Examples of this could be bizarre things you notice about your own appearance. It is also important to record your dreams. Whether that be waking up and verbally recalling what happened, or writing it down somewhere. Another method is to catch yourself while in REM sleep, which stands for rapid eye movement. This image helps to explain what REM sleep is, and how it cycles. This is the point when lucid dreams are most likely to occur, so if you can wake up and fall back asleep during this time, you will have a good chance of lucid dreaming.
Also, REM sleep is usually in full swing during naps! I would love to know if any of you know how to do this, or have had it happen to you before! The idea of lucid dreaming is such an intriguing one, and I love learning about it! The dream was that I in the bathroom of my old home, but I noticed something crazy about my appearance, which was that I was shrunken down to a very small size, and there were a bunch of toys from Toy Story with me — yes, kind of weird.
Majority of the time waking myself up is how I lucid dream, or if I am having a nightmare I have learned to turn myself around and just ignore what is there. I have always wondered if lucid dreaming could lead into further or more powerful things, and this website I found gives examples of some of this. One person apparently got rid of their fear of death while another could solve math problems once they woke up.
I looked into that link! The person who could solve the math problems by studying them before bed is so interesting. It goes on to say that she then used that to help her through medical school!
I think it is so fascinating that you have been able to become aware that you are dreaming. Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I was hoping to get a response like that with someone who has experience with it! You must be logged in to post a comment.
He had come to pick her up without accusations, without any questions. As they were driving back to Lucas' apartment, none of them dared to speak. Hanna didn't know how to broach the subject, and Caleb had gained his experience over the years never to push things with Hanna. She would talk to him when she was ready for it. So they had driven in silence all the way up to the curb in front of Lucas' apartment, where Hanna was currently living.
Caleb stopped the car and pulled the key from the ignition.
For the first time in hours, Hanna's mouth formed a little smile as she acknowledged that after all this time, he could still read her so well. I wouldn't have let you be all by yourself after what happened last night anyway," he continued. We should get you tucked in so you can catch some sleep. Hanna checked her watch. It was past 3 AM. Her body was still so tense, she couldn't imagine she'd be able to sleep for the rest of the night. But Caleb was right. Maybe sleep would help her feel better in the morning. They climbed out of the jeep and walked quietly up to her apartment where Hanna unlocked the door and closed it shut after Caleb had stepped inside, too.
They both stood looking at each other. A strange kind of awkwardness filled the room. The last time they'd been here together, they had ended up all over each other on the cozy shag right in front of Lucas' electric fireplace.

It had felt unreal to be kissed and touched by Caleb again after she had been wanting it for so long. And now she wanted more than anything for him to hold her again so she could feel real in this horror movie that her life had turned into. But where were they now? Were they back together? She had her arms crossed in front of her chest, trying to preserve her body temperature. She seemed insecure, smiling tentatively. He didn't know why she didn't just go about getting ready for bed.
And most notably he couldn't tell if she expected him to stay or leave. She said something about helping her with a personal problem.
But where were they now? Blatant reposting and plagiarism may result in a ban. Hanna checked her watch. But yeah, it's not completely harmless, you got me there, but given how overblown it is, especially 'murica, it's pretty darn harmless in comparison.

She looked so vulnerable right now. He just wanted to take her into his arms and comfort her for as long as she needed. Putting another foot forward, Caleb said: She put her arms around his neck and sank into his embrace, breathing a sigh of relief. Caleb held her in his arms and ran his hand soothingly over the small of her back. They stood like this for some time, and Hanna felt the tension slowly leave her body. He smelled fresh, like he had recently showered, which led Hanna to believe he must have had a cold shower to help him wake up when she had called him in the middle of the night and asked if he could pick her up from the hospital.
She smiled inwardly and enjoyed being held by him. How could he not when she looked at him with those big blue eyes and her long waves of hair all ruffled… so imperfect… yet so beautiful. Hanna undressed herself standing next to the bed, having no inhibitions to show herself almost naked in front of Caleb. Then put on a pair of sweatpants and a long-sleeved shirt.
She was fully aware of his presence and set the boundaries by putting on her comfortable, not-sexy-at-all pajamas. She knew exactly what she wanted - even that he might want it just the same - but she realized that this wasn't the right time. She wouldn't be able to enjoy it the right way. Caleb went to the bathroom, and Hanna lied down in the middle of the queen-size bed, leaving it to Caleb to decide which side of the bed he preferred. She pulled the covers up to her chin and came to rest lying on her side, hoping Caleb would get the notion.
He returned a couple of minutes later, wearing nothing but a t-shirt and boxers. Taking in the sight in front of him, he instantly knew where she wanted him to lie down. He surrounded the bed and got under the cover. Then he shuffled his body all the way to where she was lying and spooned her.
When he had found the right angle closest to her body, he looped his right arm through the space between her pillow and shoulder, so she could put her head on it instead, and began stroking the length of her arm with his other hand. When he had reached her hand, he gave it a slight squeeze, then moved back up along her arm all the way to her shoulder.
He repeated his ministrations and noticed how her body started to feel less stiff. A sudden surge of warmth flooded Hanna's body. She no longer felt cold and finally allowed all of her bones and muscles to relax.
Hanna realized she never wanted to spend another night without him, for the rest of her life. In his arms, the world always seemed lighter and brighter. In his arms, she could finally forget her fears. The horrific images of Noel Kahn's head rolling down the stairs seemed to blur in her mind, pushed to the farthest corner of her memory and replaced by other images that resurfaced in her mind, stirred by Caleb's touches… soft hands roaming her naked body, pulling on her hair in a frenzy… his mouth exploring her body thoroughly… the heat emanating from the fireplace right next to them, jumping over to their united bodies… It had felt like their very first time all over again.
Hanna smiled and closed her eyes, feeling hopeful that now that Noel Kahn was dead, everything would go back to normal again. Tomorrow morning she would wake up next to Caleb; she was off to a good start. Thinking she could finally sleep now, she let the tiredness take over at last. Suddenly she gasped for breath when Caleb's hand left her arm, moved lower and wound its way underneath her shirt, gently stroking the newly-discovered patches of naked skin on her stomach, all the way across to the underside of her breasts.
He tucked his hand in between the mattress and her rib-cage and slowly moved it up along, stopping only when he could cup her breast entirely. When she didn't shake it off, he boldly decided to leave it there for the rest of the night, knowing she had always loved cuddling like this when they were dating.
Hanna opened her eyes, thinking hard whether she should turn around and give into his approaches. She held her breath and stirred slightly. When Caleb noticed her reaction, he broke the silence, "Shhhh, baby.
Go to sleep now. Hanna woke up at half-past nine the next morning. Even though she could hardly have slept more than 4 hours, she felt refreshed and ready to face the new day. She turned around, expecting to find Caleb still sound asleep next to her. But the other half of her bed was empty. She flinched at the idea that Caleb pulled off the same smooth move like she had two days ago.
Not being able to hide her disappointment, Hanna threw her head on the pillow, groaned loudly, and pulled the blanket up over her head. Caleb snuck to her side of the bed, pulled the blanket from her face, and said: Hanna shrieked the moment he uncovered her head. Not everybody leaves without saying goodbye the morning after," he playfully reminded her. Let's have breakfast first. I got us some croissants and I made you coffee.
