I think I just had a lucid dream. It was either a very realistic dream or else I slipped in and then back out of a lucid dream. It began as a somewhat normal dream, and at one point I cloned myself, and at that point, I began to notice that I had some sort of control over what I did in my dream, and then shortly I was actual aware that I was dreaming, and I could completely choose my destiny, but I was actually in the dream world rather than awake. I knew I was dreaming mainly because I was aware that I was the clone of myself and not the original, and I knew that such things couldn’t be possible and that it had all begun as a dream anyway. I explained to a classroom full of students and a very enthusiastic and amazed professor that not only was I a clone, but that I was actually just in a dream. Control over my direction in the dream began when I (as the clone) peeked my head in to the classroom to try to get my (the original me) attention and that of a classmate. The professor heard me, and made me open the door. When he saw a face that looked like mine, he thought it was a joke, but when I opened the door and walked in looking exactly like me, he was just amazed and confused. That is when I suddenly began to lucid dream. I felt like I was really there, but I knew that I was not really there and that it was just a dream. I was very paranoid that I might somehow wake up, and so I explained that I was a clone but that I was dreaming and so I might have to wake up and leave them all suddenly. Most of the students freaked out and ran screaming from the room, and my original slipped out (because he didn’t want to get into trouble I think). I explained how I was a clone of me and how I made myself, and how I was actually just a dream to the professor, and he sort of believed me for lack of anything else to explain it. I wasn’t entirely sure it was a dream myself. I kept thinking that somehow I was in the real world and that my thoughts of the actual real world were just some sort of jibberish created by cloning. But then I would realize that I had to be dreaming. I just had to. I left the professor and the classroom and walked around a “mall” type of area which made up the campus.
From this point on, the dream gets personal, but I also begin to lose control over myself within the dream and shortly thereafter I actually wake up. I think that loss of control in a lucid dream came from knowing I was dreaming and allowing my inhibitions to run wild, which returned the dream to the control of my subconscious.
Very, very, very strange experience, but completely awesome as well.
Lucid Dreams are almost always enjoyable… I think I’ve had about 3 that are fully lucid, though I’ve been very very very very close to Lucid-ness more times than I can count.
