LD: A trip to Mars

I find myself in front of an unfamiliar house with a large garden. There are a lot of people outside, and I decide to join them. I float over to them so quickly that it catches everyone's attention.

"How did you do that?!" one of them asks, astonished.

"I can only do this in dreams, so we must be dreaming!" I reply with a grin.

Just to be sure, I do a reality check: I pinch my nose and try to breathe through it. Yep, I'm in a dream! Feeling excited, I decide to go to Ireland and wonder if anyone wants to come along.

"Do you want to come with me to Ireland?" I ask a woman nearby.

"Sure, but how?" she replies.

"I’ll fly us there, so hold on tight!"

Without hesitation, she jumps onto my back, and I soar into the air. As we fly, I spot a building ahead and decide to impress her by heading straight for it.

"Close your eyes!" I tell her.

We fly right through the building, and the dream begins to fade. I can feel the debris swirling around us, so I know we're still in the dream, but everything is getting blurry and dark. After a few moments, the dream begins to render again.

And, of course... we're not in Ireland at all.

Instead of the green hills of Ireland, we're surrounded by a strange red landscape, with no one in sight. In the distance, I spot a vintage amusement park.

"Wait, are we on Mars? And is that an amusement park? What do you think? Is it alright if we explore this first and save Ireland for another time?"

The woman agrees, and we decide to explore the amusement park.

Sadly, I wake up before we even make it to the entrance.

A visionary guide to Lucid Dreaming by Lee Adams

This book was recently shared for free in the Discord group The Icarus Project by Lee Adams himself. It’s a server entirely dedicated to lucid dreaming... and it makes things fun with different tiers. So, of course, the book immediately went onto my reading list. The book is divided into five parts: The Dreamer and the Dream Lucid Dreaming: Foundational Techniques Working with Your Dreams The Dreamer’s Journey Advanced Tools and Supplements for Lucid Dreaming With a total of 30 chapters. Yes, 30! With so many chapters, you know this isn’t just a basic book on dreaming. The Introduction The first part covers what lucid dreaming is, what’s important to have lucid dreams, the difference between lucid dreams and OBEs (Out-of-Body Experiences), and why awareness is key to the lucid dreaming journey. Lee delves into the different states of consciousness, mindfulness, and daily habits. This quote sums it up nicely: "Developing the skill of lucid dreaming is developing the habit of being...

LD: The Black Puma

I remember standing outside a mall while my fiancé is indoors. A kid walks toward our car, touches something, and runs away fast. When my fiancé returns, he gets inside the car, and we continue our journey. The car starts to have a mind of its own—it doesn’t stop when he hits the brakes but simply keeps driving! We try to navigate, but it gets out of control. I do a reality check, realize that I’m dreaming, and decide to fly through the roof of the car. My fiancé manages to get out too, and we fly away. I remember a landscape of rolling hills and beautiful nature when I suddenly see the black puma I met more than 15 years ago in one of the earliest false awakenings I can recall. Back then, he sat right outside my front door, and now he’s sitting there again—identical, calm, looking at me. Remembering a quest I wanted to complete in a lucid dream, I wonder: is he my animal guide? Or are there more? Suddenly, I see a grey parrot, and then another one in different colors....

The Head Trip by Jeff Warren

Another one from my old collection. It’s been a while since I last read this book, but I remember finding it fascinating, so I thought it deserved a spot on my blog. Naturally, I’m rereading it. The concept of this book revolves around a wheel—the Wheel of Consciousness. This wheel moves, in general, according to our biological clock, following a 24-hour cycle. Sometimes, it turns faster; at other times, it moves more slowly. The book is divided into two parts: Night and Day . From there, it splits further into segments of the “pie” (or wheel). First up: Night, starting with its opening chapter: Hypnagogia There aren’t many books dedicated to hypnagogia. I did review one recently ( Liminal Dreaming ) that dives deeply into the subject. It’s only in recent years that writers have started focusing entire books on this topic, which is great for those who want a comprehensive look. But for anyone not ready to commit to a full book, this chapter provides an excellent summary. Image by Jeff...
