Lucid dreamers also report entering wormholes, spiralling through dots of light, and being spat out in vast, featureless spaces.
I’m in whitish space, endless neutral light. I try flying as fast as I can and it’s so quick it’s impossible to describe – I could go around the circumference of the world in a second at this speed. It strikes me that in experiences like this there can be no doubt that we are more than just a physical body. We are physics itself; gravitational pull and light particles and the energy-force that pulls everything together…
Clare R Johnson, ‘Surfing the Rainbow: Fearlessness and Creativity in the Out of Body Experience’, in Consciousness Beyond the Body (ed. Alexander de Foe).
Lucid dreams often feature portals in the form of windows, plugholes, clouds and mirrors.
If the lucid dreamer decides to enter a portal, this may take her into a new dream scene or into a different space; perhaps one of black light (the void) or zillions of dots.
The transition into this new space may feel a bit like riding a rollercoaster or being sucked in spiralling winds.
What can exploring these spaces teach us about consciousness? In what I have termed ‘Bodiless Lucid Experiences’ (BLE), the lucid dreamer has an experience which goes beyond waking life experiences, yet remains consciously aware throughout. This is a fascinating opportunity to be both more and less than we can be in waking life. More in the sense of going beyond what we are used to: leaving our physical body and the laws of physics behind and expanding our conscious awareness into unfamiliar forms and spaces. And less in the sense of existing in a state of relative sensory deprivation: although we still ‘see’, there is generally no representational imagery such as houses, mountains, or objects, and we have no sense of pain or the physical body. This seems to focus our conscious awareness more tightly, as there are fewer distractions.
Lucid dreamers who have had Bodiless Lucid Experiences often report that these experiences confirm for them that consciousness can exist beyond the body and that life may continue after death. These experiences can be linked to deep psycho-spiritual experiences, as floating in a huge empty space makes it particularly easy to meditate.
A spontaneous experience of the void can provoke a meditative or nondual state, especially if kinesthetic perception is minimal so that we aren’t clutching onto our dream hats and trying to keep our wits about us as we shoot through a twisting vortex, but remain gently suspended in space. After all, there isn’t a lot else to do when we’re bodiless and mainly sense-less besides enter a meditative state, unless we choose to activate dream control or try to return to the imagery of a more usual sort of dream.
– Clare Johnson, ‘Magic, Meditation and the Void: Creative Dimensions of Lucid Dreaming,’ chapter in Lucid Dreaming, New Perspectives of Consciousness in Sleep (eds: Hurd & Bulkeley)
For those more interested in playing with time, lucid dreaming offers excellent opportunities for experimentation. A doctoral study on motor skills in lucid dreaming by Melanie Schädlich at the University of Heidelberg found case studies of athletes who slow time down in the lucid dream so that they can hone a movement, from swim strokes to complicated kickboxing kicks.
Experiences of simultaneous time in the dream state have been reported: people who dreamed two or three dreams simultaneously. Lucid dreamers have experimented with freezing time in a dream and walking through the frozen action, examining 3D dream people, animals and vehicles. One screenwriter used to rewind and replay the action in lucid dreams to help him develop scripts.
How to explore Time, Space and Physics in Lucid Dreams
- Devise a simple experiment to test gravity in a lucid dream. Dr Keith Hearne, who scientifically proved lucid dreaming in 1975, suggests counting how long it takes for an apple to fall from shoulder height to the dream ground
- Try levitating cushions as I once did in a lucid dream. Any object will do!
- Slow or freeze time in your next lucid dream, combining the firm intention with willpower and a clear expectation that this will work
- Look for liminal spaces which may be used as portals: cloudiness, mist, fog. These are spaces of potential which can be walked through with the intention of ending up somewhere else.
- Other portals are windows, mirrors, plugholes, and the like. Experiences such as flying as fast as possible or experiencing sexual bliss can also be portals into new dream spaces.
- Try waking visualisations of entering liminal spaces, and cultivate a feeling of safety as you do so. Relaxing breathing techniques are helpful.
Exploring time, space and physics in lucid dreaming can open up whole new worlds, if not universes.
Had a dream lucid where I was able to Tesseract to destinations when the focus was clear, direct, and strongly using the senses as in smells, sounds, visual, and touch. I would just be in a place and could with these concentrations travel and reappear back where my dream story was left. I would be able to use this ability as in conjunction with the continuing story, but allowed more freedom in existence and gave an understanding that I wasn’t the only one capable of this but figured something out. Before the dream I had no idea what the term Tesseract even meant. I looked it up when I woke and was blown away.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing this.
I have had various lucid dream experiences throughout my life…
I had one last night where I was flying through space in a suit alone at phenomenal speeds trying to reach a new planet to conduct important experiments as to whether it could sustain life, I had a special rucksack with all the necessary equipment inside it. All I could recall of it was hearing my heavy breathing inside my suit and the deftly silence of space because I was finding it stressful and I was fearful of missing my window of opportunity to land on the planet I also fretted I did not have everything in my rucksack so had to check it as I was flying. I kept looking through my visor at the sun in this solar system which was not ours which seemed so far away but shone the brightest, flew past asteroids and moons and managed to get in range to this planet and as I broke through into the atmosphere I could hear the wind churning and howling around my suit, I managed to land safely. Then it was apparent to me I had landed on Earth and I was disappointed with this as I thought I was in another solar system entirely which I was until I landed and seemed to be transported back to Earth. I then did the necessary work with a covert team working with NASA to find this planet I was trying to land on to save us from our imminent extinction… it was like the beginning of the story happened at the end as though time looped right around.
I wonder what it means because I cannot fathom doing such a thing or making such a feat happen in my waking life. The day before I was thinking to myself what is the good in fantasizing a different life yet my dreams are always a portal of escape from my reality and I wonder what good they are doing in giving me hope…
Hi Rachel,
well, my own view is that hope is always a good feeling to have – it can give us the strength and resilience and spark of joy we need to get through all of the situations that life throws at us. So I would say, it’s fine to allow dreams to be a “portal of escape”; maybe this is exactly what is needed right now 😉
Dreams also remind us that we can take action to change our waking lives for the better.
I wish you luck and lucidity,
Clare
I’m realising a lot more spiritual interest am developing nowadays…and that got me to to think of things I could dream back ago that I couldn’t put to sense maybe because I was young and perhaps maybe I wasn’t opening up to that spiritual side ….i used to have one similar dream almost each day when I was the age of twelve or thirteen and that dream would last the whole night…in that dream I was floating or pulling downward but surprising that I would not touch down untill I wakeup….i would be in space full of stars and the moon…then I would wake up…
That sounds so beautiful!
My dream I’m flying through space to the end of the universe it takes me seconds and I start getting to the biggest brightness light it’s like one big diamond that surrounds me I feel at piece the best I’ve ever felt I want to go through the light to see what’s at the other end but then something pulls me back like a feeling that I dare not go through a feeling like I might never be able to come back through it, as if it’s the light we see befor we die I want to go through so much but I want to live more I cant stop thinking about that light and the amazing feeling I felt.
Sounds wonderful Carrie, it’s safe to enter this light during a lucid dream and can be a profound and beautiful experience, so it’s good to release fear around it – you will wake up safely in your bed after the experience 🙂 It’s what I call the Lucid Light, there’s a lot about it in Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Lucid Dreaming.
Enjoy,
Clare
I had a dream last night, a possibility of schools in a distant future. During school breaks, students could meet each other in the main hall. All they had to do is open their bedroom’s door and step in. When online classes started, however, the portal would be off, every student waking up in their houses’ hallway.
I’m African and I’m having these experience but it started slowly but now it’s getting worse. ..I’m scared .. yesterday I saw my body sleeping while I was floating away I thought I was dying
Hi Lisa,
thanks for reaching out, this is nothing to be scared of, it sounds like an out of body experience, which is a gift to be enjoyed. You are not dying when this happens during sleep, only exploring. We all “leave our body” every night, when we sleep and dream. The only difference is that you had a high enough level of consciousness to notice what was happening.
Please read more about this, I have blog posts on this website about OBE and how to release fear.
Wishing you peaceful nocturnal adventures,
Clare
Your vortex warm hole spiral that you mentioned is the exact experience I had last year. I was in a horror dream And my dad was with me and all of a sudden he said to let go there was a vortex spinning with all kinds of algebra equations. It was white tunnel I traveled about 11 minutes through it and it’s shot me out to space that speeds with millions of dots which eventually slow down after I shot out of the space. I was out there with no physical body and beautiful universe. I was floating for a while and decided to kind of swim back to the wormhole which took me about 11 minutes to travel back and landed me in my dream that I originally was in. Never had this happen to me before but I am a lucid dream state and I told myself that I had to get up. When I finally woke up I had a peaceful this. Just wanted to share the story
Wow, what an amazing experience! Thanks for sharing this.
LORD wants to dream indefinately with every detail of creation. That’s why, there was a rebellion.
I had a Dream I was on earth an there was a massive earthquake an people in a panic the moment they began to panic I ended up in the Universe in a blink of a eye standing still watching the earth lose its rotation an speed . The earth particles an debris pulling off the earth as it loses all gravity slowly falling from the universe. I was scared as I watched the motions of the earth jus falling an than I woke up. An I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THIS COULD MEAN THAN AGAIN MAYBE NOT LOL.
I just had one that as kid would happen a lot. I go into deep sleep. I end up in a place where I would enter portal, it would take me somewhere. everything was mixed with timelines from medieval times to more modern times. there were different groups, species. when time to go id have to get to Portal before they stopped me, but when I would leave the dream fully there was structure of like a kids play ground with two towers. the first tower had stairs to go up too. the second tower you’d have to go across rope bridge and slide down slide. before other groups got to you and stopped you. while you attempt to cross. a member of your group would fight another member of a different group
Thank you for taking the time for writing this, Dr. Johnson. As someone who has been practicing lucid dreaming consciously for 7 years now, as well as being a physics major, I am inspired by the reaffirmation that EBL’s, portals, gravity alteration and the like can be attained by various individuals.
It is a dream of mine to discover the principles governing dreams and the unconscious and lay them out in rigorous, mathematical terms. I believe that doing so will open many doors to humanity that have been closed by materialism and the advent of internet hyperconnectivity.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks Sebastian. Exploring physics in lucid dreams is such an eye-opener because effectively physics in the dream space only exists if we believe and expect that it exists. People who find it hard to fly in lucid dreams and find themselves dragging along the ground are literally weighed down with their own belief system! Dream lucidity gives us the chance to work at dropping all our preconceived ideas about the nature of reality. This can feel immensely freeing.
I don’t know if you have my new book, Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Lucid Dreaming, but there’s a chapter in there that might interest you: “Understanding your dream body and lucid dream physics”.
Also, maybe you have heard the physicist, Don Middendorf, talking about lucid dream physics? His talk (with other presenters also speaking on that topic) was recorded at a conference for the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD), an international dream community with many dream researchers. http://www.asdreams.org Another person who writes in depth about lucid dream portals is Linda Mastrangelo.
Your goal sounds excellent and I hope you attain it! Do keep me informed of your progress.
Lucid wishes,
Clare
Since I began having my dreams at 18 ( now I’m 52) Over the years I have become more comfortable with them as my confidence has increased. I will always remember my first experience. I didn’t know if I could return and i was frightened. I told in detail my family about what I experienced. I went to a nearby college library and began to research and find out what I could about my experience.
Many yesrs have passed and time to time I still dream or have out of body experiences. Each
Is unique and I’ve learned to appreciate them and think of them as a gift.
Best Wishes,
Tyler
Hi Tyler,
thanks for sharing your experience. I understand what you mean about the first times being scary, and it’s really good to hear that you now see your lucid dreams and OBEs as a gift. I think that, too. We can learn so much about the nature of reality and ourselves from these experiences.
I wish you many more amazing dreams,
Clare
Two days ago I had this dream where I was speaking in an open space, a group of people told us “you should not be afraid we are preparing”, then I was looking at the sky and a cloud turned into a figure of a woman then I went through it and began spiraling in a wormhole, or I truly don’t know what it was, I saw a lot of colors but then I went through a part where it was all black and I entered a black space where I felt so different, I was lighter and stronger, I could feel a different strength. I was afraid, I didn’t know what was happening to me and it felt so real, and like I had been in this dream for hours?… I was exploring this dark space when I found a door that led me to a place with a lot of rooms; I entered one of these rooms and I saw a woman but she was not someone I knew, she didn’t even look like someone from my country (I’m from Venezuela). I tried asking her where I was or what was happening there but she wouldn’t answer and then a lot of people started entering this room and they all looked so different, I was anxious yet happy? I don’t know how to express what I felt, then I left this room and entered another one where there were a lot of people sitting looking into a mirror. I was starting to figure the place out when I woke up because someone was screaming loudly in the middle of the street. I had never felt something like this, never had a dream so lucid… I was afraid but now I’m reading this and I felt like this was an accurate description of what I lived. How can I explore this further? Where can I read more about this?
Thank you for sharing!!!
Hi Andrea,
thanks for sharing your experience, that sounds amazing. It is great when we feel a different strength in dreams, as you report. This strength can be brought into our waking life to create positive change.
If you want to go deeper into lucid dreaming, you could get my Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Lucid Dreaming, which is huge and thorough and it explores the type of experience you describe, the black void, wormholes and mysterious dream figures. I’d love to hear from you if you want to share more experiences in the future.
I wish you luck and lucidity!
Clare
I just had one very similar. It’s 4am and I’m trying to find out similar experiences, my friend asked me if I wanted to see what it was really like to dream and talked me into entering the “emporium” and once I climbed up to it and got it I starting shooting into some like a mix between a tornado and a roller coaster, there where hundreds of people and i got close to ask someone what was happening and she just looked at me was smiling, almost looked like an avatar then I just ended up in a dark void almost waiting for a queue to somewhere further where I decided I wanted to wake up and try again tommorow to see what’s next
I just had my first one yesterday I opened my eyes then saw my room but it was veiled with sparkly/twinkling lights and various portals or doorways. one portal was above where my tv should have been on the wall. I called out and waved there was a shadow or an arm to my side in the background though I could not move my head i could see it waving as i said hello.I wanted more from this lucid dream I hope I have another one it gives me faith in God.
Wonderful, Tom, thanks for sharing your first lucid dream. May you have many more!
Clare
I can’t count how many lucid dreams I have had since I can remember they seem so real and I remember details like smells or where I am who is with me in each dream and I will also talk during some of my dreams if it’s at a part of some importance and I sometimes wake up and feel as though I am suffocating or lacking air.tje other night I know I was not on earth I was somewhere Unknown that I had not been before I felt as though I was not grounded in earth then I remember waking up and speaking to my husband saying it’s really important somebody is sending me a message I have to get this message out.inwill also see full bodies of water and floods have also been very prominent I manage to save my family but the angst while in these dreams is very real.i have also had an amazing dream it was my favourite I was flying around or floating felt like I was flying in space it felt slow and I could see everything around me I saw the sun and had to fly further away which was then darker but it felt very calming yet lonely but also it felt like a very familiar place then I woke up really happy like I was actually in space these are just a few I have had in the last month’s but as a child teen I would dream inwas in a plane and wings would come off I’d try change the dream while I was in the dream because I knew every person on that plane wasn’t going to survive sometimes I can have more then one dream in a nights sleep and sometimes the dreams are so happy and real I wake up and wish I could have kept that dream going.its weird but I don’t always hahe the lucid dreams sometimes I will wake up a bit dazed with no memory of having a dream but then some weird thing I see or hear of makes me think hang on my dream recently I can’t remember those dreams as good but when I wake up and gasp for a breath or talk or have a chatty conversation thays when I can remember and it’s bat crazy
Hi I had a dream last night I can’t stop thinking about it because I literally felt like I was the wind.
I can’t remember who it was but they pushed me off thr edge of something and said you will love this or hate it it was intense I felt like I was this strong wind and I was petrified and tried tp tell myself to go with it because the i remembered the women said you will love or hate it but it was too much and I woke up
Thanks for sharing your wind dream, that does sound intense.
Sometimes after a dream like that it’s good to mentally re-enter it in your imagination and release all fear, just go with it and see what happens when you are fearless. It can be revealing and offer unexpected insights, as well as being healing.
Lucid wishes,
Clare
Hello, your shared thoughts are quite interesting. I have practiced lucid dreaming from an early age. I remember alays being able to enter the dreams I wanted and the ability to control them. By the time I was a teenager I found that I could continue dreams from the day before. In dreams in which I fall I am able to take myself out of the fall and glide under control. I am now in my mid 50’s and often like to allow myself to start a dream by entering a vortex which sheets of dull stars in an infinite number encompass me as if they are being observed from within a wave. Dreams within dreams in which I realize I am dreaming occur. Sometimes I find myself analysizing the actions moments after they happen. I also dream freely without controls but often find myself knowing it is a dream and examining alternatives. I find myself often traversing within my dream journeys in search of dialogue that is not only myself with others, but sometimes as if I am a camera only capturing the environment I explore as if I am not a physical being.
Thanks Zeev, your experiences sound fascinating. The wave vortex sounds delightful, I must try it 🙂
I wish you many further awesome lucid experiences!
Clare
That’s fascinating you’re the only person I’ve ever found or discovered that use the word vortex the way I use it. I have no training in any way shape or form this is always the word I used for it. I too would fall but was able to control it and glide not fly necessarily but Glide or just regular sleeping beautiful I found this fascinating and you’re the only person who’s ever expressed what I have experienced since I was a young little girl. I am now 56
That’s wonderful, thanks for sharing your lifelong experiences with vortexes Zeev!
I had a dream that a black and white fuzzy dotted portal opened up and I was being sucked through it head first but as that happened I screamed and my scream was all high pitched the more I stretched into this portal, it was the one thing that stopped me from being in control of my lucid dreaming and I couldn’t wake up. But before I got sucked all the way in my partner woke me up asking if I was okay and said I was making a very odd sound and stopped breathing. I feel like I may mistake dream state for reality and can die in my sleep. I always escape death in dreams but lately the only way I escape is when my partner wakes me up. I dream of being kidnapped and I jump away but I get sucked back to who ever I’m jumping away from. I’m worried about these dreams can anyone explain the meaning of them to me ? Much appreciated if anyone can help as its impacting my waking life and mental state.
Hi Samuel,
thanks for sharing your experiences.
You are very, very unlikely to die in your sleep unless you have serious medical problems such as a heart condition. It is common to make weird noises while experiencing a nightmare, and even the sense of not breathing – but this to me indicates that there is work that you might like to do on the level of understanding your dreams and why these kidnapping nightmares keep occurring. Have you tried doing dreamwork to unwrap the meaning of these dreams?
In my book Dream Therapy (Mindful Dreaming in the US version) I give all sorts of techniques for working with disturbing dreams for health, healing and peaceful sleep. Once we again insight into our nightmares and the underlying message they carry, we can gain creative and healing gifts from them. Dreams show us a path to mental health and wholeness – even nightmares come to help and heal us.
Good luck creating a happier dreamlife and please also try some waking methods for relaxation – deep, calm breathing, and use this whenever fearful in the dream state. Also try creating a protective egg of white light around yourself, this is very powerful in the dream state. When we rehearse such actions while awake, we empower ourselves to be calm and free in our dreams.
Clare
Hello,This certainly sounds similar to the expert I had last night. I was floating in a blue sky, I woke up to confirm it was real within my dream. There was a force of energy beneath my back that elevated me higher..I then asked to go back down, but not through darkness (as if I knew there was a black space) instead I rapidly went down a grey fuzzy tunnel and reached the bottom of ocean, where there was dolphins and colour. This was an intense experience as also had the element of being aware as if awake and a physical force, that would be hard to just imagine. Thanks for reading.
That sounds amazing Donna, thanks for sharing.
yes, we often feel this force lifting and propelling us in lucid dreams.
Enjoy your future explorations!
Lucid wishes,
Clare
Hi, as a result of a very recent experience I find myself here searching for answers. I wasn’t asleep so I couldn’t have been a dream. Eyes closed, laying on my back, I experienced a purple cloud or thin smoke ahead. Suddenly I passed very swiftly through the haze gaining speed all the time. Ahead a saw a slither of light like a filament. It grew as I neared till it was level with me to my right at which point I suddenly swerved to orbit this object a single time and slingshot away so fast I felt butterflies.
Hi Wayne, great description of your experience, thanks for that. There are many deeper layers of dreaming and it sounds like you experienced one of them. Being flung around in space/speeding up/flying etc are normal aspects of these deep dreams, as are expressions of light or luminous colours. Personally, I love these experiences as they are so fascinating and different from waking life. I hope you are able to relax and enjoy the ride if it happens again, keeping an open and curious mind and knowing you’ll wake up safely in bed after the experience. In Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Lucid Dreaming there are chapters on the lucid void and other deep lucid dream experiences, with examples of the kinds of things we encounter in those states.
Lucid wishes,
Clare
For the past six months I have been experiencing the same dream/time travel/astral projection what you want to call it! I have always had dreams since a child where I feel like I’m floating through the room. Like I’m awake and everything is exactly where it should be but I know I’m sleeping. But lately it’s been on a whole different level. I know When I’m dreaming and Ill hear this weird “hmmmm” sound and my head gets really cloudy , loud and actually almost hurts . But I’m flying insanely fast through a million dots. This last time I had it I actually saw a planet so I kept going deeper and insanely fast. I then saw a light blue box that was outlined and flew through that then spiraled like crazy!! I know I’m asleep but I could feel all of it. Seems like I’m flying downward and then suddenly see palm trees and it’s raining. I then am sitting in a car next to a man that I’ve never seen before. Very attractive man? then we get out of the car like we stopped at a hotel or something. Then unfortunately that what is it for that one. Sometimes I’ll see outline of bodies when I’m flying through the dots(stars?) they are glowing like neon colors , almost like the ending of the movie Ghost. But I have the space dreams at least 3-4 times a week. At first pretty scary but now I get excited and try to see how far I can go! Such a beautiful experience!
Hi Paige,
thanks for sharing these beautiful experiences! It’s great that you overcame your fear and now find it exciting – because it really is something so special to navigate these lucid spaces and discover their infinite potential. The humming sound is often heard when we have an out-of-body experience, and the million dots space is a common dream space like the void, many people have been there, there is so much light when you look, and infinite colours.
I wish you luck and much enjoyment as you continue to explore these lucid realms!
Clare
This gives me chills, I had a dream last week where I was floating in the sky, then fiercely brought to a wormhole. Everything was so bright and orange and red. I was screaming and was scared to go in. When I was zapped through, I was in a black void, until I saw this huge bright BLUE cube. With either dots or stars in the outlines. I said, “Oh, that’s what that looks like”..then my husband woke me up from me screaming before. I was so confused on why a cube, like what does that mean. But I figured it out, it’s a tesseract! To us, it’s a 3-d shape. We are 3D. To us, 4 dimensional figures will look 3 dimensional. And tesseracts are supposedly gateways for time or tunnels for other dimensions. I just think it’s crazy that we both saw something very distinct, a blue cube.
I’m also a lucid dreamer sometime I see different people while flying I have seen my mother many times when I call out her name then start having conversation with her.
As I fly high into the sky there are clouds I always poke my head into the clouds and see this quiet space like scenery with crystal mountains haven’t have the courage to enter full body and fly around this area has anyone enter this realm.
Hi Dr.Johnson,
I do not know what made me to discuss about G-Force 2 and G-Force 8 in my yesterday’s dream. Some times in mid-air I would be discussing this with some unknown person and some time deep down in the ocean. While I am in the mid-air I would be scarily looking at the pitch dark sky with trillions of stars scattered randomly across and at the same time I had a strong feeling to return to the Earth as soon as possible. However, the dream ended with a conclusion that one can experience G-Force 2 and G-Force 8 at the bottom of the ocean shared by some unknown experts. I had never read any books of this nature or watched any sci-fi movie in the past.That is why it made me to wonder about this dream.
Regards,
Pradeep
Fascinating dream, Pradeep!
I had a dream l flying through different bright colors that was going so fast l start to slow down l was floating in mid air the sky was so beautiful different colors and there was buildings then l was pull back so fast l woke up and write in my dream jounral
Beautiful 🙂
Just woke up with a heavy mind, as if I was using all my energy to focus never had a dream like this.
Suddenly I woke up in the back yard of my ex girlfriend (my mind just believed it was hers) as I’m telling my self what the hell am I doing here I’m questioning my self because I know my physical body at is home im telling my self that I jumped into another universe, I approach a white back door with a broken screen.. the door was open and I yelled for Chanelle, I just wanted help I was confused on what was happening, I heard some noise as if she was there and suddenly she came up and said what am I doing here, I tried to explain to her that I think I jumped into another realm And would leave as soon as possible suddenly she left because I believe her father was calling her
I laid down in a couch that was back there in the yard and I felt this presence (energy felt closer to my body) open the door it was her father he was looking around to see what she was doing back there he some how came across my pants and started going through them I believed he grabbed money I saw a pair of keys he came across
Then he hovered over me as I payed quietly on the couch and that’s when I felt a heavy presence over my physical body While my mind was still an another universe
Then a small baby girl in a white lite dress was handed to me and she was beautiful light skinned baby
As soon I got her I carried her I tried to cover her but was told not to
I some how got into a car and drove away by myself and then I snapped out out of it …. 4:27 am
I have recurring dreams where I can run and then hover indefinitely above the ground covering great distance. I’ve also had less frequent dreams of flying. The flying dreams are heaven! I can control how fast I soar upward towards clouds, and come closer to earth. The scenery is always beautiful. One of these dreams I was on a bridge and close to some harm, I knew I had to jump and to have faith I could fly. I did “jump” and ended up in yet another beautiful flying voyage. If this is what death is like, sign me up!
Yes! Flying dreams are heaven, I agree 🙂
I appreciate your comment and I’m happy you have such beautiful and joyful dreams.
Clare
I often dream that I am flying high above the earth
Sometimes I stand on a high mountain telling people to try to fly, I tell them , look it’s nothing to it, so I jump up as to get a lift and then up I go , do a circle and get right back
Sometimes I grab a person’s hand and tell them to just relax, then off we go
Other times I go to high up and the jet stream takes me off corse , and I loose sight off land
Other times I move through solid walls or solid glass, effortless without breaking glass or walls
I move in and out, without the blinds or curtains being disturb
This reads like lucid poetry 🙂 Great experiences!
early this morning while i was lucid dreaming i was able to enter what i can call a spirit portal through a door and window that wasn’t originally available on the physical layout of the place i am in entering the portal brought me to a different greenery place where i was able to meet entities that travel the opened portal through a given time. after this was a false awakening did happen.
I have a lucid dream today in which I was floating in 5 dimensional space and I was unable to feel gravity. It looks like we created time travel and I was able to both past and future of my life at the same time.
Sounds like an awesome lucid dream, thanks for sharing.
So the beginning of the article exactly describes what happens to me…I wil be floating higher and higher beyond the clouds, into space, so fast and so far that I will suddenly”pop” into a white nothingness. With no sensation other than a loud zinging noise. Im not flying at the speed of light anymore just floating and when I wake up am certain there is life beyond this world.
Beautiful!
I just woke up from my first lucid dream experience. I was with my dad, who has long passed and I told him he was funny and I wanted him to know that’s coming from a 30 year old man now. Then I said it out loud, “I’m having a really good dream right now.. wait… I’m dreaming!” Then I saw the sky, the clouds were moving very quickly and changing from these dark purple to dark pink colors, but then my dad’s demeanor changed. His voice was no longer his own, but that of many, and he said, “ Oh you’re dreaming are you? Then cocked his head back and had this strange shifting laugh, then grabbed me and pulled me to the grass and payed on his side like a bitty school girl and asked if I was having a good time. I said “ quick tell me something about yourself you’ve never told me before and his reply was to grab me by my face and told me to “wake up” so freaky
Congratulations on your first lucid dream, Troy
I just woke up from my dream. Amd it had me thinking about life.
One second I was being chased and all of a sudden I am surrounded by a black space floating and zillions of stars or bright dots all over and there was a force pulling me through a hole. Which lead me to another world of the person who was chasing me before, never knew who I was. Which I felt I entered another dimension.
However, I woke up feeling something important is going to happen.
What a fascinating experience, Cheryl; these are deep dreams and so interesting to explore.
Thanks for the article! I’ve been searching all day for meaning/descriptions of dreams similar to the one I had last night.
I had a very long dream last night which culminated in these very tall, futuristic people putting a device on me. I then felt as if I was in a chair and being pushed upward toward the sky at an incredible speed, too fast to quantify (maybe thousands of mph or maybe faster. My body was shaking so much because of the speed, and I was so frightened that I kept my eyes closed in the dream. I finally convinced myself to open them up, and I was in outerspace. It was dark but incredibly beautiful. In space, I received a personal message written in clouds (though I was moving too fast to read the whole message). Finally, I was transported inside something that looked similar to a tanning bed w/ lights on the top part of it. My ears started popping so much as if the bed/lights were recalibrating me to a lower altitude (have never felt anything like this much popping before). Then, I woke up. My body felt this energy all throughout it, and my heart felt like I was just on a rollercoaster.
I’ve had lucid dreams before, but this wasn’t lucid just incredibly vivd. Still trying to understand the dream, and how it’s even possible. It felt very, very real. More real than any dream I have had in the past (including lucid ones). Regardless, it was a beautiful experience. Like nothing I have ever felt before.
I woke up and simply said, “Wow”
I’ve had this dream twice now, it’s only now that I’ve paid close attention to it.
Space and time travel was obtainable and your own body was it’s vessel.
Simply by theoretically peeling back the outer layer of yourself opened a door like a zip into your own mind.
Inside anyone had access if you allowed them entry to your mind, memories were projected onto a touch screen where you could enter them and replay them.
Everyone who entered their own doorway had the ability to project themselves onto a connective tunnel that at the touch of hand anyone could enter their moments and join them. Like a mind cam. An alternate reaity where anything is possible.
No laws, no punishment, no shock and awe.
The freedom to be whoever you wanted to be and to leave knowing that when you zip it back up that reality never shifted. Time stood still.
Once exiting this doorway, reality was making such leaps to propel themselves into the future.
Waste matter and anything considered to be litter would simply rise and float into space. Unfortunately the reality of this was the fact we were littering our future home.
I really enjoyed this experience. I entered other people’s doorways, important people. Eddie Murphy, Terry Cruise. Jeff Daniels was guiding me through this experience and opening my eyes to the future. It was so surreal.
I had so many lucid dreams before … never felt like this and I wanted to share because I felt I was lifted into air this time for real.
Before I used to go places just by thinking , Fly in air, a long jumps like hulk, talking with people who are dead in real life I heard they are saying they are okay and nothing to be worried about.
Today I had 3dreams
In one I am being chased by some police because I know one place in US where we can fly. Then I escaped in to space once I reached that place. I was lying on and whole body is being air lifted.
I have seen that I was traveling in space watching full black sky n white dots
From know where I saw some green lights( same like northern lights) in middle of that I saw some people are talking it’s like movie screen.
Suddenly I feel like going down n my eyes where opening but I controlled not to open them.
It felt like I reached a state in which I found absolute peace
Second dream: I saw my god Ram shining as bright as a Star going into Hanuman(God) temple and started praying him
By leaving his foot ware outside. Suddenly a bright gold shine shining like our SUN came near that foot ware took out a thrishul(a rod which has three spikes on the top) and kept near that RAM Footware and lost his Shine
Now hanuman started praying RAM with those Footware.
I kept falling asleep and these dark blue lights kept trying to pull me through this darkness I was terrified and somehow snapped myself out of it but I felt this need to get my stun gun and put it on the table next to me. Then again I felt And saw this dark blue light and the darkness swallowing me but I must have fallen asleep and my dog who sleeps under my bed rarely woke me up barking at the wall I have my head at. I woke up and today I feel depressed and lonely for my mom I loss 2 years ago who lived with me. I also thought how much I hate my ex husband who left me and our handicapped son 20 years ago and has nothing to do with him at all. Am I just manifesting loneliness or anger. Why was my dog barking like that. He rarely barks at night anyhow. And just sometimes sleeps under my bed. Thank you
Hi Jacqueline, dogs pick up on our emotional state and it sounds as if you were frightened and uneasy. Light in dreams is usually an invitation to explore consciousness and can lead to wonderful blissful states if we release fear and cultivate curiosity. Working with your dreams may also help you to release the heavy emotions of anger and loneliness you carry within. I wish you good luck. If you’d like a book on how to work with dreams, release fear, and heal from the past, Dream Therapy (US title is Mindful Dreaming) goes into all this with easy exercises and tips. I wish you the best.
So . When i was kid i used to get this dream often. In my dream everything i saw was in either grey black or white. I could not phantom what it really was but i could feel myself moving through indescribable things in a great speed. The matter would change and would keep on changing taking different form and i would dive through them. I could not describe what it was but i really wanna dream it again. Im 23 years old and yet i have not get to experience it . If anyone who had similar kind of dream please do share with me. Thankyou
I’ve had this since I was very young, whenever I close my eyes and look up my mind starts showing me hazy lights that become as bright as the stars and sun.. then this weird thing happens and it’s like I’m travelling through a Star Trek warp tunnel, but I have this ladies voice in my head and I just ask her to show me or to take me to wherever I want to go. Then I’m flying and it’s so hard to understand as I’m not in any form of body, I’m just everywhere and I can feel absolutely everything and see everything from every angle. It usually gets to overwhelming and disconnects me and I come hurtling back into my body, which my partner now realises why I jump when I wake up every day. It also just happens on demand, so like now I just closed my eyes and then it automatically did it and started talking to me about connecting to a psychic network, then started showing me faces and situations of people. I see grounding objects like the eye of Horus and an Ankh which are always sat on my left and right shoulders before it hurtles me upwards.
It’s got really strong since I had a trauma and suffered from PTSD, if anything it’s helped me understand and got me through the pain. Shown me things I didn’t even know I could have possibly seen or could even had made up. I’m a man of logic and science and even through I’ve had this since I was a kid, this is the first time I’ve ever had to type it into Google to see if I’m not the only one thinking their going mad.
I can’t put my real name due to the trauma. But I hope that helps someone else.
Hi there,
I have had a variety of dreams since childhood. I constantly query the correlation between heightened anxiety and the event of lucid dreaming. For example, about a year ago I hadn’t slept for almost 36hrs due to anxiety. I remember thinking that I didn’t want to be here anymore and just like that my body crashed and I fell into a deep sleep. As that happened I watched myself sleeping as I started to float away from my body. I had an out of body experience. And it was amazing. I ventured into alternative realities where I was able to touch, smell and taste things. I encountered an alternate self and explored the differences and similarities to both our worlds. I went through 6 days and nights in that one dream before I finally returned to a waking state.. When I woke up, it was as if I didn’t get much sleep at all. I was till very much exhausted and wanted to sleep more, but I was in so much awe over what had just transpired. And I was able to recall almost every single detail. This is only one of my many lucid dreams, but it is also the longest one I have had in terms of time spent in the dream state.
I am nearly everyday in a lucid dream and today it was stranger . A little boy begun with hello en then we talked en he said the universum is fake. Then i was Scared and i wake up . And he spoke english but i am Dutch very weird
I used to go into lucidity voluntarily which I still don’t understand how and when I am in the subjective space I used to be surrounded by dark space after I exceed the clouds. Now by reading this I came to a conclusion that I might have been inside the void. Thanks to you and the information you have provided . It’s too enlightening.
So I had the craziest experience last night that I cant even begin to understand. I fell asleep on my couch flat on my back. I wasnt really dreaming of anything. It was just black like endless black void. And all of a sudden I felt like I was flying backwards and I was being pushed at a high speed back into my body. Like I couldnt see anything but I knew I was going to reach my body. It felt like unreal speed and force and when it stopped it was like I was slammed back into my body. i actually woke up and jolted into sitting straight up. It sounds insane but it felt so real.
Great article and comments, very interesting. I do love the flying ones, it’s been a while for me. In one I was learning and crash landed a few times but soon managed it over water. Incentive!
One I always recall though was while I was In Italy and unlike any other. I was there, more than lucid, reality. I was on a huge polished metal slide, beautiful sky, and only the second time I’ve seen myself (the other one was in an old Victorian station a century back!) and a very calm voice said “Not your Time yet”, that old chestnut. Stayed with me.
Thanks for the writings!

Cool dreams!
I have this recurring dream where I am falling from great heights. Sometimes I first float up up up high, into space almost, and I get an arial view of everything, it’s incredible! And then I fall down! I know I’m falling so it’s not scary it’s exhilarating! (Sometimes it is scary when I’m falling into an ocean). Last night I dreamt I fell from a spaceship in space (the greatest height I’ve fallen from yet). I could see earth approaching larger and larger, then I halted halfway down, suspended in space. Is this falling a type of lucid dream? What does it mean?
Falling dreams are common and when we experience them without fear, they can be sublime. If you are aware that you are dreaming while you are falling, this means it was a lucid dream.
I am standing on a raised platform of a hotel, protected from the heavy downpour in broad daylight. The open space around me has no trees, but a vast landscape filled with fertile soil and patches of greenery scattered across. The dense rain gives the impression of a white screen with tiny pixels. Suddenly, something miraculous happens before my eyes. Generations from the past, living in different timelines, emerge one after the other from the Earth. Like a 3D movie, they come towards me at split-second speed and pass through me. I do not feel them. I still cannot believe the wonderful simulation that happened in my dream.
What an amazing, transcendent dream!
I have had one OBE where I was floating above my body and could see myself in real time, when I realized what I was seeing there was a swoosh sound and I was back in my body. This OBE happened 32 years ago. Last night I was dreaming and was woken up unexpectedly by my husband, I opened my eyes and could hear my husband in the bathroom but I saw a futuristic ceiling with a fan shaped object on ceiling, it was all white and made from “space plastic” material, I closed my eyes still seeing the futuristic ceiling and I heard an electricial buzzing sound as the images went in and out–like the transmission was being interrupted. Then image was gone. Just want to say I don’t suffer from any mental malady but I have had many lucid dreams and am able to change their trajectory, I am able to see myself in the dreams, my hands. Sometimes i wonder if i was really some place else!
