Dream of the Week: Toward the Music

⚡️ I'm actively practicing WILD (Waking Induced Lucid Dream) techniques, including breath counting and visualizations. I'm watching hypnagogic imagery get more complex before I find myself in a fully-formed dream scene, yes!

Lucid, I am standing on a large boulder along a path in a grassy field on an overcast day. I put my hands on the rocks to stabilize the dream and stand up to look around. I look at my hands as a reality check, but there's nothing unusual about them. I stretch one of my fingers, and it extends like Silly Putty, forming long strings. I repeat this across my hands, enjoying the strangeness of it all. How weird!

A young man and woman walk along the path in my direction. I wait for them to get close so I can talk to them. When they get near, I say hello, but the woman cowers away from me, disturbed by my presence. I let them pass, realizing they won't be any fun.

I consider what to do next, and hear faint music in the distance. It seems to be coming from a building far away at the end of the path. It occurs to me that all the dream characters in the scene are all walking along different paths headed toward the music. The music makes me feel happy and excited, so I walk toward it, too.

Not wanting to make too much progress without taking it all in, I pause for a moment and check out another building to my left. It's an incredibly tall, dark glass building with vibrant neon lights inside. I'm enthralled by the architecture and decide to explore. I peer inside the glass and see nothing at all, as though my mind chose not to furnish the building. I accept that there's nothing here for me, and continue along the way to the music.

I want to make faster progress, so I fly forward and stop just before hitting a big, green-leafy plant on a tall pedestal. It's so beautiful, so I give it a hug (yep, hugged a plant). An iridescent black bat comes flying toward me hovering above the plant and me. I am in awe of how insanely cool this creature looks! I notice another building nearby that has bright, colorful guitars adorned on the side of its facade. The pure delight of these little creative moments is so much fun! I become so happy and excited by it all that I wake myself up.

ProTip: Some dream figures just don’t want to talk to you. They’re busy in their own little world. Don’t be rude and leave those people be.
