Taking off impossibly fast

Just what the title says. No, I have not already quit. I just had to take some MORE time off from lucid dreaming unexpectedly thanks to getting sick. But now that I am 99% better, I can start again with documenting my average dreams and work towards making them lucid once again. I do not recall my dreams from last night, but I do recall an interesting dream from the night before, so I will summarize it now. The dream began as a false awakening. I got out of bed and was about to begin my daily routine when I decided to go back to sleep for a few more minutes. So that is just what I did; I got back in bed and lay my head down and I was out. Now I was in a dream within a dream (notice the darker text indicating a deeper level?). I found myself standing on the edge of a vast canyon and exploring the surrounding area. Something did not feel right, but I could not tell what. After about a half hour of looking around and finding nothing interesting, I decided to lie down and go to sleep. Now in layer 3 of the dream, I found myself at a friend's dorm at the college he goes to...only the actual layout of the place was nothing like the real-world college. The dream explained it away as remodeling, and I never caught on that it was a dream. My friend was asking me about dreams, particularly lucid ones, and if it would be possible to share dreams. "Sure it is possible, I have done it before." I said. "We could do it right now in fact, if I can manage a WILD." "Well, want to give it a try?" He asked. I agreed to try, so we lay down and went to sleep. I was now in layer 4 of the dream, aware that I was dreaming, and in a white void. All around me all I saw was white. I could not move anywhere or speak, and when I tried, it simply woke me up into the previous layer of the dream. "Did you do it?" My friend asked. "Yeah, but I could not stay in for some reason." In another moment, I woke up from that dream and into the layer before it. I was only at this one a split second before I shot up into the air as the dream faded out into the first layer, and I sat up in my bed. "That was a crazy dream!" I said to myself as I climbed out of bed. Then I woke up for real, and was totally disoriented from all the waking up

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.
