Alright, I have stuff to do, but for my NT brethren, I shall procrastinate.
I started lucid dreaming more consistently after the first time I realized that I was in a dream. Okay, that's basic, but a lot of your dreams are similar in some ways. Whether it be location, situation, whatever. In my first lucid dream (that I assumed control), I recognized that I was at my old home, a place that I moved from a decade ago. Not just that, but this was a dream that I had several times before. It realized I must be dreaming. Your body usually starts to wake up, but you can literally tell it that you'd rather stay asleep and you will. I've always wondered why your mind doesn't want you to have control of your dreams or would wake you up, but I'm sure it has something to do with insanity and reality... (That's another topic in itself.) After that, you just have to train yourself to notice any subtle indication that you are dreaming and you can snap out of it. Maybe it's seeing a long lost loved one or maybe its because you're hanging with Yeezy at your old school. Somethings gotta be a dead giveaway.
Now onto the stories.. (Don't laugh)
1) This was part of the first lucid dream that I just mentioned. I'm running around like a little kid at my old place, although significantly older. I realize that I'm dreaming and begin to wake up. It's like your body is lifting and the dream fades... You can tell that you are waking up.I tell myself to stay asleep and it works. (And works almost every time.) So I decide to do some investigating in the dream world. Some NTers decide to fly around (I've never done that) and some people just continue the dream however they please, acting out their wildest desires. I, being perplexed with this newfound ability, decide to explore.
I am in a city. I venture into a dark alley and ascend some grimey steps. I enter a large steel door and this is where things instantly get creepy. I feel like I'm no longer in my dream. It's as if the door led to another dimension or maybe a compartment of my mind. I'm not racist or a bad person, so I don't believe it's the latter... But let me share what I saw.
I walk into a dark room. There are strange men all around me. They are all of the same height and draped in black and red robes. They are also all identical and perfectly aligned in some sort of religious formation. Painted white skin, no pupils, bald head. The most peculiar thing were the swatstika's etched crudely into their heads, trickling blood down their faces. It was surreal. They didn't move, but I had the eerie feeling that they were watching me and that I wasn't supposed to be here. This dream was the most frightening thing I've ever experienced, awake or asleep. It was pure evil. I ran out of the room and asked myself to wake up. I did.
2) The "Inception" dream is silly, but to be in a dream that's in a dream that's in a dream, is an amazing feat of the mind. I'll sum it up as quickly as possible. I interned in Pittsburgh over the summer and I'm sleeping in my bed. I get up and have to use the bathroom. (Yeah, one of those dreams.) I pull the sheets off of my body and stumble to the bathroom. I whip it out and start pissing. I instantly wake up. (I'm not a bed wetter and the bed is dry, so don't get any ideas.)
I check the area, and yeah, no piss. But I'm thinking, well I better go take a leak because this is obviously my body telling me to get the hell up and relieve myself. I pull the sheets off of my body and stumble to the bathroom. I'm looking around and something is different. I don't remember what it is but I know something is not right. I assume it's just because I'm so tired and I'm positive that I just woke up from the dream... so I just carry on. I finish and decide to open up my laptop that's sitting on my desk. I look around my room again. Something isn't right! My body starts to wake up. I try to stop it, but I'm late and miss my chance to stay in the dream and assume control.
I wake up... AGAIN. I'm still in my bed, under my covers, and still needing to piss.
A dream within a dream within a dream. That was crazy.
Eh, there ya go. I hope you enjoyed those epic novels. My flame suit is on.
