I decided that it would be a good idea to log some of my dreams prior to the creation of this dream journal. I figured It can only serve to further help me reflect on myself. These logs will be put into the category “Recollection” and will be tagged with /R/ so that I could keep track of each recollection entry and each dream journal entry.
On quite a uneventful night which I can not recall the date of, I was struck with a dream so vivid and realistic that the only word to describe it is “profound.” I should also note that this happened sometime after my first experience with pot. To continue, I had just come out from a bus in a location I was not familiar with. There was a school too but I didn’t recognize it. The unfamiliarity of everything must have sparked my lucidity. In fact, this was the first time I can recall that I was actuatly lucid in a dream. Being lucid in a dream is an extremely amazing experience. In a normal dream things kinda just happen like your on a roller coaster and you have absolutely no control. In a lucid dream you have control over your movement and thought. So anyways, I was walking down the road and it kinda felt like I was high on marijuana with a general sense of confusion. Beside me were some people I was familiar with and that I had smoked with too. We were walking down this road and all of the sudden they were gone. I than experienced a sensation of floating. However, I had lost control of my movement, the best way I can explain it is that I was falling vertically towards something. I saw a fence with a bright light and I kept moving forward to it. With control of mind I had began to experience great fear when going towards this light and so I tried to resist it. All of the sudden I fell vertically in the other direction and regained consciousness in the real world. I had vision of everything around me but there was just one problem… my body was completely paralyzed!!! What came next was incredibly and intense sense of fear couple with a large buzzing noise in my head that I felt and sounded completely real. At that moment I was freed from paralysis and used this opportunity to surf the net and discover what had happened. I experienced sleep paralysis, but fortunately enough I had not seen the usual hallucinations that accompany it and in comparison to most cases my experience was relatively short.
Oh and theres something else I would like to add about lucid dreams. They are usually so intense and real that it is actuatly quite easy to remember them unlike your usual dream. Noting this, it most likely that my entries in recollection will consist of lucid dream since those are the only ones I can really remember.
