THE MAX LIFE: 024
SUNDAY, JULY 28TH 2019
This week has been my most inconsistent week since I have started this blog. It has also just been a weird week in general. I have been off. Tuesday morning I woke up not feeling the best. I started getting this cold that eventually evolved into a cough. My energy level wasn’t normal and I was sleeping 10–12 hours a night. This was irritating to me but there was one positive in all that sleeping. My lucid dreams were super active. I have been having lucid dreams for a while. Now days they are constant. I have had some become reality too. I figured today would be a good time to talk about them.
You may be wondering, what is a lucid dream? Normally when someone has a dream they don’t know it was a dream until they wake up. A lucid dream is a dream where the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming. This typically happens in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. During lucid dreams the dreamer can control them. They can influence their actions or parts of the dreams itself. Everyone is different. My lucid dreams seem very real and when I am in one I have the awareness that it isn’t my reality. I try to play along in whatever scenario that I dream. I do have the power to guide them as well. There have been times recently where I had deja vu. Sometimes the dreams are kind of strange. There can be people in them I feel like I have never seen before or there will be people I haven’t seen in years. In the past I have also had one dream become reality. That dream came into reality about 10 months after I dreamed it. After that I started becoming interested in lucid dreams and learning more about them.
“A lucid dream is a dream where the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming.”
I had many lucid dreams last night. I make the mistake of not writing them down in a journal. I can forget the details pretty fast. There are some that do stick with me. The one that stuck with me from last night has been on my mind all day. I don’t know where I was. There were three other random people with me and we were on top of a cliff. One of the people jumped off the cliff into the water below. I was right behind him and apparently It was my turn to jump. I’m sitting on the edge looking down into the water. Immediately I am scared shittless. I start to stall by asking 20 questions. How high are we? Am I supposed to keep my feet flat when I land? Is this safe? The two people remaining answered a few of them. They were also very encouraging trying to get me to jump. (I was aware I was in this dream but like I said, I like to play in the role where ever I am. It allows me to be out of control, surrendering to the situation. I am also observing what is happening, looking for messages.) I stand up on the edge of the cliff still looking down. One of the people with me was this blonde girl. She was to my right down a ways from where I was on a different cliff. Her voice got my attention. The girl kept telling me I had to get over the fear and jump. The way she was talking to me was very comforting. After a while of being a little bitch, I take a deep breath in, release it, take a step and leap off. I am free falling. It was a rush of dopamine like you would expect. After what felt like 10 minutes of falling, my feet hit the water and then I go under. All I remember after that is pitch black.
I feel like there was a message from this dream. Clearly the message is about fear. I am guessing there is a fear I need to overcome. Honestly, I am not sure what that fear is yet. There are probably more than one in particular. I think the message could also be a sign of transformation in general. There are a lot of things in the works for me right now I feel. I do not know what is going to happen. Even though there is some uncertainty right now and things have been a little strange, I am still trusting the universe. I am also grateful for the struggles and everything that has happened up to this point in my journey. The path I am on is one that I am supposed to be on. I just have to stay the course and see what happens.
