I think I just lucid dreamed for the first time
I’ve been a long time lurker on this subreddit, I always wanted to try lucid dreaming but never really put as much effort into it as others claim you have to. It was just one of those things that before I’d go to bed I’d be like “I will lucid dream” like ten times or whatever.
Anyways, I just woke up from a nap. I remember telling myself I finally did it. I was blinking and flipping through settings like it was nobody’s business. I felt like a fucking pro. I was having a good time until I blinked and I was in a school. I was like okay cool I can just hangout here a sec I don’t really know why it’s not letting me blink again but whatever. I’m just hanging out kinda wandering around this school when I turn a hallway and see a door. The door looks straight out of a fucking sci fi movie, with glowing red light beaming out from under it. I start to make my way towards the door, and I’m like wait. Have I read on Reddit or somewhere to not go through a door when lucid dreaming? Or did I imagine that?
Ultimately, I turned around because I didn’t want to risk it. I started walking back towards a library, when I heard footprints behind me. I turned around, and saw a black dog. Rottweiler type, but all black. I for whatever reason understood it wanted me to follow it, so I turned around and began to. At this point I had semi woken up? I was thinking I needed to check Reddit to see if I can go through doors and I remember thinking about how hot I felt but wanted to keep dreaming so I stayed put. Didn’t even open my eyes. I was still walking with the dog, and we turned down the same hallway with the door again. I was thinking that this is ridiculous so I went up to the door again, and put my hand on the handle. It was such an intense feeling in my gut that was telling me to not open the damn door. I think it may have freaked me out a bit. So, again, I decided to turn and walk away. The dog was no where to be found. I was walking away when the lights cut. All around me was pitch black except for the door when i turned around. The red light had faded and all I saw now was what looked like the lights of a regular ceiling light. There were two shoes there as well. I began to feel a little freaked out so I started trying to blink to a new place again. I blinked really hard and suddenly I was in some random apartment, of a girl who I hadn’t spoken to in years. My girlfriend was on the couch as well as her sister, and so was the friend. There was some dudes there but I was feeling a little odd. I went to the bedroom, and felt this hair in my mouth. I started pulling it, but it was coming from my throat and just kept coming so I broke it off and went back out to the living room.
The hair really started to bother me so I started pulling it again. Everyone there was kinda just sitting, not paying attention to me or each other. It felt like a comfortable silence. I just kept pulling this hair from my throat, it just kept going and going. I had a clump of hair at one point in my hand when I decided I’d go to the bathroom, the clump of hair turned into a weave of brown, perfect curls, and I just was like uh…. Ok and put it in the garbage. I felt another hair so started pulling that too, and out comes a giant, plastic, hotdog wrap. Like the plastic they cover the 36 pack of hotdogs in it. And then I was throwing up blood and I peeked out to tell my girlfriend we needed to go to the ER asap. It wasn’t even like cut open or anything and all the numbers (expiration date?) looked funky on the packaging but I was very stressed about it. I went to grab my stuff and had the realization that I should try and swallow, so I did.
And then suddenly I was back in my bed and I had just woken up. I told my girlfriend all of this and she told me I had been breathing so weird, like really hard at some points and then shallow in others until I eventually just gasped awake. Anyways, that was fucking weird. I don’t know that I ever want it to happen again. It kind of scared the shit out of me.
