PART LUCID LUCID NIGHTMARE FALSE AWAKENING NOTE: Please read to the end, it gets alot more exciting when the nightmares come. If you have a short attention span just skip to the big red nighmare at the bottom. This is my third lucid since joining dream views. I was not the most lucid I Have had but it was by far the most vivid. I started off walking through a quiet part of a small town with a very warm climate. The whole dream had a pleasant, warm orange tone.Suddenly I realised I was dreaming. As the thought echoed through my mind a huge wave of vividity swept through intensifying everything around me. I did not need to do a reality because I was sure it was a dream. All of my muscles and senses felt like I was really using them. Most importantly I felt like I was seeing through my eyes and not just my head. It was extremely vivid.I walked around in the town I created and in my excitement pulled a big smile at a nearby dream character. She was young and wearing a red jumper. She looked slightly confused but just smiled back at me. I began to explain lucidity to her when suddenly some friends of mine appeared out of no-where. Sadly I had not thought about lucid goals for a while in waking life, so I just began to impress my friends with some lucid flying. They were slightly impressed but not as much as they would be in real life. We then began to walk very quickly and ended up in a huge shopping center (mall). There were hundreds of people all moving around briskly so we carried on through the crowds and then we were in a school. (I had two more dreams about this school later on, but they are incredibly boring so I am not going to write them down) I was about to think about my lucid goals when a teacher asked me to help him carry some tables. I lost lucidity slightly and gladly agreed to help him. I set the table down in the classroom he had specified and regained full lucidity! "Hmmm now, what was it I wanted to do? Ah yes, I wanted to get to the lucid crossroads" I thought. So I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in a very dark nightmarish room just like the one I was in previously. It scared me so I closed my eyes again and opened them in my room. I was convinced this was realitly. Just to be sure I did the nose plug reality check about eight times and it worked EVERY SINGLE TIME. I still did not realise it was a dream. What a numskull. So I grabbed my dream journal and decided to write down my lucid. I began when for some reason my journal turned into a ping pong ball. "It is normal to write down dreams on ping pong balls" I thought. I repeatedly felt like I was asleep with my eyes open, which should have told me this was a false awakening but it did not. Next came some very odd visions. I would not call them dreams because they had nothing to do with me. Be prepared, this may give you nightmares. I saw images of fat people waking up into the most horrible sleep paralysises I had ever seen. They were shaking violently and frothing at the mouth. They then appeared to become possessed. They let out horrible noises and their eyes went completely white before growing huge. They were experiencing a lot of pain and were shaking very much. I then woke up for real.What was this? Was something trying to tell me something like you really do get possessed when experiencing SP? Also, I read that you can only dream about yourself. These people had nothing to do with me. Damn! I cannot have a lucid without weird false awakenings!
