I had another lucid dream experience this morning. My husband got up to go to work and when I fell back to sleep I was really aware of my dreaming state, which I was able to maintain pretty well. I first realized I was dreaming by recognizing a visual of something which I can’t remember what it even was now, and realizing it was a dream. I remember thinking “wow, that’s really vivid and clear” while I was looking at whatever it was. From there, the first thing I thought to attempt was using my lucidity as a launching point into astral projection, which unfortunately did not work. I thought it did at first, I felt a rush, but then it felt like I merged back in with my body. I should have tried again. I also kept trying to use commands like “clarity now!” as that’s what William Buhlman recommends in order to see in astral projection. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me. I tend to experience astral blindness a lot, which actually may just be an indicator that I’m not actually out of my body. I can’t see anything, I’m asleep, yet I’m conscious in what feels like nothingness/blackness. It’s a bit frustrating but I’m sure I’ll learn how to see eventually, with more practice.
My goal of trying to astral project was to attempt to get out of body and simply go to the end of my bed and try to heal my foot. I’ve been dealing with a heel spur that’s been really interfering with my day-to-day life and makes walking uncomfortable. So, years ago I had a healing experience during a period I was actively learning reiki. During this period, I was about to wake up from sleep one day and while I was still unconscious, I heard a woman’s voice say “feel the sacred heat energy”. Kind of a strange thing to say but when she said that, I felt a really hot burning sensation in my hands and then a really hot burning sensation in my liver region. I had been dealing with liver pain for quite awhile, and from that day forward, my liver was healed. I believe I was being taught how to perceive reiki healing energy. A couple years ago I went to see a reiki practitioner for some inner child healing stuff, and while she was doing the reiki, I was able to physically perceive that heat energy and where in the body it was being directed, which was my torso region. This lead to some emotional release. Anyhow, back to the experience at hand, I can physically perceive reiki/healing energy and while I was lucid I attempted to replicate that feeling of healing heat energy in my hands, and I was successfully able to replicate it. My theory is that if I can manage to get out of body and astral project to the end of my bed, I can lay my astral hands on my foot, replicate that healing heat energy in my hands, and effectively heal my foot and dissolve the spur in my heel. I was unsuccessful this time but next time, I will try again.
Another thing I wish I would have thought to try while I was lucid was the phone technique to call my subconscious. I’ve been dealing with some subconscious stuff surfacing through dreams and I really want to try and do some shadow work using this technique. The idea is that in a lucid dream, you dial your own phone number on a phone, and from there you’ll be able to speak directly with your subconscious mind and ask it questions. I want to attempt to use this technique for shadow work, ask myself questions on why I am the way that I am, if I have repressed memories, and how I can heal certain aspects of myself and breaking patterns that I’ve really been struggling with. Deep inner healing work. Also, I just want to have a really strong connection with my subconscious, because I think it holds a lot of wisdom and is a connection to the ‘higher self’, and I think gaining a connection to the higher self could go even deeper, perhaps remembering things from past lives, other abilities, untapped potential, and relearning things that has ultimately been hidden from human kind about what we really are and the potential we have. A true spiritual awakening. A theory I hope to soon test!
Anyways, not too much else happened in the dream. I was lucid on and off. I did attempt messing with the dream a bit, commanding it to become more vivid and vibrant, which it did a little. But nothing else too crazy. I just wish I had thought to do more while I was in there, but I’m sure I’ll get another opportunity soon. I’ve been having a lot of opportunities to get lucid lately and the more I do it the easier it might become to recognize when I’m dreaming, I’m hoping.
‘Til next time!
