LD4all Quest #1: Self-Existing Moon: Through the Mirror

Finally now I will actually have something to do in LD’s which may possibly make me get more(been having a dry period lately). I wonder what walking through a mirror would feel like. :mirror:

thanks explora :smile: (and also thanks for the ‘bring a gift’ suggestion :content: )

the name came to me in that twilight waking/sleeping stage, as well as the place to put the forum - below the dream journal forum :smile:

Yes, i agree, there couldn’t be a more appropirate icon :content:

hey that’s so cool that the idea of where to place the forum (and the name to give it), came in the twilight zone!

great dreamin!

Good topic,good choice.Ive been allways interested what can be found behind the mirror- wheter people will have similar or totally different experiences.Mirrors are highly symbolic, sometimes magical.Its one of the kind object.
Cant wait for reports- its been my quest for long now,but never managed to get close.

This whole concept of dream adventures I find very exciting. Especially because its been a personal mission to go througj a mirror.

Can’t wait to sleep and dream!!

I’ve found mirror/reflections before but never went through. I think I will take a more traditional approach and just smash the mirror and walk through what remains.

This is awesome Q and like Explora the icon is perfect.

You know this might be just what I need to get my DR back to where it was about 2 months ago. I have problems going through mirrors myself. I don’t like them irl so this will be a challenge.

Hopefully, this will get me to look for something that someone left for me to find in a dream too. Kill two birds with one stone.

Hats off to Q!

Conscious Dream: Through the Mirror
Intention: pasQuale is running a “Through the Mirror” project at ld4all. I’ve never tried to go through the mirror, so I wanted to take the opportunity.

[LD]I become conscious. I’m in front of a mirror (as planned). It’s the mirror at my family home – in my parent’s bedroom. I think this is interesting; after all I’d been planning to go through the mirror at my own personal home.

I walk up to the mirror, preparing to run and jump through it. Of course, I’m still a bit unsure about whether that’s going to work or not – perhaps I’ll just bounce off.

I run up to it, and somehow fall through into “empty space” – but soon enough find myself back in front of the mirror – on the floor. What a failure!

I look into the mirror. And see myself! I look shocking! I can literally see the exertion and strain I’m feeling, reflecting right back at me. I find this quite funny, and play with it a little, poking fun at my reflection.

Then I decide to try one more time. I don’t seem to physically cross through, but now an old friend, David Mossop appears beside me, in my parent’s room. I recognise his appearance as being meaningful. “What do you symbolise? What are you here for?” I ask – hinting that he’s obviously here for some kind of reason.

However, he gives me a nonsense answer about being here to annoy me :wink: Oh well. Then I say, I realise the question must be quite funny for him anyway – how would he know, what he symbolises in my dream? Imagine asking that same question to someone in waking life.

I tell him I want to have one more try at getting through the mirror, and that he’s going to have to be quiet in the meantime. As I’m preparing/solidifying our intention, to move clearly through the mirror, my older sister suddenly appears on the right side.

She pulls open the cupboard door, upon which the mirror is held, revealing a whole set of interesting green type jumpers. I think back to a dream, in which I saw myself wearing a green jacket with the words the “Subway of the Fourth Dimension” emblazoned upon it, and realise that the message behind this latest event, is that I actually need to start taking some of these clothes out of the closet, and wearing them outside.[/LD]

[com]Comments: I wasn’t all that successful in stepping through the mirror, yet I did feel that the events that took place, were connected to my intention to go “through the mirror”.

David Mossop has a particularly meaning in my dreams, as his dad is called “Robert Mossop” - a connection I’ve always felt represents that I share with my favourite dream writer - Robert Moss.

The clothing in the closet, brought back warm memories, and the recognition of the different identities/tales associated with each piece of clothing. It reminds me that I need to work on that article my dreams guided me to write, about the “Subway of the Fourth Dimension”.[/com]

great dream nick! :happy: I love how you asked the DC what he meant in your dream and your thought about imagining asking that same question to someone in waking life.

In some way you got a gift out of this too! I like the insight you got :smile:

hey yes. you’re right q.

i’d forgot all about looking for the gift in the dream too. i’d just been planning to groove on through the mirror.

coolness. nick

Thats a great dream Nick… well done!

Last night, I had an unsuccessful attempt.

I woke up in the early hours of the morning, went back to bed with the intention of a LD and in particular to go through the mirror.

I realise I am somewhat awake and I am sleeping on my stomach, but I am in my bed supporting my myself on my arms, staring over my shoulder. I am looking at tree tops, very green and very high tree tops. [color=blue]I realise that infact I am not awake, that I must be dreaming or even an OBE. At this point I decide to try and leave my body, and I feel the vibrations increase in the middle of my chest and I start to lift… but not enough, I get scared that I am going to lose the dream and I focus on the tree tops again trying to keep it together.

I am still half in my bed and I think about the mission. There is a large full wall mirror in my bed room, and I try to find this… but its all blurry. I try to focus harder but I just can’t see the mirror. I feel the dream slipping from me and I try to jump out of my body, but I think I just end up stretching my legs out longer than normal and the dream ends![/color]

Although this was unsuccessful, it was a good first attempt for me at having a LD and trying to get to a mirror. :content:
:content: :content:

great you tried it carnun! congrats on becoming lucid :happy:

OMG!! I’m so excited because we almost all were successful last night here’s my experience.

11/1/05 - Tuesday Night

In Search of Q

[com]I went to bed thinking of all the things I had wanted to accomplish during that night. I wanted to meet up with Q in hopes of having a SD. I wanted to work on a project I have going with a friend. I wanted to help another and I wanted to go through the mirror and bring back a gift for the Lucid Adventures topic.

I meditated, visualizing where I wanted to start off being that I could possibly take care of all those things at once.[/com] [LD] I found myself in my old bedroom at my mom’s house. I knew I was lucid immediately. I looked at my body and noticed that I was as thin as I was 10 years ago. Everything was as I remembered. I looked and remembered that I had two mirrors and was contemplating which to use. So I decided to start off with the one on the inside of my closet. I sat diagonal to the mirror so as not to see my reflection. I reached out and placed my hand in the mirror and began to swirl it around as if playing with water. I pulled on it and made it expand.

I watched the mirror and brought into view our “meeting” place. Q wasn’t there. I called her and I even brought her a unicorn (no wings) and nothing. I then stepped in but didn’t go all the way through. It felt like I was expanding the lining of a bubble. I called again. I paced around for a while. I walked over and used the other mirror and still no Q.

I did manage to see a friend sleeping with his dog and quieted the dog so that I wouldn’t wake my friend. I put my hand in the mirror again and came back with a coin. It was a little bigger than a quarter or dollar (coin) and it was a dark grey. It must have been silver at one point. I was holding onto the coin to give to Q for some reason.

I got bored of waiting for Q and woke myself up.[/LD] I realized it was almost time to get ready for work and that’s what I did.

:beer: :cheer: :thumbs:

Go Illuminada!!! Through the mirror and a gift!! Nice!!

All you guys are an inspiration to me!!! :content:

That sounded quite successfull Illuminada, I sure hope I manage to have the same level of success as you had!

Through the Mirror
My husband woke me because I was moaning in my sleep, I can’t remember what that dream was about, but it gave me the occassion to WILD back into it and become lucid :happy:

[LD]I remember the mirror Quest immediately and that I have to meet ilum behind the mirror. I run down the stairs into our meditation room, where I find a mirror on the wall. that isn’t there IRL.

I put my hand in it and swirl it around, because I want to see what that looks like. It is a bit like water. Strangely enough I don’t notice my own reflection in the mirror at all; just a mirrory surface.

Then I jump through. I end up in some kind of sticky cloudlike substance. I can’t progress through it. I step back again. I hear Ilum calling me and I say that I’m coming. I try to see her in the mirror. I jump in again, this time with more force. I manage to take a few steps further in the sticky stuff.

I see Ilum opposite me, almost a step away. I grab her hand and pull her trough the mirror with me. The stuff is so sticky I have to remove it from my face. It feels like removing a bandaid.

Now it is vague… I can vaguely recall me being together with Ilum in the meditation room, but I can’t remember more :cry: [/LD]

Yay I did the mirror Quest :happy: It has been a long time since I stepped through a mirror. Now I want to try again. I hope Ilum has the other part of my recall :grin:

:content: Thanks Carnun and Snape. It was unreal and awesome. You guys must try with the mirror. What worked for me was to think about a place that was comfortable and serene. I just went there to use the mirror.

Q: :rofl: I do but I hate to disappoint you with the outcome but we can keep trying.

In Search of Q part II

I went to bed keeping in mind that I am to meet Q somewhere and I need to go get her instead of waiting. I also had to go visit someone else too. I was meditating before I go to bed, this seems to work best for me.

I found myself in my old bedroom again. I walk over to the closet to use the mirror on the inner door. I’m standing in front of it and I feel so exhausted. I’m trying everything I can to maintain lucid. If I call Q maybe she’ll answer and I’ll stay lucid. Like Q I don’t see my reflection. I close my eyes and call Q with my mind. First I see the face of a friend that I said I’d visit too but his eyes are open and I get the impression he’s awake so I go back to Q. I have a mental image of her face and before I can open my eyes I am pulled through the mirror. I lose lucidity and it becomes a ND

I land in this small square room. There are big pillows in there. Not the one’s you use to sleep but the one’s people use to kneel on. There are other people in with me and I’m confused about what is going . I’m either held against my will or can’t get out. There is some sort of epidemic or plague affecting everyone out in the real world.

This was all I remember. But I can’t wait to try again!

Golly, you guys get lucid so easily it puts me to shame :bored:

hey carnun

cool dream man. i can relate to that slipping feeling you experienced!

i like imagining that there is something there before me - often I put “my hands” out, and try and roll them along the ground… that way i have something to engage my senses, and thus fasten my dreaming body in the dreaming…

pasQuale and illuminada

especially illuminada - for that second attempt.

loved reading your dreams. I especially liked the way you swirled the mirror around like water, expanding it, then stepping through. a that’s a neat trick!

i did a similar thing with a tv once - it felt so cool to suddenly find myself “inside”.

I gave this a try last night, in my own way:

I guess it is time to draw a circle. I remember a project in ld4all, and draw it in front of a mirror to do both at once. I jump through the pink circle, and at the same time through the wall and mirror, and end up in darkness. Slowly, an image forms. It is a beautiful sunrise or sunset, with trees in silhouette, overlooking a river. It zooms in to show sandy, shrub-covered ground. The impact when I hit the ground sends me straight into a FA in my brother’s apartment.

The summoned DC gives me the berry back, and suggests that I draw a new circle with that in my hand. It is a good idea! There is no Ceeia on the other side though, only a noisy fair or market. I have come to this place before when I have tried, it must be close to Ceeia? The music is deafening! I draw another one, and end up in a desert. It is flat, and red/orange coloured. There are two months in the sky, and two suns. This is definitely not Ceeia, but it is an unknown world! There is a large, flat, light grey building behind me.

It reminds me a little of the building from the swamp world in a LD I had years ago. I can’t remember what happened after this. I can remember stomping the ground to check for sound, and also firing arrows with a quite small bow.
