Dream of the Week: Citizens of Water City

⚡️ I experience the loud, whooshing sounds that I've come to recognize as conscious dream entry of a Waking Induced Lucid Dream (WILD). It takes a beat as the fast moving bands of color (hypnogogic imagery) slowly give way to a full-blown scene. Soon, the darkness is gone and I am lucidly aware, gently bobbing in quiet waves of blue green water.

I lift my hand from the water to the sky, recalling my goal to simply observe the dreamscape before doing anything. I pause. I look around. A metropolis starts to appear above the water, maintaining the quiet and gentle waves throughout the streets. I stand and command the dream to stabilize. The scene becomes clearer. I rub my hands together to continue building clarity.

I suddenly feel powerful as if I am the master of this realm. There are people walking around the city and I command them all in a big booming voice to "ground yourselves." They seem to sit or stop where they are and listen for my next direction. In the same booming voice, I instruct them all to hug each other and they do. I approach a man to hug, but he seems confused by me. I seem to move on to kiss a woman who also seems confused by me. I can feel my lucidity slipping so I go for a walk in the watery streets and run into Beck from SNL. I am confused by him and can clearly see that the dream is fading away. I wake up.


Quick Reflection:

Keeping the trend with last week, I had fewer silly dreams and many more regular mundane dreams through the week. Work was pretty normal, life was jus the same with nothing particularly special to report. Saturday Night Live showed up a lot this week! Some ridiculousness with many cast members in dreams like, Michael Che is Joke Pregnant which went down exactly how it sounds and Pete & Colin, where Pete Davidson tries to help Colin Joust with his cocaine addiction. 🤷‍♀️
