So to make the story short, I have been trying to have a lucid dream for months, and this is the first time that I believe I “may” have succeeded - but I don’t know.
I set two alarms, one for 08:00 AM, and one for 08:03 AM. I wanted to be woken up, suggest to myself that the next time I hear the alarm I will become lucid, and then fall asleep again before the next alarm is activated three minutes later – fair enough.
I went to sleep. I was woken up by the alarm, and I shut it off, before going back to sleep. At this point I was too tired to even do the mental suggestion, I didn’t even care if I would lucid dream or not, I only wanted to continue sleeping!
And then as I close my eyes, I see this grey-ish “web” of spiral galaxies covering my entire field of vision, like, small spiral galaxies one next to the other, everywhere – and they’re all flying towards me, over and over again, infinitely, never getting there. I am confused here, because I always heard that I am supposed to see various colors and patterns, but I only see this very consistent pattern, and it’s grey-ish.
Anyway, while this is happening, I start hearing a dull “machine sound”, it was like a car engine. I then remember that it all went quiet and I went out of the bed only to find that I am dreaming, and I walked around the apartment and even summoned a character – I know that I felt fantastic because of how I acted in the dream, but I don’t feel that same excitement in the waking world. So I am starting to think that it may have been a dream of a lucid dream, where I didn’t actually become lucid.
Any ideas?
By the way, this is the first experience I have had, ever.
