My Lucid Dreaming Story

So, a few nights ago, I had a half-lucid dream. For those of you who don't know what lucid dreams are, they are dreams in which you are aware you're dreaming and can control the dream.

It was half-lucid because I'm not sure if I was aware that I was dreaming, but I controlled it. But that may have very well been the dream. Jeez, I sound fancy! But anyway, that dream's not important, the only thing I really remember of it's lucidity was that my mouth tasted bad so I made it minty fresh. Yup. That's what I do in a world I can create all magical, get minty fresh breath. I have such high aspirations...

But it was interesting, because before I had fallen asleep, I said out loud: I will have a lucid dream! I will! And when I woke up in the morning I was like: OMG!

So, last night, I told my friend Alicia about it (we're on vacation in Maine) and decided we'd try it. So before falling asleep I said, “I will have a lucid dream and it will be awesome!” I demanded it. And all the websites I've read on lucid dreaming say it takes like months of training. And I'm a very lazy person, so I decided I'd live without lucid dreaming.

But here we are, and I had a freaking lucid dream without training, I'm freaking awesome, b*****s.

So in the dream, I was back in school. But I'm going into high school, and my subconscious doesn't know what the high school will look like, so it put me back in middle school. I was editor of the newspaper last year, and in the dream, Ms. Roche, the newspaper teacher, was discussing who would be the editor this year. And she nominated me again. And I didn't want to, and there was a reason... but what?

Oh yeah! I'm going into high school, why am I here? I told them that but no one would listen and I was like, I can't be editor! I'm going into ninth grade! Ahhhh! And then I snapped my fingers in realization (which I can't do when awake) and said, “Oh! I'm dreaming, that's why!”

The realization didn't wake me up, like a lot of the sites said it would. The picture got clearer though, like, lucid dreams are HD or something. And I kind of felt myself become more aware, like I could look around the scene instead of being focused on the one subject I was dreaming about. I noticed I was in my fifth grade classroom (which I actually just realized now.)

Lucid dreaming is like being in another world entirely, it's a world I created when I fell asleep, filled with things only my subconscious can bring to life.

Again, I sound freaking fancy here!

But back to the dream.

Ms. Roche had made me stand up in front of the classroom, and I hadn't wanted to. But because I had no control over the dream, I couldn't move from where I stood, my feet had the cinder block effect going on. So when I realized I was dreaming, I said, “I'm gonna sit down now!” And I skipped happily to my desk.

And I had memories of my waking life, though I was still asleep. I remembered I had wanted to dream about One Direction. So, when I sat down, I thought in a commanding voice: And now One Direction walks in.

And the classroom door opened... and in walks... some kid who was supposed to be Liam.

Before bed I had watched a parody of What Makes You Beautiful, which was offensive, yet funny. And the 'Liam' was the one from that video. And I was like: No. Just, no.

And then I thought: Rewind. And get this, all the people who were talking in the dream started talking all high pitched and fast and backward. 'Liam' walk backward and out the door and then it stopped. And I thought again: And now One Direction walks in.

And in walks Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, imposter Liam, because apparently I couldn't change that, and I don't know if Niall and Zayn were there.

They sat down at the teacher's desk, and the teacher was no longer Ms. Roche, I don't know who she was. And I was so excited that One Direction had come because I demanded them to, that I was lucid dreaming, that I forgot to stay aware and fell back into a new dream, and asleep.

So. To lucid dream.

Demand it, and stay aware.

Also, imposter Liam is ugly. :(

Aww...congrats! Lucid dreaming is in HD, fullscreen and full color palette instead of dreams as such. With time you will get better at that, but at some point real life could get too boring :D At some point you could be able to build up your dream entirely from zero – tick – and everything fades to gray – tick - and dream as requested have been built with control over every atom – not far from “Inception”. A good place to write your next novel :D As there are no rules, nor physics it's fun to experiment. You just need to know that there is no to switch them off.

Does time even pass by as quickly as regular dreaming? Or would you not know cuz you let it slip away?
Anyway, sounds pretty cool, guess it has to be your type of thing to enjoy it though

I've had a few lucid dreams. Usually I can always know that I'm dreaming, but I can't usually control my dreams like that. I have a few times, though. Like, for instance, last night I dreamed and I knew I was dreaming, but as far as I know I on't recall being able to control it. Funny thing is Zayn was in my dream. *sigh* Us and our One Direction obsession. I always dream about Zayn for some reason, even though he is my least favorite. Wierd!
(Sorry, this was kind of rambly.)

[Sophie]

He's my least favorite too!

[Lydia]

We have so much in common! Lol
