My lucid dream last night

Definition: Lucid dreaming is consciously perceiving and recognizing that one is in a dream while one is sleeping, sometimes leading to control over the "dreamscape", or the faux-reality dream world within a dream. Stephen LaBerge, a published author and expert on the subject, has defined it as simply realizing that one is dreaming while in a dream. For extensive information on the topic click here for Wikipedia's version (recommended) or click here for a definition from Astral Dynamics' library.

This is the first time this has ever happened to me & it was the most absolutely incredible, weird, frightening, enlightening & totally unexplainable experience I've ever had. The weird thing is that I could control whether or not I wanted to be in a dream state (I only found this out after waking up a couple of times & going back into dreamland. You will understand what I mean after reading about my dream and what happened in it. I went to bed at about 12:15am.

My dream begins in a dormitory bedroom, much like you would find in a boarding school. There are 2 guys sitting on the floor next to me marveling over a section of a marijuana plant that they'd gotten from a friend of mine. There is a long brown bag with vacuum dried heads from a marijuana plant. There are 2 very short (midget-like, but their bodies are in total proportion) twin sisters standing in front of me facing the wall. I am extremely dizzy and find it hard to move around. I notice a bottle of liquid GHB on the bed (a substance that I have tried recreationally in the past, and one that occurs naturally in the body as well) and a friend of mine standing to the right & I asked him if I had taken any GHB, which would explain the dizziness, he replied that I had.

I asked the guys to my left what they were looking at, they then showed me this marijuana plant that they wanted to smoke. I looked at the plant and saw that it had was only stalks with no leaves or 'heads' on it to smoke and I laughed. It was very weirdly shaped too, not the normal sort of plant you'd expect from marijuana. It had thick succulent stems that came out of a base that looked more like a green pepper or a green bulb of sorts. They got really angry & upset that I was laughing at them. They left the room hurling verbal abuse at me taunting me to follow them.

The 2 girls standing facing the wall turned around and said I shouldn't have done that. I told them again that it wasn't really marijuana & that I was getting really tired from being dizzy. Then they too left through a seperate doorway that I had not noticed behind the bed. I was really scared at the time because I didn't know who they were & I'm not the violent type. You must remember that I didn't know I was in a lucid dream at this point.

I woke up (for real) with a really strange feeling. I turned over, looked at the time, it was 1:47am, and went back to sleep. The next thing I knew I had a 2 second tingling rush come up from the bottom of my back and passed my shoulders into my head. I was dreaming again.

I woke up (in the dream) in the same dormitory as before, but it was empty. All the stuff was still on the floor. I tried to stand up but was soo dizzy I fell over and knocked the bottle of GHB over. I quickly tried to get to the bottle, tripping and stumbling all the way. It felt like my legs were totally powerless & I seemed almost paralyzed. I finally got to the bottle before it had all spilled out, managed to get back to the bed & put the lid on the table beside the bed.

Then the 2 midget twins came into the room laughing at me, saying to each other "he's slept the whole time he's been here" and I asked what the time was & they said 2. I also asked what time I had arrived & they said 1. All this time I didn't know if they meant day or night, and they wouldn't say. They then left again & I woke up (for real). I looked at the clock and it was 2:37am. I turned over again, patted my dog (who sleep with me under the covers during Winter), and lay there with my eyes closed. I felt the tingly rush starting again and I opened my eyes. I had halted myself from going back into the dream. I closed my eyes again & let the rush take me.

I woke up in a corridor, my legs still feeling as though they only had 10% of their actual power, so I found it incredibly difficult to move around, and incredible strain that I hope never to feel again. It felt as if were carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I proceeded, mostly on my knees through the corridor when I heard my name called in a very soft & seemingly caring voice. The voice sounded like it was friendly. I shuffled myself around, looked up & saw what I can only describe as an angel in plain clothing. A very short but beautiful little girl standing on a raised bamboo platform offering me a large sandwich. I accepted the offer and was told I needed to meet her halfway to get the sandwich. I stood up & fell over numerous times & for some reason each time I fell chest first into the ground I could not use my arms either now. It was a terrifying experience, by the time I got the sandwich I noticed that all the skin on my chest was peeling. A sort of sunburn peeling where sheets of skin can be pulled off. All of a sudden I felt my arms again & started to peel of this skin. I was interupted by a noise to my right & to my surprise I was attacked by those two boys from the dormitory in the first part of this dream. They wanted my sandwich. I panicked & wanted to see if I was dreaming or if this was for real. I didn't wake up per sé, but to my surprise I was able to open my eyes.

I was relieved to see that I was still in my room with my dog beside me, fast asleep. I turned around & saw that it was 4:27am. Another thing I realised is that I could remember everything in the most vivid detail – clearer than I had ever remembered any dream before! It was very strange. Hoping that I would arrive at a better place I allowed myself to fall back into dreamland. I closed my eyes for about 2 seconds & boom I was back instantly into my dream. I opened my eyes again just to test what the hell was happening, and I was in my room, safe & sound. I closed my eyes again & was again instantly back in dreamland.

I had arrived in the dream in different corridor, but this one was absolutely filthy, it was dingy and felt really creepy. I could see a guy throwing stuff out of a doorway at the bottom of the corridor. Again I felt almost totally powerless & struggled my way down the corridor towards him falling over & getting up again all the way. I went inside the room. It looked like a really old kitchen that hadn't been used for a while. There was a fridge to the right of the entrance & some piles of food on the table. He seemed angry, but it turns out that he was just looking for something. All of a sudden a lady came running into the room with two eggs in her hand and frantically tried to open the fridge. On the bottom shelf of the fridge door there was a bottle filled with black liquid on the right & a bottle filled with white liquid on the left. She placed the eggs in the egg tray, where one egg was above the black bottle & one was above the white one. Somehow the egg tray was jolted & they slipped through the bottom of the tray & cracked, allowing the contents of the eggs to fall into their respective bottles. I laughed at her because she had been trying so hard to preserve the eggs, with no luck. She left unimpressed. The guy that was in the room picked up the white bottle & it looked as if he was going to throw it all over me (as if it were some dormitory prank, I thought fast and quickly grabbed the black bottle & suggested that I would throw mine on him if he threw his on me. He laughed & put the bottle down, as did I. He then told me to follow him to the "workshop". Before I knew it I was standing in some sort of woodwork or metalwork workshop with people manning each bench workstation doing their work oblivious to anything around them. I opened my eyes & came out of the dream. The time was 5:17am.

I usually wake up at 7:30am, so closed my eyes & went back to sleep. Again I got that tingling rush feeling and was instantly dreaming again.

I was in what looked like one of those Chinese paper & wood houses with a ramp in it, like the ones you see in fashion shows. There was a dude in a weird outfit singing a chant and beating a drum while dancing around me. This happened so quickly that I got frightened so I again I opened my eyes. The time was 6:07am. I turned over & closed my eyes again.

The last portion of this dream turned out to be the most frightening, but here it is anyway. I was in what seemed to be a high school building. There were the two guys from the first portion of the dream standing next to me, but this time they were being very friendly. The seemed in a rush to get out of there, & it felt like they were trying to help me escape.

I followed them up & down staircases & into a classroom that they pointed me to & told me to wait in it. I waited for what seemed like forever, but they eventually reappeared with long blades in their hands, like machetes (the type that you would use while chopping your way through thick brush in a forest.) I asked them what they the hell they were doing and told me to wait outside & keep watch. I stood on the balcony of the fourth floor for about ten minutes, when I heard a mass outrage of people on floors below us. It sounded like a prison riot. I quickly ran back inside to let the guys know, but they were both dead with heads & hands cut off & blood everywhere. (Having opened my eyes and removed myself from danger in previous portions of this dream I was a bit braver & decided to stick around until just before something awful happened. In a panicked state I ran outside into the corridor. The noise from the riot seemed to be getting closer & I had a feeling that they would think that I had killed the guys so I started to run to the right. All of a sudden a dude appears to be running straight at me screaming like a madman as if I have already been deemed the guilty party. He gets to me and puts his arm out and "clothes line" me (a technique used in WWE Wrestling). I get up and start proclaming my innocence & begging for him not to hit or kill me. Strangely he does stops, tells me to wait outside while he goes into the room to check it out. Once he's in the room I quickly turn and run to the end of the corridor & down all the stairs to the bottom. This is when I decide to open my eyes. I had had enough. The time was 7:27am, just three minutes before my alarm usually goes off. I am extremely relieved to be back in my own world!!!

Whew!!! Now how Fucked was that for a dream!!
