So, lately I have been not smoking pot(at least not at night time) in order to see my dreams more clearly. I have also been smoking a joint of calea zacatachichi (with a tad bit of bud, I'll admit) once nightly. This stuff works for me. My dreams started becoming vivid as ever about two weeks ago(due to a mixture of things, nootropics probably have something to do with it, also the change of 3g of cannabis smoked daily to about a third of a joint.). Then I started to understand my patterns all over again and now I have been lucid dreaming on a rather consistent basis.
I have done this three times, I will explain how I do it and then give an example of last nights' lucid dream..
First, have you ever thought about real life while lucid dreaming? Because I sure hadn't. My dreams have been becoming vivid and with a twist of symbolism that roots into my life's problems or the opposite of problems. I know why I had that dream because it usually correlates with something I have done wrong(or right) during that day or week.
Before bed I think; what am I scared of? What is going on in my head and how can I fix it? What did I do that was good today?.. etc.. Until eventually, I pass out.
Through doing this I have trained myself to do the following:
I approach a wall, and do the 'platform 9 3/4' trick, or simply find a door(I've only chosen doors that leave the place I am in). I think, 'Okay, what am I scared of? Whenever I jump through this wall or open this door I will see what I am most frightened of.' Once I enter, it all shifts into things that contain extreme symbolism as to what I am doing wrong. Then after I figure that all out, I will make those thoughts vanish as they have already served their purpose and move onto lighter things. All three times, the realm morphed into a place where I could remember what I have done that is good. Again it's symbolic.
Here's the example.
Last night, I fell straight into a lucid dream when I fell asleep.
I landed right onto this sofa at my work[?] (there's no fucking sofas in my work.. I fucking wish). I intended to do my technique so I went to the front door, closed my eyes, and thought really hard 'What's on the other side is what I am afraid of'. Open my eyes, slam the door open and it's my boss. But he is an evil looking giant. The man is by no means evil. but this showed me(as I already knew) that I have anxiety problems when talking to people of higher positions than myself. He told me that I couldn't leave and that I had to work a double and clean all the walls. I told him 'No. I know why you are saying this to me and I appreciate it, but I have better places to be right now and you couldn't understand as you're but a figment of my imagination right now.' Of course he refuted that, but I just pushed him aside and went around the building, thinking.. Okay.. Nice things. Nice things. Then, my grandma was there. She thanked me for eating lunch with her(I had eaten lunch with her that day) and told me that she loved me no matter what happened to her as she has bad health right now. She went on about how I have an incredible imagination and an uncanny ability to remember information and be unbiased. So I gave her a big fat hug and said thank you. I then got into my car and I don't remember anything after that. It was a short one.
Okay so, I already know about my weird soft spot of talking to people who I view as 'more important than myself' for whatever reason, even though I know deep down that it's not true. But the experience of seeing my boss look like that was like a moment of clarity. I understood what was wrong and it was beyond words(or I forgot them by the time I woke up.). It stuck though and at work today, I talked non stop to my boss because it was slow. I asked him about his personal life and we talked back and forth and it was a good day. Now I believe things will be much easier in that aspect.
My grandma saying those things really stuck and made me feel mighty proud when I woke up. It sounds conceded to say that what she was saying is true, but to the best of my knowledge it actually is. And if it isn't, it still helps. Whatever works.
This has happened three times and each time is different, facing a different demon and a different angel, so to speak. What will happen when all of them have been met and processed? This has been a real thinker for me lately.
