There was the other day I had a dream in which I was actually aware that I am dreaming. This kind of dream is called lucid dreaming and I find it very.. fascinating! It was amazing. There was no physical laws in the dream but the dream has its own limits. It means they don’t always seem what should look in the real life. Everything in it is somewhat blurred or misplaced depending on how your mind produces within a dream.
I knew I was dreaming at the moment I thought I was awake. It began when I woke up from long dream..which was just another meaningless dream. I went back to asleep yet, I tried to wake up because I realized I needed to do shopping. I was too sleepy due to heavy medication which made me feel a bit sedated. It was hard to wake up because of meds so I tried to make myself fall off a couch I was sleeping on. If I fell on the floor, I should’ve woke up completely.
But I didn’t….
When I fell off a couch, I didn’t land on the floor; instead I was hovering on…something! For a minute I felt a strong vibration against my whole body but I was actually in the air. I was like wow this is really cool. I knew I was lucid dreaming.The floor was disappearing and I was flying in the sky. Everything suddenly turned dark like the day became the night again. I felt cold wind against my face as if I was skydiving. It seemed like 15 minutes since I was in the air.
After a couple minutes passed, I slowly landed into an unfamiliar house which wasn’t my home. It turned out that I was in some stranger’s home but nobody was home there. I was hovering on the floor. I looked around and every room was dark but I could see as if I had a night vision. In my sight, it looked like dark purple.
I went into the bathroom to use a mirror to see if I can see myself. Oddly, the mirror was blurred from stream. I wiped it but couldn’t see myself. I could only see a stranger in the mirror. It was a caucasian girl. Or a red-head girl. She hissed at me as if she was trying to frighten me. I chuckled and wiped the mirror again. I saw an unfamilar face of a hispanic woman which confused me.
“What the…. DUCK!!!” (LOL)
How could I see strangers that I’ve never seen in my entire life? I tried to wipe the mirror a couple times, and ended up seeing different faces. Then a brilliant idea came on my mind, I wiped the mirror while I was attempting to create a beautiful woman in the mirror but did not succeed. I frowned at my failure.
And I felt something vibrating in my arm which I knew it was coming from my iPhone. I sighed, and looked up and flew into the ceiling which turned into the dark sky. I returned to my own body without seeing my body.
I woke up and checked my iPhone.
It was a hearing woman who called me through SIP Relay, just to ask how I am. It was 1:05pm. (Late, I know..blame medication.)
Oh gosh, I was pretty annoyed….well that’s that. Couldn’t return to lucid dreaming. My researches on lucid dreaming says it takes years to master lucid dreaming.
But was that astral projection?
No, but let’s not go there. Not getting any insane anytime soon……………………..

Wow! Thank you! I continuously wanted to write on my website something like that. Can I take a portion of your post to my website?
