Several months ago I had my first lucid dream after seeing Richard Linklater's "Waking Life"(2001). The guide I had read the night before (the first guide I ever read about the subject) said that if your LD starts to fade, you can sometimes regain lucidity by demanding, out loud, "More clarity!". In this particular instance I was dreaming I was in my back yard and when something triggered lucidity, every blade of grass instantly became as clear as if I had super-human vision, and greener than any green I had ever seen. I was extremely excited, so when the vision started to fade, I yelled out (in the dream), "More clarity!" Suddenly the entire vision, instead of reverting to the previous image, became highly "pixelized" like a small mpg video had been blown up full screen or like I was seeing out of a fly's eyeball. I noticed that each tiny pixel contained the entire moving picture and realized that the dream gods were playing tricks on me--- I started to laugh so hard it woke me up! |
