About My First and Second attempts at Lucid Dreaming Experiences: Battling my Ego
My First Experience:
I entered my dream-state, instantaneously I knew I was dreaming. So I gained consciousness of my dream-state. Nevertheless I started to think what experiment I want to do with my dream… I thought about it being my birthday, I saw a cake on a yellowish light in the darkness I blew the candles and woke up.
This might seem like a successful lucid dream, nevertheless I later remembered, I had seen that cake before. It just so happens the night before I had seen “The Descent” Which features a birthday cake scene equal to the one in my dream. That day I learned the immense power of the subconscious over myself. It’s as if my ego was keeping me out. It’s as if it was trying to fool me into thinking I was in control of my dream.
My Second Experience:
I entered my dream-state, instantaneously I knew I was dreaming. So I gained consciousness of my dream-state. Before I could think of something to do Everything turned pitch black. White words appear before me like a silent movie. They say ” You’re not supposed to be here, get out!” The words repeated themselves in my mind but made absolutely no sound. I was scared beyond my limits, this has been one of my scariest dreams, not because of the events that ocurred. But because of no particular reason during the dream I felt a very visceral unsubstantiated fear. It was fear for the sake of fear. There fear was magnificently rich and painful, redundant in it’s meaning. I was intensely afraid and for no reason.
This dream also featured a very high vibration that resounded in my ears. This vibration seems to be a recurring theme in my worst nightmares, My rabid dog nightmare also featured a very high pitched devastating vibration. It makes me feel paranoid, in danger, observed and threatened by an external being.
