- I had the following dream which I had never had before. According
- to one of the dream books that I read, this is a *very* rare dream.
- Also, I have never really had difficulty lucid dreaming, I only
- have difficulty *sustaining* it. One of the reasons for this might
- be that I want to have dreams that run their own course, and not be
- directed by me. I can very easily slip in and out of lucid dreams,
- (in fact many a time, I "try hard" to stay out of my dream, but
- most of the time I do not succeed in this, and I slip into lucidity,
- which results in me getting "bored" and I end the dream). Consequently,
- I long for uninterrupted "natural" dreams, that is, dreams that run
- their natural course. In the following dream, I slipped into lucidity,
- and so the dream terminated. I very much wonder what more was there to
- be dreamed if I hadn't terminated it. The dream ran thus:
-
- I am aware that someone has made a prediction. But I don't know
- who that is, nor when that was made. I am only aware of myself,
- and the "happening". The prediction is for a big earthquake to occur
- at *exactly* (mark the word exactly) at 12 midnight. I am now aware
- of a clock counting down the minutes to 12 midnight. At *exactly*
- the stroke of midnight, a massive earthquake occurs. The earthquake
- is in the form of a massive quasi-explosion. (The reason I say
- "quasi" is because there is no sound whatsoever during this dream. I
- only see it happen, I don't hear anything). Immediately thereafter,
- I see tidal waves emanating from the epicenter. The way I see these
- massive waves is from far above them. As a result, these waves only
- look like ripples in a calm river to me. Like a satellite looking down
- at earth, I am looking at all this from far up. The waves keep
- expanding outwards, at which point (this is where my lucidity
- takes over), I start feeling gravely concerned for the folks
- down below. As a result of this concern, I start lucid dreaming and
- start controlling the rate of expansion of the waves. However, being
- unable to totally stop them from flowing outwards, I wake up, and the
- dream is over.
-
- It would be interesting if any of you readers cared to comment on
- any of the above. That's all for now, folks!
