This is by far the most intense and cryptic lucid dream I have had by far. Many of the finer points and details have been obscured by time, but the feelings and the inexplicable fear and curiousity that I felt will stay with me for a lot longer.

As a back story, my friends and I have always discussed what it would be like if we could use a greater percentage of our brain. I always speculated that we could unlock a deeper perspective on the universe, or abilities to perceive things outside the normal, motive driven perception of the general populous. By using more of our brain, would we gain abilities that only complete, objective understanding could bring like flight, telekinesis, or even be able to exert control over the subconscious? If so, can we unlock this holistic view of existence by venturing within ourselves, maybe even through lucid dreaming?

I became lucid while walking down a dark street. I was contemplating the very question described above. Is there some way where I gain a deeper understanding of myself by journeying within? I turned into an alley between two buildings, and came to a large, metal, roll down security door, closely monitored by two cloaked figures. I felt a great significance about this door. I felt that maybe to get through this door could hold some answer that I was searching for. It felt like it could even have a bearing on waking life somehow. As I approached the door, the cloaked figures acknowledged my presence by staring at me with unseen eyes. I began to ask what the door was, and what was behind it, when the cloaked figures moved at a great speed toward me. For some reason, it gives me goosebumps just thinking back on it and how irrationally unsettling it was to have these mysterious entities coming toward me. As soon as they converged on me I woke up. I usually don't wake up so suddenly from a lucid dream, I generally lose lucididy before coming back to the real world. I told a couple friends about thte dream and they told me to go back to the door, which I will.

My only problem is that even though I know I am lucid dreaming, and I understand that my dreams are for the most part under my complete control, I still sometimes have trouble exerting my control over them, and I get scared of what's happening. Kinda like trying to fly into space and realizing how high I am and getting scared and falling. Even though I know its a dream and I can keep going, I get scared of going so high. I just wanted to share this and maybe get an opinion about this dream and hear some comments about how crazy it sounds Thanks for reading.
