Lucid Dreaming - Exploration

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last LD post, hasn't it? Truth be told, I haven't been that motivated to focus on my dreams lately, but this morning I had a dream where I missed a lot of obvious dream signs that occur very frequently in my dreams.
So I thought: Let's give this another try. Maybe this post can boost my motivation a bit.

One very interesting thing you can do in your lucid dreams is to simply explore the dream world. Since you are in control, you don't have to just follow the dream where it was headed before, but instead just go off in a different direction. Maybe there is a door in your dream. In that case, what could be behind it? Maybe there's an elevator. In that case, how high does it go, and where will you be when you step out of it again?

Since it's your dream, you can actively choose what sort of scenery you will encounter, but sometimes it's almost more fun to just look around the scenery your subconscious has already made for you. You might find strange places, maybe places you've been to before but in new shapes. I once had a dream where I walked through a physical manifestation of a woman's internet website. Clouds of words and lines of code were floating lazily in the air, and the grass was a light shade of green and very soft.

Well, when you have your next lucid dream, exploring its scenery might be exciting. I know I will try it the next time I have an LD. Until next time, everyone, sweet dreams!

  2. Every time I try to play with that, I realize it's a dream and wake up. Maybe I have to start over.

  6. No matter how much I try, I can never achieve lucidity. I feel jealous.

  7. I never have full control, just sort of know I'm in a dream. Sort of like sitting at a movie, I know i'm not in the movie, i'm just there watching. Self Aware I suppose.

  14. That website dream sounds trippy. Do you usually lucid dream each night, or is it more infrequent?

  15. I would love it if you did more posts about dreams you have had in the past. I was quite inspired by your tale of the physical manifestation of a web page.
