Caradon's Lucid Dreams

[Caradon]

Introduction
Ok, I'm going to start over with my Lucid Dream journal. I'm going to start moving all my Lucids here a little at a time from the beginning. Until I get caught up, I won't be posting any new Lucids here. But I will post the new ones in my regular journal

Any comments or questions are appreciated.

Night of 5-20-07
 
dry spell ended, at least I hope it is!
 
It starts out, that I am in my house, and it's just down pouring rain outside.   I go to the window, and look out. I see that the heavy rain, is causing a flood. the water is already up to the edge of the window, and rising fast.
I feel the house actually start to move. It's getting lifted from it's foundation,
and beginning to float. the flood water has a current, and is starting to push the house. The house starts to tilt on it's side, and I am on the side that is tilting into the air. The current gets stronger, and pushes the house into a roll. At the same time, I fall towards the lower part of the house, and begin to tumble around and bounce off the walls, as the house rolls a few times.
 
It's hard to describe what happens next, because I am a little disorientated.
I'm not sure if I went out a window, or what. but  I distinctly remember entering the water, and the house falling away from me. The house is gone now all together, and I am getting pushed along at high speed. The momentum of the water is very powerful. I am desperately trying to twist and turn, to avoid getting slammed into things, like telephone poles and trees.
and what ever else may be in my path.
 
Now the current starts to form a wave. I am on the top of the wave as if surfing. but I am still partially submerged in the water. I am kind of stuck there, the water has a good grip on me. the wave starts out not real huge,
but it is growing as it washes forward. Until it becomes a massive wall of water, hundreds of feet high. It's just like in that movie impact, when the asteroid hits the ocean. And I am riding this monster thing! I can see lots of people running and screaming in terror, trying to get away. I am wondering, how I will manage to survive, once this thing comes crashing down.
 
Now I am having a hard time, comprehending the situation that I am in, and it starts to click that I am dreaming. At first it's just kind of wishful thinking.
But as I think about it a little bit, the full realization that I am dreaming washes over me. (I love that feeling) I see all the people running in terror,
and I feel bad for them. So I start yelling "this is a dream!" I yell it a few times. I want to let them know they don't have to be afraid.
 
I have gotten into the habit, of pretending that my dream characters
are real people. but in my last half a dozen Lucid dreams, I have started doing it in an almost non-lucid way. so I think I will have to stop doing that.
 
I'm not sure what made me think, yelling this is a dream into a mob of panicked people, would make them feel better anyway. I give up on that and
look around. I see that the wave is very wide. And I can see a couple of other people caught the way I am. I decide I will try to get up, and walk across the top of the wave. I don't like being stuck in the water the way I am. I figure once I get myself free, I will get the situation under control.
and try for a Lucid task. Or talk to an animal. (Moonbeams Task) So I start
to pull myself up from the water, But as I am getting to my feet I wake up:(
This dream was pretty wild, and very vivid. I have a lot a dreams about motion. But this Tidal wave thing was a new one.

I used to have falling elevator dreams a lot. I never had a conscious fear of them. But, one time when I was kid, I got into an elevator alone. when I came to the floor I wanted, The doors would not open for me. I freaked out, and started banging on the doors yelling, until somebody came and got me out. this is the only explanation I can come up with for them. I started using the elevator dream as a dream sign, and I would become Lucid every time it happened. But it didn't take to long before I stopped having the dream. This is one of the last times that it happened, and the only one that really stuck in my mind.
 
A past Lucid Dream: Date unknown.
 
I step into the elevator, and the doors slide closed. There is another guy in the elevator with me. I am not sure if I pushed any buttons, but the elevator starts going down. I start to hear some strange sounds, then the elevator starts jerking around violently, then begins falling fast. Instantly I realize I am dreaming. I calmly sit down, with my back against the back wall, and my legs crossed. The other guy with me, is starting to freak out really bad. I say to him," relax this is a dream, we wont hit the ground, because there is no ground" then I tell him, that he should reach out with his thoughts, and he will be able to feel that it's a dream. Then he says to me," you know I think your right." I say, "I know I am right!" Then, I am sitting there for awhile just enjoying the falling. And I am making sure that we don't hit any ground, in a way that I don't know how to describe. then something odd happens. The walls of the elevator become transparent, like glass. And without noticing any change in motion, we are no longer falling, but flying across an amazing landscape, in a glass box. And I am controlling our flight. After flying for awhile I set us down. we get out, and I am about to go find some other adventure, when I wake up.
 
I wish this dream would still happen.

Lucid task for the month of May 2007 completed
Uproot a tree and make it walk.

I am in an apartment with an old friend, when I suddenly become Lucid for no reason. My friend has the refrigerator door open, and is going through stuff.
I think he is getting ready to make something to eat. I tell him he should quit doing what he is doing. because this is a dream, and he is wasting time. to my surprise he actually believes me. I don't think of the Lucid task right away.
The first thing that I think of doing, is pinching my nose and trying to breath.
I have wanted to try this since reading about it here. I tell my friend about it, and we are both sitting there pinching our noses and trying to breath.
It takes me a few times to get it right. But eventually I have my nose pinched, and I am breathing fine.(it's kind of cool)
So, my friend and I, walk out into the living room. I am all excited, and doing kind of an happy dance. And I am levitating pretty much everything in the room. I have stuff floating around all over the place. suddenly, I hear my friend say "Check this out." So I turn and Look. There are three copper colored bars, protruding from the top of his skull. The bars curve forward, and there are light bulbs screwed into the ends of them. It's Like there is a lamp stuck in his head. His eyes are open very wide, and bugging out of there sockets.
And also, his eyes are rolling wildly in different directions. He has his hands above his head, and is holding onto the light bulbs and turning them.
(I never saw anything quite like it before) I say "whoa cool trick man!
I then run up the side of the wall. I jump off the wall, and try to spin through the air, and land on my feet. But I end up falling on my ass. I am thinking, man I have better skills than that! Now I am thinking, well I'm here Lucid, and I have no Idea what I want to do next. And I am thinking about how I had just mentioned, being in this situation, in a post on DV.
Then I think Holy crap! The Lucid task! I get really excited, and I take off running towards the door. I spin once, hoping that it will help keep me in the dream long enough. I yank the door open, and go running down the hall as fast as I can. I get outside, and it is a little dark out. Suddenly, my eye lids
feel real heavy. I am thinking, its because I don't have my glasses on. But I'm like, that can't be right, I don't need glasses in a dream. Then, Oh I bet it's because I'm stoned, That makes sense. ( I have not smoked pot in a lot of years) I stopped thinking about it and the sensation went away. I went looking for a tree. In front of the building was a group of medium size trees.
It's pretty windy, and the trees are blowing around wildly. I reach out with my thoughts, and levitate the tree right out of the ground. The tree is now floating through the air, with it's roots dangling. Hmm, the task is make a tree walk, not fly! Now I notice that the trees are laughing at me.(kind of fascinating) So, I lower the tree so it's touching the ground. I make it kind of hop along a little bit. But it's roots are not moving, so it's not walking! I decide, I am going to put it back in the ground, and try all over. I lower it into the ground. But I lose control of it's descent, and it sinks into the earth,
and Vanishes. So I try pulling it back up again. As I do, the top most branches appear. And they now look like, silvery metal tentacles. And they are whipping around all over. I am struggling with getting this thing out of the ground, when I wake up.

Night of 5/27/07 at the cabin.
 
The first thing I remember, is being at the top, of a tall chain link fence. It had barbed wire along the top of it. below me is a German Shepperd. It's very pissed at me for some reason. It's doing the whole bared teeth thing, and snarling. There is someone there, that decides to help me out. the DC, throws a steak or something, as far away from me as he can. The dog goes for it, and I decide to jump down. I have a gray sweatshirt on, and the sleeve is now caught on the barbed wire. I try to pull it loose, but its hooked pretty well, and I can't. Finally I just jump, and the weight of my fall tears it loose.
 
I Land on my feet and start to run. The dog looks up and comes after me. But I now have super human speed, and I leave the dog far behind. I am running so fast everything is a blur. suddenly I am approaching the edge of a cliff. The cliff is not real high, just one or two hundred feet. I am trying to decide what to do as I approach it. It does not even occur to me, that I could stop running. I guess, I am having a brave moment. I just jump without even slowing. Once in the air, I instantly realize I am dreaming. (Getting airborne, is a familiar dreamsign for me.)
 
I land on my feet, and I am so caught up in the joy of the moment, that I just keep on running. suddenly, I approach the edge of another cliff. I leap into the air, and I am screaming stuff like "wooo hoooo" and "yeee haaa."
I land on my feet again, and keep running, and running. Cliffs keep appearing in front of me, and I keep jumping and screaming. I wake up after not to long of a time.:(
 
I normally don't have problems with dogs in my dreams. But I do get a lot of bears, and mountain lions.

When I first learned Lucid dreaming, and after I got really good at flying. I must have had nearly a dozen Lucid Dreams in a row. Where I did nothing but fly across dreamscapes at high speed. as fun as this was, it was starting to feel like all of my Lucid dreams were exactly the same.
 
This is how I discovered free falling.
 
A past Lucid Dream: Date unknown
 
I don't remember what point I became Lucid, or how I came to be in this spot. The first thing I remember, is being on the roof of this very tall skyscraper. I want to try something different, but I still have a strong desire to be airborne.
 
There is a short wall around the edge of the roof. I step up onto it, and look out across the most amazing cityscape. It is a little dark, and the city is lit up. (It is very beautiful) I look down, and I can see the lights of traffic far below. I turn around and inch backwards, so that the heels of my feet, are over the edge of the drop. I hold both arms out to my sides, and take a deep breath and relax. Then I gently tilt backwards, and let myself fall. The feeling of falling backwards, without looking down at the drop, is so real It's just awsome.
 
I let myself tumble, end over end, faster and faster. With the wind rushing over me. once I get close to the ground, I put both hands out in front of me,
and land on my hands. I do a hand spring onto my feet, then I fly back to the top of the roof, and do it again. It was so much fun, that I kept doing this until I woke up.

Normally, When I become Lucid. I am so fascinated by the dream that I find myself in, that I never really try to change the scene. I just enjoy seeing whats around the next corner, or whatever. But one time, after becoming Lucid. I was feeling such a great sense of celebration, that I found myself on a beach, in the middle of a huge festival. Complete with music, and dancing, and food shops. After waking, I thought about it, and I realized that my feelings of celebration had created that whole scene. Because of this, I came up with this theory. That if a person could learn to understand, the thoughts and feelings behind the events that take place around them. they could learn to alter the dream, by generating the right thoughts and emotions, that go with what they want to create. This theory, Led to what was probably the most strange thing, that ever happened to me in a Lucid Dream.
 
A past Lucid Dream- Date: sometime in the late 90s
 
Hope I can describe this right.
 
I don't remember what was going on before I became Lucid. But I was in a stairwell of some building when I suddenly realized I was dreaming. It was kind of a boring place, just surrounded by walls and stairs. I was about to go looking for a way outside, but I then decided that I would try and see if I could make the outside world come to me. without closing my eyes, I visualized a mountain landscape. And I tried to generate the emotions I would feel if I was standing in that landscape at that moment. I take a deep breath, and completely relax. My arms at my sides, with the palms of my hands outwards. And with everything I had I tried to send the feeling of this mountain landscape rushing out of me as I exhaled. What happened next happened very fast and sudden.
 
The stairwell I was in suddenly spun around me in a blur and disappeared. And at the same time that it began to spin, I fell through the floor. It was more like I got sucked out of the bottom of the dream. And I was hurled completely out of control at high speed through a black nothingness. And for the first time ever, I was wondering if maybe I had done something I should not have. I was a little worried, but not really afraid. I was strangely curious about what would happen next. I only had a very brief moment, to wonder what was going on.
 
Because the next thing I know, a train suddenly appears below me. I literally fall into another dream scene! I land on my feet on top of a moving train.
My very first thought is, oh good I'm still dreaming. I am a little relieved to be back on familiar territory. I look around, and I am now riding the train through the most beautiful mountain landscape you can imagine. the clouds in the sky are a strange greenish color. And they are rolling and swirling, just like when they show the sky of a dream in a movie. I had done it! I completely changed the dream without taking one step to find my way outside. A little stunned from what had just happened, I didn't really know what to do next. So I just started hopping train cars until I reached the front of the train. Then I just stood there enjoying this spectacular scenery that I had just created. And there are now small birds flying around me, so close I could reach out and touch them. After a short while of riding I wake up.
 
I have not tried this again since, but I plan to sometime.

The first Lucid, after a few of years of not practicing Lucid Dreaming.
 
2006 was a year of retraining myself to Lucid Dream. And this is the first one of the year.
 
Monday/February/13/2006
 
I was having a wild and crazy adventure dream, about being on some kind of prison world. I suddenly became Lucid for no particular reason. I took off  running across this landscape, faster than any human being ever could. I leaped off of a hill and flew straight into the sky. Far below me, I could see rolling green hills, stretching away to a far distant tree line. Once the land was far far below me, I completely relaxed my body, and leaned backwards into an end over end spinning free fall.( My favorite Lucid activity.) The feeling of joy I am experiencing at this moment is beyond words.
 
Before hitting the ground, I fly back into the sky. I have this staff in my hand, I think it is supposed to be some kind of weapon. I begin doing a dance in the sky, like nothing I have ever done in a Lucid Dream before. I start spinning the staff around me, like some kind of Martial arts expert. And the whole time I am spinning and diving and doing backwards somersaults through the sky. I can feel the wind flowing over me and through me. I am in a state of pure Ecstasy. I drop the staff and I think I had lost it. But I am able to fly far faster, than it can fall. I catch it easily.
 
I notice on a hill, there is a line of tall telephone poles, with power lines stringing between them. I dive for the power lines, and I use the staff to catch onto them.
I have one hand on each end of the staff, and I am using it to slide down the power lines. When I get to each telephone pole, I swing out to the side and let go.
Then I catch back on, on the other side. When I get to the end, I swing off and spin through the air. Then I soar into the sky once again. I notice that there are some people on the ground watching me. After a few more minutes of acrobatics in the air, and swooping around I wake up. And I am just stunned, because of the awsome time I had just had.

The Hills Have Eyes induced Lucid Dream

In the dream I am at the cabin. The cabin is very secluded. There is a long driveway leading back into the woods. And the cabin is on a large pond. I am inside the cabin alone. I see a strange person outside the window. I go outside to see what's going on. There is a whole family of suspicious looking people out there. They are not really doing anything. they are just hanging out around the cabin. There is one guy sitting on the front porch, carving something with a knife. I somehow know that these people are insane. And they are just waiting for the right moment to come after me, and kill me. At this moment in the dream, I am very afraid.
 
I begin to walk away real slow, so as not to provoke an attack. And I am hoping that they will not notice that I am leaving. I walk down the driveway, and onto the main road. I walk down the main road a little way, when a white rusty car comes along real slow. I realize that this is another member of the insane family. The car pulls over, and a big man gets out and starts coming towards me. The man is carrying a large axe. it is not a wood cutters axe, but a medievil battle axe, with a double blade. I think about trying to run, but I know that I will not be able to get away. And I am to terrified to run anyway. I try to back away, but the man is now standing right in front of me. I suddenly get a burst of adrenalin, born of pure terror. And instead of trying to run, I attack. I yank the axe out of his hands, and begin swinging it at him like a madman myself. But now the man has become a large statue,
made of glass. and chunks of glass are breaking off, with my every swing. I am trying to smash him down into pieces, when I suddenly realize I am dreaming.
 
I lose all stress, and I drop the axe. I turn around, and look down the country road. the dream is no longer a nightmare. I completely forget about the situation I was just in, and I start walking down the road. I have no idea what I want to do, I just walk along looking at everything in amazement. there is a very peaceful country feeling. It is so quiet, and I can hear birds chirping.
On the right hand side of the road is a rocky cliff, and the rock is an orange color. I look up into the sky, I can see a large bird soaring over head. the bird has a wide wingspan, it must be an eagle. I keep walking along the road, and on the left hand side, is one of those scenic over look spots. I watch as a station wagon pulls up, and the people get out to look around. I watch them in fascination. I am thinking about how they are not real people, but they seem so real. there is a man and a woman, and some kids. The man looks over at me as I walk by. I try spinning a couple of times. nothing interesting happens. I think about flying, but I don't. I just keep walking, and staring at everything in wonder. you would think, that this was my first Lucid Dream, the way I am just gawking at everything. But no matter how many Lucid Dreams I Have, I never get over how amazing it is. I walk and walk.
 
Eventually I come to this town. The town looks so strange. The buildings and roads are all formed together, in a way that looks like a work of art. I decide that it would be fun, to walk into somebody's house, and see what's going on inside. So I walk up to a door, open it, and walk in. There is a family living there. It must be morning, because the kids are getting ready for school.
And the parents are getting ready for work. They don't even pay any attention to me. I walk around they're house watching in fascination as they go about they're routine, and just checking out the stuff they have. I wake up after a while.
 
I didn't really do anything in this Lucid Dream. But there was just something about the way it felt. that made it really magical, and a dream worth remembering. I guess you would have had to be there.

There was a very large polar bear chasing me. At some point I became Lucid,  I'm not sure exactly when. I flew into the air to get away from it. this was a pretty long Lucid dream. But the whole time, the bear was after me. I was actually kind of playing with it. Every time I would land, the bear would be there coming for me. I would wait until the last moment, then do a back flip into the air to get away from it. this went on for quite a while. Eventually the bear transformed into a small child. I then landed and was talking to some people. Somebody asked me how I could fly around like that. I told them it was simple,all you have to do is realize you are dreaming. Then I woke up.

Lucid #1
Well the first one was pretty short. I was climbing a hill, and when I get to the top, The hill becomes a cliff. It is to steep for me to get down. I slip and fall, then become Lucid right away. I just surrender to the fall, and I fall for a little while without fear, then I end up having a false awakening.
 
Lucid # 2
This one was better. I was in a mall, and I was with some people. I become Lucid for no reason. I say to somebody "hey check this out" Then I try to levitate to freak them out. But due to lack of lucid practice, my levitation skills are failing me. I do get into the air just a little bit, then fall back down. I give up, then just start doing all sorts of acrobatics. I am running around and doing handsprings all over the place. And doing somersaults and back flips off of and over everything. I am literally bouncing off the walls. I am running around doing this stuff until I wake up.

I was at the cabin, and I was feeling a little down in the dumps because I was not getting to far with my Lucid Dreaming. I had been trying hard for the last couple of weeks. Then I took a nap, and had a fun full blown Lucid dream.
 
Before I became Lucid there was some stuff about watching some fish. Then I was driving some big tractor. Then I was flying through the air, and there was this plane spraying some stuff on crops. Then the next thing I know, I am walking along taking in the beauty of this very amazing mountain landscape. Then I suddenly become Lucid.
This is one of those times when I became Lucid, just from the intense vivid beauty of the scene I am viewing. I am thinking about how strange it is, that I became Lucid now, but I didn't become Lucid while flying. I am very happy to be aware that I am dreaming again. I see some building. I run up to it, and leap and climb to the top of the roof. I can now see a whole sea of roof tops stretching out before me. I decide to run and jump from one roof to another. As I am jumping from roof to roof, the distance between them is getting farther and farther apart. The next one is really far, so I crouch and spring into the air with all my strength. As I leap through the air, I am wondering why I am using so much physical effort. When I know full well It is all mental volition.
I land easily on the next roof, Then something on the ground catches my attention. There is a young child playing. I do not want to spend the whole dream jumping roofs, even as fun as it is. So I jump down to see what he is doing. Him and some other children are playing some strange game. I see A young girl playing, and I decide to try an experiment. I visualize light flowing out of me, and into her. A strange thing happens. As she absorbs the light, she begins to grow.  And as I watch she grows into an beautiful adult. Then she walks over to me and gives me a hug. Nothing sexual happens, but the next thing I know, I am in a different scene all together. I am sitting outside with some guy that I work with, And he says to me,"you are really dreaming hard aren't you." I tell him that it's because I am Lucid dreaming, and I am having so much fun, that I don't want to wake up. But as I tell him that, I do start to wake up. For a moment, I am in two places. I am still sitting there with the guy from work. But at the same time I can feel my body on the bed, and I can hear the birds outside the cabin.
Then I end up fully waking up.

I was running again. I felt like I was in such great shape, because I was not getting tired at all. Then I started sliding on my feet as if I was skiing. (this happens often) then I jumped into the air, spun completely around, landed and kept on going. Then I was sliding along side some building. there was a concrete stairway, leading up to a door.
And it was in my way. I decided to just jump over it. I leap into the air, and I start to go higher than I should. Immediately I realize I am dreaming! Instead of landing I levitate myself higher. As I levitate past the roof of the building, I am looking down at it.
And I am just amazed at the vivid details my mind can create. The building is made of concrete, and I can see every bump and crack in the cement. But then I wake up right away.:(

This was a pretty Long Lucid Dream.
 
I was working at my old job, as a cook in Colorado springs. The normal stuff was going on. As always, when I cook in my dreams nothing goes right for me. I can't even get one order done right. Have you ever tried to cook an egg in a dream? Well it just won't work! I have become Lucid many times, from trying to cook in dreams.
Anyway, I was talking to a couple of the other cooks. when I suddenly stop and say,"wait a minute, I told myself that the next time I find myself working here, I would remember that I was dreaming!" Lucidity was slow in coming though. I almost told myself, "but this is real though." But this time I did not let myself give up that easy.
I say,"could this really be a dream? I shouldn't be here. I don't remember moving back to Colorado." I look around, and everything is so real, that I am having a hard time believing that it is not. I still do not give up. I look over at this sauce pot, that is on a burner cooking something. I stare at it for a minute, and I just kind of reach out with my mind, and try to feel if this is a dream. But I can't really tell, because my dreams have a different feel to them now, than when I used to Lucid dream all the time.
But slowly the realization comes to me. I am like "wow this really is a dream isn't it!"
And when I say that, the full realization washes over me. And I am really just kind of stunned. And I casually start to walk off of the cooks line, and towards the door that leads to the dining room. I get near the exit, when I see a bunch of fried eggs in a pan.
I want to see what this dream egg tastes like, so I pick one up and put it in my mouth.
It tastes very good, the yolk is just slightly runny. I leave the kitchen and I walk through the servers area. I watch in fascination, as the people are rushing around working. I then walk slowly into the dining area. The place is packed with people. every table is full. I slowly walk through, and I look at all the people at every table.
I am looking for the best looking girl in the place. But I can't seem to find anyone, that really catches my eye. I wander around, for quite a while, then I finally see a server that I like. She is very busy and rushing around. I ask her to come over here for a minute. And I take hold of her hand to keep her from rushing off. I look into her eyes, and I tell her she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Then I kiss her full on the lips. Then I let her go, because I don't want to waste this awesome Lucid Dream on sexual stuff. She is very surprised of course. I am not really sure what I want to do next.
I try to think if there was something specific, I wanted to try in my next Lucid Dream.
But I can't really think of anything. I decide, that I am going to leave the restaurant and go outside. I walk to the exit, and open the door. there is a small entryway that leads outside. As I pass through the entryway, I stop and take a moment to reflect. I am thinking, "wow I sure am having a full blown Lucid dream."  My thinking process, is perfectly normal, and I am fully aware that am standing here in a dream world.
 
I leave the entryway and step outside. I am on an average street, with houses along it.
I start to walk down the street to find some adventure, when I hear some woman yelling. "HELP!" "HELP!" I think about just ignoring it,and going on my way. But even though I know it's just a dream. It does not feel quite right, to just walk away. I think what the heck, this will probably be as fun as anything else. I take a few running steps in the direction that the call for help is coming from. I then leap into the air, and begin flying over the rooftops of the near by houses. I look down, and I see somebody Looking up at me. They seem surprised to see somebody flying. I fly along for a while,
then I see a stream that is rocky and fast moving. And it curves around a lot too.
There is a woman beside the stream, calling for help. I see that she has a small boy with her, And he seems to be injured in some way. I don't know what is wrong with him, but I think that I can heal him anyway. I fly down to them and land. I visualize light flowing out of me and into the child. Then  just like in the other Lucid Dream where I did this, the boy begins to grow. But he is growing all out of proportion. his head gets really big, like its blowing up like a balloon. Then his arms do the same thing. Then he starts to get taller. It is almost cartoon like. But he eventually gets back to normal, and he is now completely healed. The woman is very thankful. I am talking to them, when I wake up.
Note: I was very proud of myself for noticing this dreamsign. And not just shrugging the Idea off when I thought about it.
normally I either become lucid right away, or I forget about it, and get caught up with the dream.

A leap of faith
In this dream I am at the cabin. I am outside near the front of the property, and on the big hill near the highway. Instead of the hill sloping gradually down. I am standing at the top of a high rocky cliff, with a vertical drop. I am not sure how, or when I realized I was dreaming. But, as I look out over the edge of the cliff. I am about 90% aware that I am dreaming. I am thinking about jumping from the cliff, and trying to fly. But, as I look down at the rocks far below, I am afraid that I will fall. In waking life I have a bad fear of heights. But in Lucid Dreams, I never have any fear especially of heights. I love heights In Lucid Dreams. But right now I am afraid, so I am not fully Lucid. I say to myself "come on, you know it's a dream. even if you fall, you can, land on your feet with no harm." I only half believe it, and I am trying to convince myself. Then I do something I am very proud of. I take two steps and jump into open air! For a moment I have the sensation of pure terror. And I feel my stomach rise into my throat. Then, the full realization that I am dreaming, washes over me. I lose all fear, and I fly. I am Thinking wow another Lucid Dream. I fly around to where our driveway is, and I land. For some reason as I walk on the ground. I feel like I am losing lucidity. So I go back up to the high cliff and I jump again. Just to keep myself  Lucid. This time I jump with no fear. And as I fly back around I wake up.
