Alrighty. I’ve had a few lucid dreams before, but I never really knew they were lucid dreams. I once had this dream that I was babysitting my brother and sister (and I can relate because it was summer and I WAS babysitting my brother (younger) and sister (older, but mentally retarded). This guy who looked like a cartoon bad guy (black pants, white long-sleeve shirt with black stripes, and one of those black…band things that go over his eyes as well as a hat, a bag with a $ on it, and a big mangum). Anyways, he asked if he could use my phone (and threatened me with the gun) and, I don’t remember how I REALIZED it was a dream, but I flipped him off and said, “If I was awake, I would.”
Anyways, that’s the only lucid experience I’ve ever had. I didn’t even know what lucidity was at the time. I’m doing a Creative Writing project and my topic is about Dreams. I found this website while researching and I found it very interesting. I saw the last half of the movie “Vanilla Sky” and it really made me go, “Woah!” Now I kind of understand it and I would really like to know how I could get started. The web-site itself has a pretty good explanation, but it seems kind of vague. I’m already guessing it would take a little time, but I’d like to know more because, being as I enjoy creative writing, I feel it would be very cool to write entire stories about my dreams.
