I have not been following goals or keeping up my recall lately. I have had a few spontaneous LD's though, so that is giving me motivation to step up my practice again. Falling Peacefully Method DEILD Lucidity C Vividness C Control C I transition into lucidity from a brief waking. Or it could have been a false awakening, I cannot be too sure. But I will call it a DEILD. I am laying in bed, dark and quiet. I begin to feel the sensation of falling through the bed and into empty dark space. I open my eyes and turn my body upright. I feel the cool breeze of air as I fall and it is quite pleasant. I try to will myself to teleport to some place. I focus my intent on appearing in my office. But nothing happens. The effort causes me to wake up briefly. I remain still and DEILD chain back into sleep. Once again, I feel like I am falling through the bed and into empty dark space. This time, I decide to just go with it and enjoy the experience. I see a few twinkling dim lights like stars in the distance. Then it seems like either they are getting closer or I am falling faster because they start the rush past me as I fall. They seem to be on a solid wall is closing around me. Then, it seems as though I am falling through a narrow tube and these dim lights are just specks on the tube as a fall through. It is like a tube ride at a water park. The tube starts to angle slightly instead of straight down, so now I am sliding along the tube rather than just falling. All along, the experience is pleasant and I am just curious about the whole thing. The tube gradually angles more and more horizontal until eventually it is level. My sliding slows and eventually I stop at one section of the dark tube. I would say I have been falling for about 5 minutes. I crawl in the tube, looking at the sides. There is still a soft breeze of air and I do not feel trapped. But I am looking for a way out. I feel a panel along the wall and remove it. It is like an electrical fuse box. Inside, there is a small lamp with two cords that plug into some sockets in the wall. I pick up the lamp and move it to shine down the tube to get a sense of where I am. But in doing so, I pull the cords out of the wall and the lamp turns off. I feel around to fit the two plugs back into the sockets. In the dim light, I sense that some are color-coded in red and other's black. I try a few different combinations of plugs and sockets until one works and the lamp comes back on. I turn to look at the other side of the tube with the help of the lamp. I find another panel and I remove. Behind it, there is just empty space, like the tube is suspended in space and this panel is a way out. I think to crawl through but it is too small for me. But as I am thinking about this, I seem to fall through the bottom of the tube, as if a trap-door opened under me. I fall for a moment and land softly in a field of long wild grass. It is still mostly dark but a bit lighter here. I can see well enough around me as if the moon is shining down in the middle of the night, though I do not recall looking up to see the moon. I take a moment to reflect on the dream and how calm and quiet it was. I am alone in this dark field, but I do not feel lonely or afraid. It is pleasant.
