Lucid Dream Success

I had my first controlled Lucid Dream last night. I’ve had lucid dreams in the past, but I’ve always lost control of them as soon as I’ve realised I’m dreaming. It’s utterly frustrating. But last night. Well, I remember a golden sea front, with a market-place atop the break-wall. The sun was low, and hitting the face of the market, lighting up with golden rays, the stonework of the wall and the citadel which the market was at the foot of.

Then — an event — (I’m not saying what) triggered me to think that perhaps I was dreaming. I did a reality check by looking at my watch. It was beautiful, gold, and with no hands. “That’s a watch I couldn’t afford.”, I thought. Whereupon the watch started to age, it turned a tin-like colour and started to oxidise and crack. Then the wind picked up speed, and started blowing leaves across the market. “Ah, I’m losing the dream. I’m not lifting yet, so that’s cool. Now, what do I need to do to stabalise this world? Ah yes, I need to start running.”, I thought. I started to jog back down the front of the market place, to the stall where the previous event had occured, only to find that the stall had disappeared, upped and left. So I toyed around with some elements of the world, and then decided to wake up so I could record the details of my dream.

I lifted so gently out of the world, and so softly, as the layers of the dream were replaced with reality. I didn’t even need to rush to write the dream into my journal, I remember it as clearly now as if I was there… Reality check…  No, I’m definately here :)

I’ve already acted upon the event in the dream, seeing it as a nudge to get back in touch with a close friend. And, I feel very refreshed and renewed.
