On Lucid dreaming..
I strongly believe in such thing as lucid dreaming. I do because I’m sort of a lucid dreamer, a full blown one. At first, I had no idea what it was and it made sleeping really exhausting, I’m still exhausted most times to be honest, and I really dislike sleeping, but it’s a matter of nature’s call and you can’t cheat nature.
I’ve had friends who say they don’t dream at all, and one was particularly in dire knowledge on how to go about lucid dreaming, but me, I do not really fancy it. It feels as though there is a world waiting for when I sleep, and creatures and people or situations waiting to pounce as soon as I close my eyes. I’d only be sleeping for 10minutes and it’s already a lifetime over there, a not so pleasant one at that.
In my dreams tho, there are places I’m familiar with by now, there is this large beautiful school building, it’s built in such a way that it’s used for church services and seminars and shows, it connects two ends and I haven’t see anything as beautiful the real life. There’s also this school hostel that you could get lost in, there is this house with lots of doors, looks like my house back home but with more secret channels and doors, I go there a lot. There’s also this staircase-like area I used to hang out with my friends but I haven’t been there since after one of us passed last year, I hope I’d get to go one of these days, to say hi and maybe goodbye.
Tonight, I started a book and I couldn’t lucid dream any faster, I’m saying it’s been a while. Not that I dreamt what I read about, but sometimes, what I read, see or even hear about becomes catalyst to whatever the opposite universe would bring.
A few times tho, I’ve felt thrilled at the prospect of cheating on my dreams, lucid dream is supposed to be one you know you are dreaming and you can even control your actions, so when I feel it’s too much sometimes, I’m able to say no, I’m not dealing with this today, I know I only have to open my eyes to make it stop, and then I do just that.
This is just a mindless rant of a homeless introvert who’s had it with dreams and is left with nothing else to do at 3am bit talk about it.
So, are you a lucid dreamer?
How often do you lucid dream?
Do you like It?
Do you wish you could get break from them sometimes?
What do you do to make that happen?
