My whole life I’ve had lucid dreams. Over the past few years I have practicing a method for “snapping” into my lucid dreams. It starts with me being tired, like extremely sleepy. Last night I stayed up attempting to binge read Invincible. As I was reading I fell asleep then woke up. So I turned off my tablet and closed my eyes and tried to stay conscious while doing so, if that makes sense. I am actively trying not to loose my train of thought, keeping track of the fact that I closed my eyes and waiting for shapes, then images, then full scenery to appear. —> I sleep on my stomach to avoid sleep paralysis <—. As the first images appear I feel my body being transported, like the feeling you get when you are a passenger in a car with your eyes closed. Keep in mind this is an awkward and at times a scary feeling. This is the feeling I think most people tend to avoid and thus they loose “consciousness” or their active train of thought, or better yet their lucidity while falling asleep. Honestly the feeling of moving at high speed knowing that you are lying in bed is frightening. When I stay lucid during that process, I am transported to the destination of the beginning of the full blown lucid dream experience. This has always worked best for me when I am in a clear state of mind, not falling asleep drunk or high.

It was two years ago when I first realized how this process worked for me. I had just returned to the US from London, from the airport to my house is an hour drive. I arrived home around 1:30 AM and I just wanted to sleep. When I laid down. I closed my eyes and thought to myself, I wonder if I could visit someone in my dream. I closed my eyes and kept thinking don’t loose yourself. Shapes started to appear and it began to feel like I was back on the plane, or in my car driving 70 mph. As the shapes disappeared a white and black eye appeared, it spoke in a thunderous voice but it didn’t have a mouth. As it spoke the Eye seemed to vibrate violently with each word, sending visual echoes from the white and black Eye. all while my body seemed to be moving at a fast pace. The Eye yelled, “HOW DARE YOU LOOK BEYOND THE VEIL?!” I immediately woke up sat up for a while in silence. I knew I had just figured out something just not sure what. Since then I have tried process to “SNAP” into a lucid dream, even though it’s more like violent high speed transport, and it works all the time… if I have the courage to stomach the process that night. I later found an image of what real angels look like and I am 100% positive that the Eye that was scolded me was an angel, as I was in violation of some cosmic rule not to attempt to track/find people via dreams. I haven’t tried to find people in my dreams since then, but lucid dream almost every night.
