Dreaming LIFE

•  Putting my hands through the floor as a "Am I really dreaming?" test 
• Jumping up and putting my head through the ceiling (although I couldn’t see my upstairs neighbors apt)
• Flying and Floating around - this is probably one of the most satisfying activities to do once you can control yourself in a dream.
• Getting up out of my bed and walking around my room
• Grabbing other dream characters by the shoulders and excitedly shouting to them "I’m dreaming! I’m dreaming!" This is what I did in my very first lucid dream, and the character in the dream was a friend of mine who was also trying to have lucid dreams that night.
• Sex, Kissing. No need to elaborate here.
• Attempting to change my entire environment - very hard. I’ve had little to no success with this one yet.
• Memorizing the license plate number of a vehicle I had fallen alseep in and then "woke up" inside of, in a lucid dream. I then woke up from the dream, remembering the plate number I saw in the dream, and excitedly hoped to see the same plate on the truck in real life. Guess what? It didn’t work.
• Seeing myself in a mirror and then realizing I’m lucid. My reflection was hardly there. I attempted to control my breathing as a means of gaining more control and lucidity. I could feel both bodies breathing - the dream body, and my body sleeping on the bed. I soon wake up in fear of sleep paralysis.
 

July 23 1999

 

I was standing in my room, astral traveling. I knew I was really dreaming, but I was really standing up. I looked at the window and thought about jumping through it because it wouldn’t matter since this was a dream. At that moment I woke up laying on my bed with my head on the side of the bed pointing towards where the door opens, and a pillow under me as usual. I remember opening my eyes and the feeling of WAKING, of separation, of coming back into reality was very…FELT in me. I was sort of confused, but amazed, but at the same time too tired to have any real thoughts about it. Then I remember waking up AGAIN and turning around in my sleep. What really had happened was I dreamt I was astral traveling, dreamt I woke up, and then woke up in real life. I remember waking up FOR REAL this time, and thinking that I felt way too heavy and tired to actually be walking around. I do have a memory of standing up next to my bed and feeling my arms asleep, thinking I am not really awake. I do not know if I slept walk or if I dreamt that. I also remember dreaming up DREAM WORLDS where everything was floating and it was in a spaceless land, no floor, no ceiling. Their were flat/spherical stone like steps floating around, it was like a comic book. I remember waking up, acknowledging the fact that this was a dream world.
