Precognitive

A LOT of time ago I posted my first lucid dream in this very website: <URL> An since then I have been taking notes of my dreams, trying lucid techniques and reality checks, practicing and trying... but with no success. The beauty of the lucid dream would not come back. The incredible feeling of knowing that the alternate reality you are experiencing is a creation within your own mind, and knowing that you can have control of everything in that reality... that would not come back. And during this time I had a lot of great dreams but no control in any of them. Until yesterday. I was dreaming about my family and me living in a nice wooden house with strange green carpeting all over the floor. In this dream, the family car had just been stolen because of me forgetting the keys inside it and leaving the door open. I did not like that. I just could not accept it. And that was enough. Strangely, all I needed to return to the lucid dream world again was not agreeing with the reality that was presented to me at that time. And that was it. I was in the lucid dream world again. I was amazed to have it in front of me again: a different reality within my mind, a new world waiting to be discovered. It is difficult to describe how magnificent it all was, despite the fact that I was only seeing my dream room in that wooden house. I got out of the room. My sister was there. She told me about the stolen car and started complaining. So, the first thing I did in that lucid was changing the reality I did not like. So I told my sister: "The car was NOT stolen." With these words, she stopped talking and leaved. I could not believe it. It worked. My words came true the moment I said them. I went to another zone of the house. It was a living room with a big screen TV. All my family was there, happily watching TV. Amazed as I was, I just stared at them, enjoying how real they were. I started laughing nervously a little, thinking about the possibility of telling them that it was all a dream. But I just could not do it. This alternate reality just felt so real I felt it was not fair to destroy it for my dream family. So I did not say a word but instead I noticed a big window in this living room that let me see outside. A beautiful park was outside my dream house: a lot of trees, extremely green grass, and everything looked like it just stopped raining. I thought about heading to the door to go into the park, but then I thought: "why do not I just pass through the glass? It is a dream after all " I touched the glass of the closed window with the tips of my fingers. Just like everything else, it felt as real as windows and glasses of the waking world. But I just had to push a little to start crossing through the glass just if like it was a layer of thin ice. Amazing. There was just a problem: I started to think about this too "logically": "the park I am seeing is too far away and it is BELOW me because I am in a second floor. how will I reach the street?". As if reality itself tried to help me, the park started to distort as if it was trying to reach my extended arms. I gave up. I backed off and returned to the living room. My family was still there. They did not notice anything. Just two seconds later I woke up. So, This lucid may have lasted just a few minutes, but it is still one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. Thanks for reading my dream. And remember: never stop trying to have a lucid dream. You will make it, and it is all worth it.
