Paralysis

I had an extra hour of sleep before work so I took a nap. All I did was set an intention of what I wanted to do the next time I had a dream. I occupied my mind with this intention. Focused more on falling asleep. Find so-and-so. Sleep paralysis came after some time and I kid you not, I willed the dream into the moment. I felt the dream coming on so I just invited it in until I found my inside a small store. I found a cashier and asked if she knew where so-and-so was. She looked and did not say anything. The lucid dream ended. I ended up oversleeping. On another note, this October will mark 10 years being part of Dream Views. That would be 10 years of me *attempting* to *master* lucid dreaming. I am just going to go ahead and say that no, I am not a master of lucid dreaming. I cannot lucid dream everyday and when I do have a lucid dream, it is less and than thirty seconds long. Just because I easily had a lucid dream today does not mean I am going to have one tomorrow guaranteed.

Following my previous blog entry, I formulated a guess about how my lucid dreams have been induced all this time, strangely enough. This morning I had another lucid dream with a unique twist

Has this happened to you?

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

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.
