Last night I had my first lucid dream in months. I woke up in what looked like the Matrix loading room- all white, with a door at each end and a Morpheus-looking guy waiting for me.
Now I think part of my problems with ld's is that in the back of my mind I'm always half afraid that it will turn into a lucid nightmare and I won't be able to escape. This has actually happened several times and it isn't fun.
Back to my dream, I went up to the dc and asked him to stand in front of the door I just came through to get to the dream. He smiled, nodded, and went to guard the door. As it happened, that was the longest, most enjoyable ld I have ever experienced. I think it was because I placed Morpheus as a guard to my dream so nothing unpleasant could enter. Has anyone else had something similar?
