and i think i've only ever had like 2 or 3 lucid dreams. So the earliest one i can remember was this rather unpleasant dream. As a kid, i started getting annoyed when having forced to go to other people's parties. So at this dream i was forced to go to one party. It was an outdoor party with some kind of stone paved hallway and it was at night. I remember feeling very unpleasant being in that party, and suddenly it triggers. I remember thinking "this is a dream, i was sleeping in my bedroom". Afterwards, with the limited imagination i had at that time, i kinda "make" the scenery change. But whatever i did it still feels unpleasant. So that's it, my first lucid came with he power to change scenery. Mind you all, this was done when i was like 8 or 9 so it might just be a really weird dream, but i remember this sense of control i have when doing the scenery change thingy.
Okay, so the second one was years later, probably between 14-16. Around that time i was gettig tired rather frequently. I would just go to the sofa and took a short nap, and i would have a short dream about me falling from a cliff and then crashed to the bottom, and when i did, my real body would jolt and i would suddenly forced awake. I hear that this kind if dream is not unusual, people have this dream when they're really tired or something. So in the span of few days or weeks, i had this dream 2 or 3 times more until one day, and this time it was when i was really sleeping, i decided to do something in it.
The dream started normally. I was getting forced to jump from a cliff with a grassy meadow and it was really high and i cant see the bottom. And sure enough, i started falling. But when i almost hit the bottom, i realized that this scene already happened before. So instead i conciously imagine conjuring a parachute and i succesfully landed on the bottom.
After talking about this topic and also listening to that podcast by ryan, i think it's clear that to do lucud dreams, you need a trigger inside the dream to be able to realize that you are inside a dream. But nevertheless, the feeling of full control inside a dream is just... Awesome!!
Tl;dr lucid dreams need triggers and are awesome
And so the next post will be about me finish defending my thesis, bye!
