A Slightly Creepy Lucid Dream


For some reason I had long thought this was an entry on this blog, and a fairly recent one at that, but it turns out I had actually posted it to my Facebook page on February 18th, 2016(!).  Once I found it in my Fb history it seemed worth posting here, so here it is.


A LUCID DREAM(LET)

Last night I went to sleep thinking about lucid dreams.  I wasn't feeling well and didn't feel like making the effort to will myself to have one (doesn't usually work like that anyway [at least not for me, not so far].  Instead, I went to sleep telling myself that if I was determined to dream lucidly, it will eventually happen naturally.  Well, I was right, it happened.  Some time in the early morning I dreamt that I was up and brushing my teeth, getting ready to go to work.  It was very vivid and real, and I was convinced I was really awake -- until I started singing, and looked in the bathroom mirror, and saw that my lips weren't moving (it was pretty creepy at first, like a scene out of a horror movie)!  I realized then that despite the apparent reality of the situation, I was actually dreaming.  Unfortunately that's when the dream ended.  I would have loved to explore this dream world, but oh well.
