Lucid dreaming can also be something else. If well rested and not too stressed out, my subconscious just doesn’t have a lot to chew on for the 5-6 hours I sleep per night. That’s when I can take over my own dreams. Fully know I’m dreaming, but am in complete control.
Flying is fun. So are 100 mile high roller coasters. And dreaming about walking on a star. That kind of thing. It is fun and relaxing.
Ironically, as a very heterosexual male, I rarely turn things sexual. Why? Because those emotions tend to move me back into a full dream state quite quickly. Just too much emotional context for the subconscious to grab ahold of and run with.
I learned how to do all this to stop some nasty stress related nightmares I kept having. Worked. And no, there is no spirit side involved. Been there, seen that. This is just my own mind.
Also had sleep paralysis once. Recognized what it was and broke it quite quickly. Not terror involved. Then again, I don’t really do fear. (I’ve had a gun pointed at me. Took it away from the person. Got the shakes from the adrenalin dump about 15 minutes later.)
What’s my point? Just this: we really are all different. I do believe in God and evil and their real manifestations in this world. But I also believe a lot of things that happen start out as completely natural. People can open doors with how they respond, though. Hence my original warning to workerbee.
And yes, I fully believe Christ is my Lord and Savior. Period. Didn’t always, too.
It’ll get away from you one of these days.
