Revisiting the Waking Life movie has caused me to delve into the true meaning of Lucid Dreams.
I’ve lucid dreamed off and on all my life, but I never put a name to it before now.
When I was 10 years old, I started having these horrible dreams. I was constantly fighting some thing that was trying to kill me or take me over(a la bodysnatchers). It disturbed my sleep for weeks. One day I decided that I was gonna stop that noise. I decided to somehow take control during the dream and fight back.
If I’m remembering this correctly, I gave myself some kind of superpower in the dream. Some kind of flash bang thing. Whatever it was, I drove off the beastie and finally got a decent night’s sleep.
I never realized I was utiizing a lucid dreaming technique.
MedicMike got me on this trip down memory lane with a link to a website dedicated to the Waking Life movie.
