Hi everyone.

I thought I'd share a couple of Lucid dream experiences I had during the last two nights in a row, feel free to share your thoughts or offer any insight.

On tuesday night i found myself becoming lucid during a dream in which I was back at my old place of work. It was a supermarket. Lots of past colleagues as well as people I knew in shopping etc. I became Lucid when i realised that I hadn't worked their in five years plus I spotted a few things that were just kind of off, out of the norm enough for me to realise i was dreaming. A few strange things were happening. There was a slaughter house in the back area where people put pigs through a machine. There was blood and you could hear the pigs squealing (not pleasant). I covered my ears and left the area. I believe in the astral world people gather around to wach violence, much like in the real world people go to violent movies or sports? Later I found myself back on the super market floor talking to people who seemed very real. I was semi lucid but these characters were certainly entities of some sort, they just seemed so real to me. A funny thing is, a few of them started to get aggressive and as they did their skin rotted and they looked dead. Like zombies. I flew away (yeah flew) and thats the last i can remember.

On Wednesday night I meditated before sleep and intended to go Lucid again. This time I achieved more control. I found myself talking with someone and being invited to a party. I went down a large pipe. Waited for a bit then was let into a room when i became lucid. There were people there I knew and others I didn't. I spoke briefly with some and kissed a girl. She tasted foul. Like toxic. That wasn't the first time I had that taste when kissing in an either very realistic or lucid dream. (very odd, the girl seemed very nice) People were smoking and drinking at the party. We were listening to music, a friend of mine was playing records. I started to laugh and tell everyone at the party we were dreaming. "wake up, we're dreaming". I got some strange looks including a more intense almost knowing stare from a small monkey faced young man. he was sitting down wearing a red top and gold chain around his neck and he was smoking. He was smoking a joint I remember thinking at the time. Strange encounter to say the least. Next I went into the room and sat down on a chair. There were others opposite me. i was very lucid at this stage. I was just looking around taking it all in. In fact i reached into my pocket and took out my phone to take a picture with the camera on it just to prove I was here, in a fully conscious state, with a photo to prove it. I took a snap of the guys sitting opposite me. i looked at the photo (the action and the feel of the phone and the buttons i had to press was exactly the same process as in physical reality). I was shocked when the person in the photo was me. I was looking right at the camera and I was looking at a photo of myself. Very strange indeed. It was like a David Lynch movie (I even remember thinking that to myself at the time).

So just before I awoke I could feel the pull of my waking state. Before I awoke I was conscious in a black void. I heard a female voice in my head say hello and it was time to go back. I spoke back, my voice echoed. A very brassy sound. There was music, like an orchestra playing really loud in the distance. As I awoke my lower chakras were hurting. Vibrating and tense. The vibrating sub sided as I slowly awakened, opened my eyes and was awake in my room. I journaled about the experience.

It would be great to hear your thoughts. Apologies if I rambled on (it seems I did!)
