Thread: The unknown gift / A very strange lucid experience

In my dream I held a gift for someone in my hand. It was wrapped in light grey paper and tied with silver ribbon. It felt like it contained a roll of papers, but I didn't know what it was. Then I thought, if I brought this gift for someone, how can I not know what is inside? This must be a dream!

Immediately I found myself in bed waking... or so I thought. It was not my actual bed, but I didn't realize. So I just lay there and let myself fall back to sleep in order to continue the lucid dream. It didn't. Instead everything went black and my body started buzzing intensely. I commanded myself: "Lucidity now!", but the blackness persisted and I woke up (dreaming) again briefly. This waking / falling asleep repeated a few times, then I decided to lie this out. So I slipped back into blackness and the buzz gradually fell over my body like a blanket drawn up from feet to head. It became more and more intense until it was nearly unbearable. Then I began to move like a magnet that is pushed away by another. I opened my eyes and found myself moving through the room I was in, still lying on the bed which moved with me... or did the room move around its content? Fear caught me, I couldn't wake up fully anymore. The dream swapped over into my assumed waking reality. I was trapped. I awoke in my actual loft and made a reality check... positive. I was awake and wrote down the experience in my diary. This is a summary of it.

And the moral of the story is... always do an RC when waking up or your dreams gonna fool you. That was a pretty intense experience and I could feel a weaker echo of the buzz in my body even after waking up.

SOunds like your subcon had pretty much fun that night. ^^

About the Buzz, I guess that was sleep paralysis, thta would explain why you also felt it when waking up. You got out of the dream too fast, so the Sleep Paralysis hadn't gone off completely as you woke up

Hmmm, well at least you had an interesting expirience. I LOVE it when dreams have an intense emotion to it. Yesterday I had a dream that intruders came to my school and found a way to cut off the electricity, put steel over the windows, and lock all the doors, so everyone was in pitch black. Everyone was terrified because we were all going to die. I LOVED the feeling of fear and adrenalin I expirienced in it.

Anyways, the point is, it's always cool to feel emotion, even if it is fear,
it makes things interesting.

I'd have preferred a lucid state where I am able to act by choice, but it was educational.
