Thread: Long and scary

Hey people, this is my first post. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Onironot and you are?

OK, so, I haven't had a lucid dream in a very long time, months even. I been working on WILD's, haven't done that in 18 years, I usually work with MILD but think I may have found a way to force the imagery from the hypnagogic state to become vivid very rapidly but I’m still working on it. I stumbled upon it as I was trying to WILD. I'll post that once I'm sure that it works as an actual technique.

Here's my dream.

First off I want to say that it was the longest lucid dream (up until this point) and the scariest nightmare that I have ever had.

I'm dreaming now.

I'm standing on top of a grassy hill and it's very sunny and clear out. This tree that is right next to me is so present that it takes all of my attention. It's one of those trees that doesn't grow straight. It's curved over to the left and has this patter on it that I just cant make out. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The thought that was running threw my mind was "what is so strange about this tree?" Then I thought "This tree is so vivid, why is it standing out?" That’s when I realized I was doing a RC. I'm looking at the tree, I'm looking at the green grass, everything is so crystal clear. Looks beautiful. I'm looking over the hill now and see the shore line and a bunch of very exotic creatures just walking back and forth. I thought I was dreaming but I still was not sure. I then think to myself "This must be where life was created"

I noticed my dog and called out to her but she wouldn't listen. I then called her again but she didn't listen, I did a RC then asked myself "where was I before this?" I dismissed that thought and called out to my dog again. She flew up on to the hill. I noticed her wings and thought "I must be dreaming" but I still wasn't sure. I then took a good look at her wings. They weren't feathered wings. They were an extension of her as she is. So they were nice and tight and made of dog skin and hair (13' Lemon Beagle) The wings were very cool looking. They fit her perfectly. My flying dog still didn't convince me so I took another look over the hill to see what I was looking at before and my dog was down there without any wings.

She was moving closer to a nest that was on some rocks. She was stretching her neck to get a better look. The thought that was running threw my mind was "that must be how she grew her wings. This place is where life started and my dog must have morphed when she touched the animal in the nest". Then I thought "How can she have grown wings by touching this animal now when she doesn't have wings now and she had wings before, If this is what happened prior to her getting wings then I must be in the past" I then thought "I must be dreaming but why am I not sure?"
I decided to do another RC. I wanted to fly to make sure. I turned around and as I was about to jump up I noticed a man walking in the distance and was embarrassed to do a RC. I was so convinced that I was dreaming but yet I wasn't sure. I did the RC in spite of it all and presto, I'm up in the air. I hovered there for a few seconds then turned around and faced the water. I hovered there after I turned around then flew. I moved so fast it was like I was shot out of a cannon. As I flew over the top of the water, I put my hand in it to touch it. It felt so cool, I then flew straight up and hovered again as I shouted "God tell me something!". I noticed the clouds as I said that and thought to my self "I'm in my SC" and I wanted to say something very profound but the scenery changed on me.

I was in an ally-way that was supposed to be a back yard. A bunch of friends and other people were having a BBQ. I was so aware that I was dreaming that the scenery scared me. I was truly watching every DC interact independently and maintained that I was dreaming the whole time. I usually rush threw my LD’s but this time I was taking my time. As I was going inside a few of my friends were about to come out. I told them all that I had to show them something. I went outside first and before they came out I jumped to the top of the house and touched the gutter. I lost lucidity for a second and told them all I had to show them this thing that I could do (fly). I then regained lucidity and as they were coming out I went back in. I looked around a bit then seen a red lighter on a small table. As I grabbed the lighter I noticed my aunt going up the stairs so I kissed her on the cheek. I then told myself I was dreaming.

Now I’m back outside. My friend Manny took the lighter from me and told me not to smoke. I said “no I have to smoke this because I have to show you something”. I then reminded myself that I was dreaming and stopped talking to him. I then noticed that I was the only one without shoes on. I was in my socks and they were getting dirty. I decided to go back inside and put on some shoes. I’m upstairs with my mother now and I’m starting to feel afraid. I felt as if the dream was taking forever and it was so real that I felt like I would never wake up. I closed my eyes and shook my head and said “wake up” but I didn’t wake up. I said to my mother “mom, I think I’m dead”. She disagreed then I said “I’ll prove it” so I looked at my dog (who was black and brown now but she’s white and tan in real life) and I said “say something” and my dog said “I’m chocking”. I looked at my mother and said “see?” then I noticed my dog had some weird metal thing around her neck and it looked like it was chocking her. Then my dog said “my daddy died” and I said “what daddy, your dog daddy or your human daddy?” She said “my human daddy. He died an hour ago and I’m getting separation anxiety” then she started to shake and then she died.

I immediately thought “my dog is home alone dying because I’m dead and she’s heart broken”. I started to feel freaked out. I looked at my mom and told her that I think I died in my car cause that’s where I last remember being before I started dreaming (the funny part is that I was referring to the dream prior to this whole thing. I was in my car at a ATM machine in that dream) She looked at me and said “well then, lets go have a little coffee for the dead then” she said it in Spanish. Her face changed and she smiled. I thought “she’s not really my mother, she’s the grim reaper come to take me away” I excepted my fate (kind of) and gave her a ride on my back down the stairs. As she got on my back I felt her arm come out of the socket but knew that non of this was real so I didn’t care. When I got outside my mother wasn’t with me anymore. I stood there and thought to myself “I must be dying. This is what they are talking about when they say you can live a lifetime in a dream in the last few minutes right before you’re actually dead”

I looked at all my friends and people that were at the BBQ and decided to announce that I was dead. I said (in Spanish) “listen, look and see” then my friend Jr. said “look and see” (in Spanish) then I stated my first, middle and last name “has died at the age of” and then I stated my age. I realized that nobody ells was listening to me and I felt sad because I figured they were all figments of my imagination and these were the last few seconds of my life. So I ran towards the crowd, they were dancing and I noticed that they all had their backs towards me. That made me sad as I thought (again) they are all in my imagination and I’m about to die. I decided to fly over them and go up to my final destination (where ever that was) but then I felt myself fading and I got really scared and felt like crying and I kept thinking “I cant believe I’m about to die”.

I woke up freezing, my heart was racing and I had to get out of bed and go smoke a cigarette to calm down.

I learned something that night that I applied to the following night of dreaming and I had about 4 dreams, all lucid. I kind of figured out how to extend the time in my LD’s (I think ) I’m still working on it to make sure though.

Thanks for reading…..
