lucid dreaming

While waiting for Mr Fred to finish talking to the "first batch", im here to camwhore and blog. Rebekah said wavy hair looks better on me so im gonna give up on having straight hair :D Besides, having wavy hair gives me an excuse for having frizzy hair, hohoho!

Have you ever heard of lucid dreaming? Its where you can CONTROL your dreams. I first read it on tumblr. They even give instructions so that you can achieve lucid dreams. At first i was skeptical until i read the comments where there are people who've experienced it.

And a few weeks ago, i had my first experience.

I did not follow the instructions. In fact, i had no idea i was having a lucid dream until i woke up. What happened was, i saw myself lying on my bed, straight. I was alone and you know how sometimes your mind overwork itself? Well, i try not to think of pontianaks but thanks to reverse psychology, i imagined one right beside my bed.

I have to stress that all these happened when i thought i WAS NOT dreaming. In reality there's no ghosts and such right? So i told myself that the pontianak standing next to me was just my imagination... until i heard someone screamed, "Save me! Siqi, save me!!"

That's when i realised the pontianak beside me was real. Obviously i would try to run away. But somehow, my entire body was paralysed. I forced my head to turn from left to right. I barely succeeded. I began to panic (natural reaction since there's a ghost next to you and you cant even move). And then, my eyes started rolling around as though i was going to be possessed.

I was so afraid and my eyes hurt from rolling around. I commanded my hands to press on my eyes so that the eyeballs would stop turning. It didnt work. And i was about to have a panic attack - i could hardly breathe and my body was paralysed.

And then, i woke up.
In the same position in my dream.
That's when i realised that i was dreaming.
And that's also when i realised i had a lucid dream. Because i could command my head and hands to move the way i wanted to.

Honestly, it was the scariest thing ever. But it was also quite amazing. If you want to try it, you can follow the instructions here.
Good luck ppl!
