456-LD: Muse-Indian on bicycle

 

9:38am

This is the second lucid dream. I went to bed again, practicing MUSE breathing, counting breathing in, out, counting one in, two out, one out, two in, two out, and then feeling the whole body repeating the same thing.

In, feel the whole body, two breathe, feel the whole body, and then I went in and out with several dreams, and each time I came out of the dream, I can easily go back to sleep just by doing the counting of the breath, thanks to the MUSE breathing, which I restarted earlier yesterday. I stopped MUSE for, I think one year plus, now I restarted again.

So in this second lucid dream, I was, found myself in a building, and I think it was white, inside, I was inside, and then realized that this could be a dream, and I clapped my hands, and I heard the clapping, it was so loud, and the clap feels very real, more real than

the other previous OBS and dreams.

And then I started flying, flying around, and I touched everything as I flew, I touched, and I flew out of the building, I flew very fast, up in the air, like Superman, and I flew with wild abandoned, not bothering whether or not the dream would fade, and below me the scenery zoomed very fast, and then I decided to land somewhere, and I landed on the grass, in the daytime, it was open area, there were houses all around, and I flew quite fast as I landed, and I rubbed my hands across the grass, the grass felt very real, and I was so happy.

And I also went to a tree, tree trunk, I put my both hands on the tree and touched it, and I could see some words inscribed in the tree, my name was there as well, and as I looked, the words keep changing, and this confirmed that it's a lucid dream also, because in lucid dreams, the text don't appear the same, it keeps changing, and I also had a digital watch, and when I look at the time, it also keep changing, the time keep changing.

And I was walking there along the grass patch, and beside there was a road, then there was somebody on a bicycle road pass, I touched him, but just barely, and he rode very fast away, he was an Indian man, and then along came another Indian man, and this time I asked him, he also rode bicycle very fast, asking what is your name, and he mentioned his name clearly, but I can't remember now, and then he also rode fast.

And then now I keep exploring the area there, touching everything, rubbing this and rubbing that, it was so realistic, so clear, everything was so clear, and I didn't bother to do sadhana or any of the mind-focusing thing, because I remember that trying to do sadhana, healing or loving-kindness, and any of the mind-focusing thing, it would cause the dream to collapse, so I just explore.

I keep moving and moving and exploring, and see how long it lasts, and then I think I reached one stage where I slowed down, and ran out of things to do, and I think that's when the dream faded.

So I think no matter what, if you keep on insisting on the breathing in and breathing out,

and counting, and feeling the breath, and feeling the whole body, for sure you can sleep,

just be patient, for sure you can sleep, and have lucid dreams.

And earlier in before this lucid dream, I also had very few dreams in which I was talking to a group of friends about lucid dreaming as well, and wished that we could share lucid dreams, and they agreed, and then there was a girl as well, I wanted to ask her to be a lucid dream partner, she was in a rush, rushing here, rushing there, and running, and it was at night, and in the end I told her, I did ask her that did you know about lucid, what is lucid dream, she doesn't know, and I explained a bit. And then she was so rushed that in the end I told her, are you in a hurry, she said yes, then I said maybe next time I'll talk to you, she looks like Chan Lin Li.

So now I'll pursue this new strategy that I started yesterday, I restarted the Muse headband yesterday, and I think I will use it for two purposes. Firstly to achieve enlightenment through mindfulness of breathing Anapanasati by practicing with the headband, and the second purpose is to use it to help me fall asleep at night, and whenever I awake from a dream, I will keep very still not to move, and I will use, then I will do the test - exit technique test,

and then I will do this breathe counting and fall back to sleep to get into the lucid dream or OBE, this will be my new strategy.  I will use the Muse headband for practice during the day, and at night do breathing, counting and breathing.
