I had a lucid dream the other night, not much of one, but still. It’s interesting, I’ve had like, three or four now, and they’ve all started off with me in bed.
I remember falling asleep, or I remember thinking I remember falling asleep, my body goes all pins and needles right before I drift off, maybe I feel this every night but only when I have a lucid dream do I remember it? I can always feel back to my body in these dreams too, like you might focus on an arm or a leg to see if it hurts slightly or not when awake, I can feel back to it and, interestingly, feel what position I’m sleeping in. Feeling back to my body, it’s always all pins and needles. I like that though, I’ve never had it wake me up. In lucid dreams the thing that most worries me is always the possibility that I’m not dreaming, and that I’m actually walking around just freaking people out.
But yeah, I remember waking up in bed and going “huh, is this a dream? Sure feels like one.” I checked my hands, and they were normal, then I checked them again, still normal, checked them again cause I was sure, and a finger was missing. It didn’t last long after that though, I got up, (always a weird sensation, like someone in a bad sitcom who’s just been hit by a car and is now watching themselves) walked to the door of my room, tried to see if I could push myself through it (It worked last time…) then, failing that, opened it, stepped out into the hall. I made sure it was still a dream so I didn’t wake up mum, and then realised it was fading.
That bit was interesting, I didn’t wake up, I just realised it was fading into another dream. I don’t think I tried to prolong it or anything, just let it go.
