Fri 3/19 to Sat 3/20I decided to change the name of this section of my site to Dream Log, since Lucid Dreaming was kinda inaccurate, since I never lucid dreamed successfully while keeping this dream diary. Until now! Yes, this past Friday night, when I was sleeping in a sleeping bag on a mat on the floor at my cousin's apartment by UC Berkeley, I briefly lucid dreamed. I went to sleep pretty early this night, around 9:41 pm. I woke up once around 3:45 am, used the bathroom, and then went back to sleep. I started dreaming, and there was one part where I was outside and there was a lot of people. It was some sort of event. But I remember thinking, hmm, isn't this event supposed to happen some time in the future? Then I thought, what if I'm dreaming? Though I wasn't sure, I reasoned further, if I'm asking myself this question and I'm not sure of the answer, I'm probably dreaming! What the heck, let me assume I'm dreaming and try something crazy! So I thought, "I want to fly," and then I started lifting up into the air, going higher and higher. Yes! I was dreaming and I was in control! But I was still asleep. I was up in the air, high above a body of water, probably the San Fran Bay. Then I descended a bit so I could see more details of the land below me. Then I tried to do something inappropriate and I woke up. You might wonder, did I really lucid dream or did I just remember my dream fairly clearly? I really think I did briefly lucid dream because I realized I might be in a dream. Then I confirmed I was in a dream by trying to do something impossible (flying) in real life and succeeding. I honestly believe this brief scene was my first lucid dreaming experience. Post Comment |
