Wake Induced Lucid:
I was up alot last night because of a problem with one of our cats (Burns, I'll be PMing you shortly for advice ), and around 5am I drifted off to sleep quite quickly, so I was still pretty aware of what was going on. I wasn't sure if I was asleep yet, because I could still feel myself lying in my bed, and I could feel my closed eyelids, and it was dark. Then suddenly I felt like I was flying through space so, even though I still couldn't see, I knew I was dreaming. Since it was really dark, I shouted "More Lucidity!" over and over again (and I was sooo afraid that the shouting carried over into real life, but I'm pretty sure it didn't), and each time I shouted, I could see a bit more, then a bit more etc until I saw that I was in my old bedroom at my parents' house. But my vision, like it almost always is, was really blurry. And my eyes had the feeling of being really dry, so I felt the need to blink them alot, and keep them mostly closed, so I couldn't really see much. Then I saw a cat dart across the floor. I had the fear that if I really committed to opening my eyes, that my real life eyes would open and I would wake up. This has been a continuing problem for me. So I decided to go ahead and risk it this time, because let's face it, it's not really worth it to LD if they are always low-quality. So I opened my eyes and WOW! I didn't wake up in real life, I could finally SEE! And my old bedroom was as clear as crystal. I went to the mirror to see if my eyes would be all wonky, but they looked fine. I looked like me, with bed hair lol. I didn't see a cat so I went to the bed, pointed my finger at one corner of it and said 'Ramona,' and naturally, my stubborn conscious made her appear on the OTHER bed corner. HAHA, just like the real me: I'm cooperative, but it has to be my way. I picked her up and she looked so sweet and it felt so good to hold her again that I made the mistake of closing my eyes and I kinda drifted awake heh. Oh well. BUT the cool thing I learned is that I will no longer be afraid to shout in a lucid, nor will I be afraid to open my eyes wide. I'll take the risk of potentially waking up because it's worth it.
A non lucid I had earlier was about Mitz, and she mailed me a box of her dirty laundry for me to clean, then I had to send it back to her by Monday (even though I found out that she really didn't need it until Thursday) so I was kinda mad, but I did it anyway. And Chris flooded the lawn.
Oh and later I dreamt that I posted this LD, and even looked in the mirror again to check my eyes, but I didn't go lucid that time.
