Thread: Childhood Lucidity??

I once had an LD. I dreamt that I was standing somewhere and the background was all colourfull, I could see myself both from 1st and from 3d person view and I was talking to some silver flying bubble whom said to me that I'm dreaming. At first I didn't believe him and said that if I'm dreaming then if I pinch myself I wouldn't feel pain. I pinched myself and I didn't. And I said to the bubble: well if I'm dreaming then I probably wake up right? and I woke up. LOL

I remember many. I had lots of recurring lucid nightmares that I finally overcame when I was around 6-7 years old. They included being trapped in a fire in my daycare, being alone in a moving car, being approached by a man with antlers, being chased around my grandparents' house by living salt and pepper shakers, trapped in a dark house, and the lightswitches didn't work, news anchor coming out of the TV... I always woke myself up in the end until I figured out how to stop the dreams from becoming nightmares. I also had some good lucid dreams about playing with other kids, wandering around the neighborhood, and flying. I remember way too many lucid dreams from age 7 and up that were not recurring, too many to write down.

omg a man with antlers?!?

I had many LDs as a child. One of my favs from my teen years was this LD in which I trekked through the small towns where I grew up. I know it was around yearbook time so I think that influenced the "interface", if you can call it that. I participated in several stories (finding romance at a high school reunion, road-tripping across the USA after graduation and going to a friend's funeral) that were associated with pictures I viewed from a really old yearbook in the dream. That LD was a particularly involved one that flowed like a good movie. Probably the best one I've ever had.
