Lucid dream experiments

Date: 10/2/2020

I was having an extremely normal dream. Just doing stuff around the house with people I knew. It was extremely windy and there was snow, but somehow it felt more like summer. I never thought of it as weird though. I don't know why, but at some point I realised that I could probably fly and that that meant this was a dream. I did doubt myself a bit, but I remembered I kept making the mistake of thinking too much about it and loosing my ability to fly because of it in previous dreams, so I just did it. I jumped up and flew like I always would. It was still the best feeling in the world. I did however forget to take the wind into account and was suddenly blown away very far. I was scared I wouldn't be able to land anymore, but I thought that if I could make myself fly, I should be able to make myself land too. I focussed on feeling gravity and slowly descended back to the ground. It was hard with the wind, but I managed in the end. Luckily one of my friends had come after me and helped me get back to the group. After this I went with my dad to some place near my house. It had a beautiful view, which was similar to real life. The only difference was that in my dream a group of hippies lived there. They had a mailbox where they would store plants that still had to be planted. I really liked that idea, like instead of receiving mail, they received plants. I had planted one of my own plants too there, a cherry tomato plant, but my dad explained I had not been properly taking care of it. I felt sorry for the plant and promised to do better. After this I saw a family ice skating on the small river behind my house. It had not really frozen, but I knew I had my dream powers, so I should be able to make it work. At first it only froze a little thanks to my powers and I fell through it when trying to step on it. I felt more stubborn than my dream though, so I kept trying. At first I mainly produced snow, but it was enough to stand on. Then, although it only lasted shortly, I layed on my belly on the ice and with all I had tried to imagine it freezing, and it finally worked. The people near me, strangers even in my dream, were very happy for me and cheered. It made me feel very warm inside. After this I tried to cuddle with mu neighbours bunnies, but they didn't want to :( In the next part I was with my friends avain, just flying around a little. My friends were thinking of what to do next. Then I saw a bucket of water and realised I hadn't practised moving water (like a waterbender) in a while. I haven't had many lucid dreams lately. I tried it and as always felt simple but so satisfying. It was difficult however to shape the water, so to speak. I could only create perfect bubbles. I threw it to a friend like a water balloon fight, but they didn't join in. Although all of this happened, a part of me was still convinced this couldn't be a dream, because of the way I could look around. Like, in a dream I am usually so preoccupied with the story of the dream, that I don't think about leisurely looking around and deciding what to do next. It just felt so, normal. I went inside my house and found my younger brother there. I asked him if he knew whether or not I was actually still dreaming, knowing this would sound insane if I wasn't and that he may not answer honestly if it was. My dreams tend to shape themselves in such a way that it feels like they are trying to convince my consciousness that it is actually real whenever I start to recognise features that tell me it's a dream. An example is that if the light doesn't work, I know it's a dream, but my dreams started to include my family explaining there was actually a power outage or there was something else wrong with the lights or electricity around the house, so that I would believe it was not actually a dream. It's confusing... anyway, my brother did answer honestly that it was indeed still a dream. I went into the living room and tried to talk to my mom, but could only whisper, which is when I was convinced it was indeed still a dream. I tried to produce fire when I realised that I still had time for lucid experiments. I tried to figure out the key as I had been able to do it before, but it was always hard and I often burned my hands doing it. Unfortunately I woke up before I succeeded. Oh and as a side note, I was also able to move through walls and doors, without opening them of course. I thought it was fun and who has the time for opening doors these days right.
