Actually, I had two in a row in one night, which surprised me. I guess it was because the desire for it to happen was so strong. The first time I didn't even try. I had a dream, and in it, I saw someone that I miss very much in real life. I fell back to sleep wishing that I could have the dream again so I can do things differently. Next thing I knew, I was standing in the same spot I was before I woke up, which I knew damn well had to be a dream because I was JUST in bed. A lot of things I've read on the internet tell me that if you think too hard about the fact that you're dreaming, you'll wake up, or something like that? Well, I knew that if I didn't focus, I'd either forget I'm dreaming or wake up, or the dream would just fade away into something else. So I found the person again and approached him. Mind you, I already had in mind how the conversation would go... then the fuck suddenly turned into an old drunk and started cursing me out. So. fucking. creepy. So I forced myself awake (closed my eyes and opened them HARD), and decided to try again since I was exhausted and about to fall back asleep anyway. I didn't expect it to actually happen. At all. But it did. And the same exact thing happened again. So I'm aware of my dreams. I can will a person to appear somewhere and they do... but I can't control what they look like? Does that mean this is how I really see this person, or do I just suck? By the way, I tried again, but it didn't work. I guess because I stopped giving a damn. And since, I haven't had another lucid dream, even when I tried. I just can't focus on one thing while I'm dozing off.
I’m a great believer in the ecstasy (and indeed agony) that dreams can bring. I have had visions for a number of years, and through time, have tried to analyse them. There are times when I can equate why I have them and times that I do not – it is at times when I don’t that I find more of an interest, and there is, for the most, an explanation. I wouldn’t be too focused of thinking of an issue to consider – I don’t think it works out like that, they are I feel aspects of consideration that the sub-conscious mind contemplates, those which one remembers post slumber merit more rational explanation. For me, embracing them for such a practice is something I look forward to – though to each their own – Sweet Dreams eace:
