As we were pruning the forums, I found a bunch of dreams I had posted, so I decided to consolidate them into a dream diary, roughly.
This may not strictly be a lucid dream, but it might have been: I was 12 when I had it; it was so awesome that it's haunted me to this day. Here it is:
I went through a portal, was helped by beings of light. I think they were female. I am escorted through a walled garden that was beautiful and the colors of the flowers were very vivid. The only anomaly was that there was no sound whatsoever. Otherwise everything seemed very realistic. I briefly wondered where the birds were. This garden had three pools of water in it. Each pool was of a different color. One was blue, one red, and the other green. All three were beautiful- like glistening jewels. I was given the choice of which one I wanted to go into. I chose the red pool. I was helped in under, and I was surprised to discover I could breathe under water. I could see all around me, in the color of the water. It was as if in the water I could perceive all that was around me, over and under me. I could perceive everything, through vibrations. I could perceive the entire universe as vibration, and it was like "hearing" vibrations but instead of my ears, my entire body was receiving all the forms and vibrations of the universe without (hearing) sound. I was actually perceiving the entire universe as a vibration, and it was the most joyous experience, complete and total ecstasy, while it lasted. When it was over, I had to go back to the portal back to my room- then I woke up. Reality was such a letdown after the feelings in this dream realm. For weeks and weeks after I tried to go back into the dream, but have never been able to.
Now for a comment on my part: As a child and young adult I projected fairly regularly- I had OBE's, flying dreams, and a special type of OBE where I would go to specific parts of my bedroom, and if I did it right I ended up in "really beautiful places" that were completely surreal. At the time I didn't know what Astral Planes were, but I think that's what they were. On these "special" OBE's, I was "helped" by beings, escorted if you will to these places. Some places were "in the sky", some "under the ground" and fantastic. This particular experience I remember as a dream, not an OBE, although that prob. doesn't mean much.
In subsequent years, after growing up, I've had dreams of trying to find these portals (2 of them were not in my room) and finding them closed.
My adult OBE's have been kind of boring- flying around my house, other things like that, and some frightening experiences. That dream at 12 marked the end of my positive astral travels (that I remember, anyways.)
Interpretations are more than welcome- Anyone?
