WINDOW GATE & THE SHADOW

September 13th 2008

~Dream Induced Lucid Dream

An attempt at a new WILD method created by someone at Dream Views helped to snag me a lucid dream early this morning.

In it my intentions are projected onto a window pane and from that comes a shadow figure that is both familiar and threatening. Is it a shadowy aspect of myself?

Don't remember what lead up to it but I suddenly am fully lucid.

A moment later I 'wake up' in my bed. My bed is against the opposite wall. I wonder if I should switch my bed back to that spot. Seems I had more lucid dreams when it was against the South wall.

The room is dark but not pitch black. I try to move. I can't. I chuckle at myself for being stuck in dream Sleep Paralysis again, this time on my stomach and with my ass up in the air a bit. I calm and will myself to rise.

Oddly my feet lift first. It's as if someone grabs them and yanks them upward. I then am dragged 'out of my body' in an agonizingly slow fashion. It's an odd statck clingy type feeling.

When I am fully free of myself I enjoy the sensation of levitating. Then I whirl around into a vertical position. I gently sink down and sit on the edge of the bed.

I am in front of my window. There are no curtains. It is dark outside. I use the window as a screen to project lucid pursuits upon so that I can see and pick what I want to do in this dream. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of images blink by on the glass in mere seconds. I see a shadowy figure. I halt the rapid progression of images. Who is the shadow figure? I wave it to me.

The shadow turns and looks my way. In the glass it appears to move closer. It then steps out of the window pane and into my room. There is a vaguely familiar feel to the shadow, also something slightly threatening. Niether of us say a word. We just stare at each other. The shadow very slowly lowers its face to mine. It has no facial features. It's just a dark blob hanging in the air. I can't bring myself to speak but I know the figure is waiting for me to break the silence. I know it from somewhere.

I wake up abruptly.
