Chapter 4: Lucid dreaming experience!

Tonight, is the night I try to achieve the Lucid Dream, for 3 weeks now I have been writing very subtle details on the dreams I can recall, from the sky and path to very specific features, like a dog I usually see a block away from my high school. I'm following all the steps I need to complete the lucid dream experience, now I've kept the journal, I've become aware of the surroundings of every dream I have, most of them are reoccurring so it's simpler.

It's currently 11:56pm, time for bed! I become excited that I don't feel like sleeping, which then I drink some relaxation tea and calm myself down. Now laying down in bed at 12:11am, I continue to state the phrase "I am going to have a lucid dream tonight" over and over quietly under my breath and in my subconscious, all the while thinking of a recent dream I've had. Lets see, how about the one where I go to an amusement park? Yeah, that'll do just fine for my first experience. I must be aware I'm dreaming whilst in a dream.

As I'm dozing off too a mindless sleep, I let my body fall asleep as my mind stays conscious. Everything is black for a moment, then I wake up in a dream, I've succeeded! Some people are crazy to do this if they knew the danger, and that's sleep paralysis. It's real scary! Except this was just a fascinating thing, I had to try it out.

This is so much fun, I can do anything in this dream! Science is super exciting, isn't it? I'm in my most recent one, the amusement park. The only difference, I have full control! I make the choice to go on every single ride with a motorbike why? Because I can! I want to fly too, gosh. If us humans had this much power in the real world then we'd all be screwed. I see clowns and other costumes roaming down below me as I go loop to loop on roller coasters, they look like they're having fun down there. To join in on the fun, I fly down from the roller coaster ride and land safely hovering over the path of concrete.

As I land, everyone in a costume in harmony stands towards me in a distance glare. What was this? I try to bock them out of my dream and replace them with statues of Disney characters, so they weren't so terrifying. Yet, it didn't work. I thought I had control?! They proceed to step towards me, what was happening? No, what was going to happen? I look around me for a split second to see if anyone was behind me, there wasn't. I look bad, they have weapons now! Oh no… I become extremely anxious and start to sprint far away, looking back over my shoulder I see they can keep up with me. I forgot, this was a danger of lucid dreaming… A night terror.

I continue to scream out in pain as they catch up to me without breaking a drop of sweat, both arms and legs were held down as they continued to slash at me with sharp knives. I begin to scream and cry hysterically, bleeding out from the stomach area. I remember that there's only one way to get out of this, and its to kill myself. I've always feared death, but it's the only way to escape. After 23 slashes, I break free from a strong hold and run for a ledge, I'm currently already weak as it is because with night terrors, you feel everything that happens to you… the slashes I had to my stomach burnt, I held my harmed flesh as I stumbled for the ledge over a steep hill… I begin to get a pressure built up on my chest, yet I had to ignore it. This agonising pain was going to be over soon.

Then, I close my eyes and step forward.

I am finally going to escape.
