Hi, I'm Tiffany and I have been having lucid dreams for as long as I can remember. As a child I assumed that everyone dreamt in similar ways and like normal dreams they come and they go. Up until recently I never thought too much about it and just go with the flow while sleeping with varying control of my dreams.
About 4 months ago though I had my first out of body experience. I found the transition to that state profoundly disturbing and then got stuck in somewhat of a loop between my physical body and, well, the ceiling fan (or the floor). When I understood what I was experiencing I naturally tried to take control of the situation with no success and eventually went into a panic. Realizing my physical body was in paralysis the cycle of vibrations, rotating out of my body and either hitting the floor or drifting into the ceiling fan speed up to a nauseating speed until I finally (felt like it would never stop) found myself standing in a beautiful green field with the wind blowing softly.
Being fascinated with that experience, I started looking into different dream states and eventually found myself here.
Since, I have had a good handful of OBEs and my usual amount of LDs and normal dreams, though the dreams have not been normal by my standards.
What i can't figure out is why all the sudden I've had this change. In younger years I have dabbled in various mind altering, uh, 'helpers' and have communicated non verbally with two other like minds. I have not done anything like that in years, and one of the two people who I have done this with I have not spoken with for years as well. Yet one month ago the morning after having an OBE in which I felt a deep connection to him, he contacted me.
The last coupled of months I've felt there is something my body is trying to tell me but I can't for the life of me figure it out! Any thoughts, similar experiences? Looking for that clue that will make it all come together or at least settle my mind.
