On 06 October 2013 at 5:09 AM... “I just woke up from a lucid dream. What I was dreaming about before doesn't much matter. What I want to describe is the trigger. I had gotten locked out of a building I was supposed to be inside of, but when I tried to enter my PIN into the number pad lock I couldn't. Some of the buttons were too big and others were too small and the numbers kept getting jumbled around. That's when I realized that I was dreaming. I thought, "This doesn't make any sense. Why do the buttons keep getting jumbled up? This must be a dream!" I decided to test it by trying to fly. So I turned around and there was an unusual looking young man striding toward me. I stretched one arm above me, making a fist and willed myself to fly-- and I did. I rose slowly up into the air about 20 feet or so. The young man did the same. He was dressed in a sort of superhero costume. It was red and white, but had no cape. We just hovered there, looking at each other. He said, "This is your dream. You can do whatever you want." I turned and started flying toward a stand of trees. I kept thinking how detailed they were, how I looked as if I could reach out and touch them. I thought, "They look so real, it's hard to believe I'm in a dream." I guess reminding myself that I was dreaming again was too much and I began to feel myself waking up. It was just like falling asleep, but in reverse. "No! No! No!" I thought, but it was too late. I woke up. But the cool thing is that I recognized a trigger. I had found an article online about training oneself to dream lucidly, and one of the tricks was that in a dream numbers would always be screwy, clocks would have numbers in the wrong places, etc. I remembered that article IN MY DREAM, tested it and found it to be true. http://pinterest.com/pin/133489576428091935/ And so the DSV Morpheus sets sail!
