Thread: Victory

Hi all,
I am going to give this a try. I am new here, as many can probably guess.
I can remember certain dreams from the early age of six or so. Certain images burned into the mind subject to recall from time to time. Some haunting some soothing all miraculously preserved for eternity.

I am here for the interest of discussing with others how your experiences with dreams may be similar or different to mine. I have been lucid dreaming since about age 11. Not knowing what to call them for the last 32 years, I simply referred to them as "flying dreams". I have taught my daughter to do this at age 8 and she claims to be quite good at it. No one really knows for sure except the dreamer of dreams.

I experienced many nightmares as a child. I had such vivid dreams that sleeping could sometimes be difficult. Reading now about the vivid nature of lucid dreaming, I wonder just how long I have been doing this without knowing it?

Of course I will be posting whatever dreams I can remember from here on out. My sleep patterns have been turned upside down lately for work reasons. However, this does lend itself to the opportunity to remember more dreams as the odd schedule can cause a recent dream to echo and be remembered in consciousness. We shall see.

As you may have guessed, I can fly in my dreams and I possess powers of telekinesis. I distinctly recall a flying sensation similar to falling. It is a weightlessness feeling. I can only say that my experiences falling is where I get this. But I would hold out that feeling to anyone wanting to lucid dream and fly. When you feel it, lift off. Running is another. Any physical sensation in a dream can be used. Your brain remembers from just a few hours ago what things should feel like, everything. Enter the explanation of the nocturnal emission? The telekinesis sensation will have to wait as I have not clearly defined it yet. I tried and realized that it will take some more thought to better and more fully explain it to those interested. If anyone else can help me with that, please do so. I have never met anyone who admits to being able to do this and feel it.

I have also noticed that sleep free of stress and during periods of happy life seem to create more lucid dreaming. If you are really stressed out about life or worried about something or someone or just generally insecure, you may find it very difficult to lucid dream. More precisely, I do it much more often during good times.

Enough for now. I shall return.

I had a dream two nights ago. I was at my old job with my wife. I was on security and she was working with the animals. We both worked with animals when we met and I am now working security.
We were in an unfamiliar place. Most of my dreams are this way. There was alot of new and unfinished construction( no need to explain that). We were also serving pizza. I have no idea. My wife cut herself on the wrapping, like a bad paper cut. It was raining. I had to make a radio report. I called for assistance but she said it would not be necessary. I radioed back and said "belay that last transmission." (unusual for my dreams.)
My wife's boss and his wife show up and they have these small model drag racers. One red, one blue. (Matrix reference?) I remember carefully studying the blue one. It was an antique looking 1940's model. I remember very vividly that it had potting soil in it like it was sitting in an old shed. These cars also were remote control and the reared up like snakes. I remembered looking at the small electric motors inside. My wife's boss mentioned that they would only be destroyed so we might as well keep them. This sounds like a reference to the cat we saved from euthanasia at the office. (My wife is a vet tech.)
This is all I remember.
I have been finding myself dreaming almost instantly as I nod off. I have been working from midnight to 8am so my sleep is off. I hope this improves.

I did get to sleep today and I do recall one dream. I was playing a game with someone. I do not know who. It seemed like a child. I am often a child myself ion my dreams. At least that is how I often understand myself in my dreams. I began to hover. I hover with my legs crossed like those Tibetan monks shown on TV. I can also move forward this way. I am showing off as only I seem to be able to do this in my dreams.

Then a game of chase began and I began to fly. I recall others claiming it was unfair. I began to fly around without any real purpose. I absolutely love doing this. Those who know know what I mean. I wish this for everyone. The world might be a better place. Learn to fly in your dreams.

I've been off in my sleep. My days off do that.

I did have a dream about being in a motor home and driving from Disney, FL. I was trying to get to the off ramp in the fog and could not see. I pulled over, had some technical dilemma and suddenly I was with my Mom on our old boat. I looked around and looked at my Mom (she has been deceased for about 11 years.) and said "I love this old boat". I touched the wood in the cabin and remarked that we needed to haul it out and do maintenance. I realized that it had been about 20 years since I was on this boat or had done any maintenance. I could smell the boat and feel the wood. I don't know if this qualifies as lucid.

It seems I am able to fly at will. I have been doing it more lately than any time in recent memory. I don't know if it is because I am spending more conscious time thinking about it or what. I haven't had any telekinesis though. Maybe I should try applying the conscious thought technique to it also.

I need to start writing down the dreams sooner. I can only remember bits and pieces when I get to this journal. I do remember flying today, but that is about all. I have been in some very interesting dreamscapes lately. I want to remember more of that too.

Bear with me.

Weird dream. I was on an island separated from the mainland by a body of water large enough to require a boat. There was an army preparing either an assault or a terrorist attack. They had been active on this island for a while without real action. I recall searching through underground bunkers looking for clues to their plans. I found a lower cellar with a cellar door like that of a house. I entered and found large missiles and other tubes which seemed like missile launchers. There was also a denonation plunger like in the old westerns. I assumed the load was rigged. I scrambled out being careful not to trip anything and went about warning everyone. I also found two women that I knew and instructed them to leave the island. I recall sending them off in a boat and them making me promise to follow. But then I recall them insisting, while on the other side, that someone send an unmanned boat back to get "him" as he stayed on the island to destroy the munitions. I recall thinking that if I just sent a boat in the general direction, that I would get it eventually. I was the one sending myself a boat. I was actually two people in this dream.
I don't ever remember this feeling of being two people before. I wonder if it is new? I could have flown from one island to the other, but I think the stress of having some task undone clouded the "reality" of the dream. I was distracted. I forgot to realize that it was a dream.
