Knocking
Okay so thanks to manuals and lurking here, last night I accomplished my first lucid dream! At around 10:00 I went to bed and started my WILD attempt. I had heard it was better for beginners to use this technique. Deep down I was always a bit skeptical about lucid dreaming. What if it did not work? What if I just fell asleep? But as I lay there the minutes went by and I started to notice the hypnagogia I would bee reading so much about. I tried to remain calm and let it take me away. I was in the middle of a giant field. The sky was blue with light black wisps of cloud suspended in the air. Being in a dream, I thought, seemed like a more serene place to me. The cares of the physical world simply did not apply. At this point, the excitement of being in a dream world took over me and I am pretty sure what I was feeling was being lifted out of the dream! I remembered what I had read here: spin in circles and stabilize yourself. I did both and stomped my feet on the ground to feel the earth beneath my feet. Settled down, I noticed a gray barn house in the far end of the field. I walked toward it. I noticed a huge red balloon rise from the back of the barn and was - I admit - pretty scared. I watched as it rose and then eventually evaporated. I could feel the moisture fall on me from up in the sky. I looked again at the barn and it was now at the bottom of a steep hill. I jumped down it and landed at the front door. I knocked on the door and a man answered. He looked like a classic farm old guy with overalls, a pitchfork, and a straw hat. I asked him about the balloon and he told me to come in. He then sort of contorted and rose off the ground just a couple feet. So this crumpled old man rose a few feet off the ground and floated to the next room. I was fucking scared out of my mind, sitting on his couch holding a glass of water that I did not even remember accepting. I went to the kitchen to look for him and he was gone. At this point I suppose my brain had had enough with me for one night. I awoke and immediately recorded it. Hope you liked it!
