Dream of the Week: Tropic Flight


I’m climbing up a sand dune on a bright sunny day. The “camera” is closely zoomed in and focused on the golden sand and my hand climbing up it. Everything seems a little bit hazy, and I’m incredibly confused. I don’t know what I’m doing or why I’m here, and yet I still climb up, focused on my hand. I stop for a moment and notice that my hand seems strange as I clutch to the falling sand of the dune. It looks sort of off, but it’s not quite wavy like in many dreams before this. It’s not entirely stable either and kind of looks as though it’s under still water. I’m so confused, really trying to figure out what’s going on here. It finally occurs to me that this must be a dream! ⚡️

Now lucid and very curious about what this sandy place will offer, I scurry up the rest of the dune hoping to see a beautiful tropical beach once I get to the top. The intent is so strong that as soon I peek over the edge, I see gorgeous crystal blue waters quietly lapping on a beach in front of me. I am so thrilled! I immediately fly over the dunes and toward the tropical seas. I dip my hands into the water as I fly across the surface, just barely hovering above the top of the water. I fly back around to the dune, and a beautiful rock structure (think Arizona or Utah) has formed nearby. I’m having a blast! I continue flying toward the water and back again until the scene shifts before me. I’m now waiting in line to use the restroom that seems to be near the beach. I become impatient while I’m waiting and walk into a lounge area and snack shop that reminds me of a road trip rest stop. I look around for people to talk to, but everyone seems busy and in a hurry. I try to stop a guy on his way toward wherever he’s going, but he is startled and afraid of me when I interrupt him. Several small children are scattered in different places, sitting quietly on the floor. I suspect they might be interesting to chat with, but the dream fades.

ProTip: It’s important to have a goal before going to sleep so you can make the most of your lucid time. It’s easy to get caught up in flying over and over again without clear intentions.
