Over the past couple weeks I’ve had several lucid dreams and several dreams with significant imagery for myself. I’m starting to find the triggers to step into a lucid dream. Before falling asleep, I have mentally asked one of my spirit allies to come into my dreams and then told myself when I see him that that will be the trigger my awareness of being in a dream.
That night in one of my dreams, I was leaving the house and was stepping out the door and there was Sasquatch, I panicked for a moment and then realized I was dreaming. I then looked at the Sasquatch and he was clearer in appearance than I ever remember seeing before. He then told me something and disappeared. He actually spoke to me and I saw his mouth move. I’m used to just hearing his voice in my head. So this was all new in connecting with him. Unfortunately, I still need to work around my reaction to when I see him, because the emotional state woke me up at that point. I’ll have to write more about working through this fear in another post.
One of the other triggers I have found in my dream is seeing someone I’m really sexually attracted too in my dream. I had two dreams this week that started out this way. After becoming very sexually aroused I realized I was dreaming and started to direct the dream and wander in the dream looking to see what was in my environment. To be honest once I realized I was dreaming there wasn’t much there in the dream. The landscape was pretty empty and just a couple “characters” to interact with.
Nothing like fear and lust to shift ones awareness in a dream state. But at least I know what I can do to signal “hey it’s a dream.”
