Hovering

I am also going to try to remember the lucid dream I had maybe two weeks ago. The End of September. Lucid Dream: I was dreaming about something that I no longer remember when I suddenly had the feeling that I was dreaming. I thought, "Why do not I just fly?" I was on the top of a small mountain. I wanted to fly out and across the mountain until I came to the spot that it just dropped off, then I would be soaring way high in the sky. So I did that I enjoyed that neat sensation. I then thought about doing the Task of the Month--Walking on Water. I looked down. I needed to find some water. Finally I saw a small lake and flew down to it. By the time I got to it it was very small indeed. In fact, small enough I could cross it in a just a few of steps. But I felt that I did not need that many steps to complete the Task. I first hovered over it horizontally and tenatively placed my palm on the surface of the water. I then pushed down into the water. It went all the way to the bottom (about 8 inches). There was nothing solid about this water. I wondered if I needed a strategy to make this work. I then decided to have faith. If I believed I could walk on water, then I should be able to walk on water. I got in an upright position and placed my foot on the water. I started to put some weight on it. It immediately sank to the bottom like my hand. Okay...I needed to have a different approach. I decided that since I could fly that there was absolutely no reason why I could not cross a pond without sinking. So I hovered over the pond in an upright position again. This time I placed my foot on the surface of the water without puttting any weight on it. See...that was easy. So I slowly brought out my other foot and also placed it on the surface of the water. I adjusted it so it was perfectly flat on the water. There. I was "standing" on the water. This was cool. I then slowly swung my back leg forward and placed it again in front of me on the water. I noticed that my body was getting lower toward the water, so my legs were bending somewhat. But I looked and saw that my feet were still perfectly flat on the surface. I took a couple more steps forward noticing each time that my body was getting lower and lower and my knees bending more and more until I was "walking like a duck" on the water. But I felt that since I was able to keep my feet on the surface that I had successfully accomplished the Task. Then the dream got weird and went on to me wanting to take off my shirt. Why, oh why does my dream self insist on this--I do not know. And I think I lost lucidity a some point shortly after that.

Has this happened to you?

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.

Know someone this happened to?

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
