Very cool! I’m a bit scared of deep water so I tend to avoid it in my dreams, but flying is a definite!
It’s pretty rare that I achieve lucidity and when I do it doesn’t usually last long (wip ), but I do fly sometimes in normal dreams. I’ve found that my ability to fly (how high I can go and how long I can fly for) is directly related to how I’m feeling in the dream state- when I’m confident I can manage a lot, but if I have doubts or am feeling down I sink like an old balloon
Keeping a dream journal is a great practice for dream magick and will hopefully help you build up a routine that lends a hand to lucid dreaming- wishing you all the best with it, John! Good luck!
If I wasn’t already enthralled with lucid dreaming this probably would’ve sold me- you make a great point, Eliza! We spend a massive amount of our lives asleep- more lucid dreaming would certainly bring more value and pleasure into that part of our lives
This is an amazing experience, Cosmin! That you were able to see and interact with your body makes me think that it, while it definitely could be lucid dreaming (gaining consciousness within a dream, limited to your own inner world), it might also have been astral projection or astral travel (visiting the astral plane, outside of yourself)- there’s a great post about the differences, similarities, and overlap between lucid dreaming, astral travel, and astral projection- sometimes it can be tough to tell which it could be, but they are all amazing!
And I love your last line about being the holders of the keys- beautifully said!
