Tattoo: Otherworldly Dreaming Tree

very cool artwork.

I remember my first lucid dream. It was the first night after having watched "A Waking Life" by Richard Linklater many years ago. Just as suggested in the movie, in my dream, i happened to flip a light switch and nothing happened. I immediately realized I was dreaming and there was an eruption of self awareness from which i awoke soon after. After that experience I had many more and became completely fascinated with exploring the experience. From very simple empty space, trying to control the basic movement of dots to very detailed flying around and meeting people, demons, and new realms,connections etc. The most profound experiences were a few seemless transitions from waking state to dreaming state without losing consciousness. Droping my body and falling into this new space, or just rising from the couch and bursting through walls, testing my boundaries.

It's been many years since I've experienced a lucid dream unfortunately. Any more I don't even remember having dreams at all. I should try to get back into such things. These were remarkable experiences.

@xeldal I am very interested to hear about that! Did you ever have any experiences that made you want to quit lucid dreaming or did you loose interest? I ask because I had some experiences in the past that made me want to stop lucid dreaming I may write about at some point. I am over it now though.

No, there were some frightening things, but i suppose because of my experience with meditation I was able to sit through them. It was kind of liberating in a way to know that I was able to, but certainly left me a bit shook up. I don't think this deterred me at all as it wasn't often this way. I think my waking life just changed and I became absorbed in other things and didn't find time for meditation, pursuing further lucid dreaming, and various other practices. Unfortunate really, as looking back on this time I consider it to be where I found most meaningful growth and I don't feel I've done much since then personally/spiritually. I'd be interested in reading about your experiences at some point that made you want to stop. : )

you possess global management theory?

I'm not sure what that is.
