TV in my Head

September 13, 2008 Dreams No Comments TV in my Head

Last night, my lucid dreaming took a new turn. A friends has suggested that this was more of an out of body experience.

After a night drinking, I went back to my friends house to play some Halo 3. After 5 hours of gameplay, we moved on the level editor. Another hour had passed and friend had passed out. I thought it was time for some sleep, not turning off the Xbox 360 or the TV, I closed my eyes, but as I did I found myself in the game Halo, looking at what was on screen. I found myself unable to get away from this vivid mental image, even if I opened my eyes, when I closed them again I was straight back in the game. This I did many times, to try and get away from the immense pain I was receiving from each shock, but every time I closed my eyes, I went back, like I hadn’t even left.

In the editor if you look at something and press Y it disappears, I found myself doing this in my head. I started imagining items that were from the game and I could get them generated in front of me. I went through a lot of items quickly, making them appear then disappear, constantly moving on. I thought to myself I’m in a dream, so I’ll imagined other objects, as quickly as I could build a whole picture of an object it would appear, but in doing so I received an electric shock. I felt that my arms were spazzing and I could see white lighting around them for short periods. To escape this I instantly opened my eyes to return to reality. Closing them again I was back in the game, and I could not escape the temptation of lucid dreaming, by creating whatever I wanted, receiving shock after shock. I’m dreaming I know I am, so I thought that I must be able to remove these shocks, so I had sex, to move to pleasure but the shocks still came.

I found that if I created something slowly, the object started off faintly, and grew into a more solid shape, I could avoid theses shocks altogether. This took a lot more strength and concentration, and went back to thinking of objects quicker, and then the shocks came back. These shocks really hurt, and I couldn’t take it any more.

I was open to the idea of connecting with people and sharing dreams, but it had never been in my head that a connection could be made with entities. After such an experience I decided I should start to write my lucid dreams down.
