    My lucid comeback!

    Facing a nightmare [11/07/14]

    Last night I had some difficulties falling asleep again and DR wasn't the best but I must say the dream that I had felt and still feels quiet important to me.

    1. Stand and fight

    I'm somewhere in California or just somewhere in America with large forests and warm temperatures, it's sunset and I'm enjoying a walk through the forest. I cross some small crooks using small bridges made of 4 logs. I feel like this is summer camp or something and I'm pretty young. (I never went to camps when I was younger IRL.) Suddenly the dream teleports me, I'm back myself and I'm in the same forest but a different location. As I look down the very long dirt road infront of me with at the end a road and buildings (Mabye 250 meters far?) I hear a growl behind my back. I turn around and see a large dark bear standing there, he stares at me with a hungry expression. For 3 seconds I'm frozen and thinking about the best thing to do, my rational minds tells me to remain steady and stare back cause that's what you're told to do when you see a bear, yeah? But my instinct is more powerfull and forces me to run the other way as fast as I can. After 5 seconds of running I realise I made the wrong decision and now the bear thinks I'm a prey, I hear his growling getting closer and closer and his footsteps smashing the ground beneath him. 20 meters further I feel my legs are extremely tired and I know I can't run from this thing, he will tear me in pieces!
    But then the most important part of the dream happens, atleast what I think makes it so special. I turn around and see the bear storming at me and he's about 5 meters away from me, I quickly grab a pocket knife (IRL I've never had one.) and try pulling the knife out of the device. I think to myself "If I can't run away from you, then I will not give up without a fight." By the time I ready the knife the bear is just 1 meter infront of me and tries to attack. I dodge it and stab him in his upper neck, the knife barely pierces the thick fur and leathery skin but I see some blood. The bear keeps attacking and after several more stabbings the dream teleports again and I look down on the corpse of the bear, which is completly covered in blood.


    Now the reason why I think this dream is so important is cause I just defeated a true nightmare, for the first time in my life. I don't have to worry about it returning or something cause I ended it right then and there. It also shows a bit of who I am as a person I think, I like to ignore and walk away from problems that aren't extremely important but when they do get big I usually solve them really well.

      I always had a re-occurring dream about living in a house, generally on the bottom floor, which had several levels of bedrooms above filled with spiders. Years of dreaming about various versions of this house and the unavailability of these rooms because I was afraid of spiders. I thought of answers in normal waking, like arming myself with a vacume, and vacuuming them all up, or spraying poison ahead of me and opening up the floors. But when I dreamed of it, I never applied my waking methods.
      But recently I had the dream where I actually had the courage to just go up and clean every room. And when I woke up from that, feeling that I had done something I couldn't have done for decades, I got a job offer from a house cleaning company, and accepted it. I'm not sure about the symbology, but I know I'll never have the reoccurring dream again too.
      And to have a house with so many bedrooms, all clean and ready for inhabitation, has produced a great feeling about my future that I haven't had before.
      We know the meaningful dreams because they affect our waking reality, I think.

      Interesting story you have there, I know it feels different than just a random dream, it had consequence and I know if I hadn't killed that bear it would've probably returned in my dreams over and over till I finished it.
