LUCID DREAMING~ I have taken a lot of interest in learning about dreaming and reading the theories about why we dream. I believe that dreams are a window into the subconscious. I have had lucid dream experiences and out of body experiences that are indescribable. When my dreams seem active I try to keep a dream diary so I can remember what I have been dreaming about.

Dreaming
I have had 1 particular recurring dream since I was a child, at this point having the dream several times a year, since the age of about…maybe 9 or 10 years, when I am dreaming this dream I start realize that I am dreaming, it is all too familiar. I have been able to manipulate the dream, once I am aware that I am dreaming and it is an awesome experience from there! The dream always starts out in the upstairs of the old house I lived in, I start walking down the stairs towards the kitchen, I go to get something out of the large yellow fridge (which in my dream is larger than life) and it falls on top of me, causing me to fall into a pit of bright lights, then I jump awake from my sleep/dream.  The got to be very annoying because I always felt that NEXT time I was going to STOP that fridge from waking me up!!! After becoming intrigued by an out body phenomenon that I experienced, I ended up stumbling upon some web forums about Lucid Dreaming and was given a book that helps people learn how to control their dreams. I found out that I had already been starting the lucid dreaming process…  by remembering this exact dream while I am having it.

The first time I had a lucid dream:
It started as it always had, me walking down the stairs towards the kitchen, except this time I’m thinking, this is that DREAM, I know what happens next- so… I imagined (before walking into the kitchen) that instead of this big yellow refrigerator, it’s purple! Sure enough,  the fridge was actually purple when I turned the corner into the kitchen- it still fall on me and I caused me to wake up.  Eventually with enough practice, I’ve became good enough to prevent the fridge from falling on me in my taunting dream, I can venture out ofthe kitchen now and out into the backyard, which looks exactly as it did when I was a kid, the dream is in all in my control now as far as what I can do- the setting seems to be based on what is in my memory bank. It is a very peculiar phenomenon!

If you have experienced lucid dreaming or astral projection, I would love to hear your stories, I think it is so fascinating. I will blog about the Out of Body experience that I referred on the Letter O of this A-Z Challenge
