The third lucid dream since starting the journal. Again, I seem to be lucid straight from the beginning. Before going to bed I was thinking I am going to just lose consciousness just for a while and become conscious in a dream. I am flying trough the sky somewhere where the lowest clouds would be. I am clearly aware that I am dreaming. The sky is clear and I can see the ground very well. There are lakes and rivers and hills. I fly over a haunted house and take a closer look. There is a ghost flying around the house. The ghost decides to follow me. I get a little scared because the ghost my catch up with me and I do not know what would happen then. So I turn up and the ghost just passes by. I continue up to the sky, wanting to go to space. I seem to approach some kind of a limit and the dream shifts. I am in the bedroom. I am still flying, and I try going trough the roof, but cannot. I am in my bed now. It is very realistic, I can feel the blanket and everything. I feel hot. The scene flickers a bit and I see some hallucinations. I, maybe correctly, identify them as hypnagogic hallucinations, but fail to realize that I cannot be awake. I see images floating in the room, pictures of things. There is a grill in the bedroom, and the cover part starts moving, flying in the air and making a sound. I am getting a little scared, this is not really supposed to happen when I am awake. My wife wakes up and I ask my her if she sees these things. She says that she does not. I figure it is going to pass sooner or later, and it is not really dangerous. My phone rings and there is a message on the screen. "My husband left me." It is some relative, and it is actually a conference call with some other relatives listening as well, as she is explaining the situation. My wife is on her phone and she gives me a knowing look. She is talking with the husband. I notice it is not really late, not even midnight yet. So I listen for a while. I wake up for real and do a reality check this time.

Has this happened to you?

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

Know someone this happened to?

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.
