Well, I got an awesome LD a few nights ago. It was a LD but I’ll explain how I think it was ‘Beyond a Dream’. Here goes.
Heres how it went. I wake up from a nap in rural upstate, Cambridge, NY in my step brother’s bed. But I don’t remember how I got there. I stand up bleery eyed and wake myself up. Everything seems to be fairly normal here. But when I look out the window everything is especialy vivid and the sky looks deep blue, almost violet in color, without any clouds. I thought everything looked oddly pristine outside.
I walk into the hallway and then peek into my brothers room hes lieing down and I hear a soft huffing sound from him as he sleeps. I remember seeing a fan and that it was turned on but I didn’t hear the sound. I didn’t register it as something out of the ordinary.
I walk back into my step brother’s room and pack a bowl and smoke it up. I’m feeling energized immediately so I decided it would be cool to go on a walk. I start walking down the street on the sidewalk and its warm, and maybe around 1-2 pm. I remember thinking I heard alot of planes overhead but didn’t see any. I just kept hearing a constant buzzing noise. I keep walking.
At this point I haven’t realized i’m dreaming yet. I just keep walking…it seems like I was travelling quite quickly because before I know it i’m on the train tracks several miles away from my Dad’s house. Nature, around me, like before just seems vibrant and colorful but in another way. Dead of life and sterile. I kind of stopped here and gazed at the sky for awhile and the colors were so brilliant. I saw floaters and sparklers in my sight and I was just awed by the clouds. I was startled then by some dogs that were barking behind me. I started moving more quickly because I felt like they were after me. I was able to anticipate the wood seperating the spikes quite easily. My vision was outlined in a fading red to blue color. It was like superimposed on my normal vision and it expanded what I could see as I ran. I saw my feet move even though I was looking straight down the train tracks as far as I could see. I remember being able to make out subtle details-what must’ve been miles ahead of me-out of the standard chaos of shadows and color.
I would keep hearing dogs all around me. But when I stopped thinking about the dogs. I would stop hearing the sounds. This is how I figured out I was dreaming. As soon as I started to think about dogs and how they were chasing me I would hear dogs barking in almost all directions.
I thought this was hilarious and I had a humerous but awesome, good feeling. I lied back down on the train tracks then and continued to gaze at the clouds. And… HOLY SHIT… I found I could move the clouds. I could form them in any pattern I wished. It was really weird at first because it seemed like I had the paranoid affects of marijuana…even though it was…dream marijuana. And the dogs would keep forcing their way back into my awareness. Along with an intense feeling that I was being hunted by extremely dangerous Illuminati agents or something. I mean…thats pretty sever paranoia for a bit of pot. The affects must’ve been boosted because of the dream.
I am an avid meditator in reality. And I decided I should meditate to get rid of some of my jitters! I began to move through buddhist mantra. I also did some breathing exercises. I found that I had more control as I meditated!! I was able to move the clouds easier and I made birds appear and generaly made a lighter world. Everything seemed to shine with innate contentment and happiness.
Ok heres where the dream began to get really scary. I continued to meditate and did some weird things with the repetitve pattern of the train tracks. After I got bored of that I looked back up at the clouds and I saw this yellow spot of clouds jut out from a group of them. I was sure that this was the “Yellow Submarine” of Beatles fame. Because it looked just like one. I thought it was a sign from John Lennon or something. Soon thereafter a huge dragon made of one huge cloud taking up nearly the entire sky was formed. It was the only cloud in the sky. I saw that it looked down at the earth as if surveying the inhabitants. The thing looked plain evil and was a darker hue then the other forms I’d seen. I felt that it was a being of sorts and that the clouds were there to protect it from being seen from human eyes. I analyzed it for awhile. Then it began to turn its from towards me. The neck and head moved and I felt a huge fear enter me. It was looking straight at me…its as if this great beast noticed that I could see it. And It was unhappy. I was piss fucking afraid and at this point I kept trying to wake myself. The dream didn’t seem to want to let me go, though. The clouds then began to reform and this time I saw the face of satan. This was the face of evil. Its difficult to describe but it was just fear incarnate… The face grew in the sky and it seemed to descend towards me. It kept comming closer and closer. I was paralyzed, standing on the train tracks and then below it formed what I was sure was the image of Jesus on the cross. It took me an instant to be filled with a great love and hope and just then I was able to wake up.
The weird thing about this, is that I am not a very religious person at all. But I fel that the whole thing was very good vs evil. That somehow Satan was loose on the earth. And Jesus was waiting for his reign of evil to end…or waiting to see who would embrace him for safety from the chaos.
But then again… I think that it could have been residual fear from my days of being scared witless from Sunday School. But still what a tremendous dream experience it was. It was long and dramatic. It happened a few days ago but I still find myself remembering parts of it. I feel that it affected me quite deeeply. My next lucid dream will definetly involve meditation and or dream drugs.
Great dream, though. It looks like you managed to get quite a good level of control. I thought it was quite amusing how you managed to turn the dogs on and off with just your thoughts. 
) But I would take it as a sign of something. What did it mean to you?
