Hello! been doing lots of energy work and getting more rest because of the holiday weekend, results in more lucid dreams.
In one dream, I became lucid for so long (yet not cognisant of where I was / that I was dreaming) that I stopped and scratched my arm to see if I could feel pain. Initially no pain, but eventually pain. Like a kind of dulled response. Lucid for nearly 5 minutes, but didn't get to make much use of it because I wasn't cognisant.. just very awake and puzzled at what I was doing there. Couldn't puzzle out how I had gotten to NYC.
In another lucid dream, I became aware that I was dreaming, and basically sought to enhance lucidity. The wooden floor I was looking at solidified, my lucidity grew stronger, and I felt energy flowing strongly in my body. With this, I started to float up from the wooden floor. Cool, I thought, and went with it, i.e. continuing to enhance awareness and flow energy. Well, my ankles literally swooped out from under me and flipped me upside down so that I was hovering over the floor. LOL. It was a sort of fun and unexpected side effect. But the swooping because it was so fast, made me "dissolve" awake and still feel strong energy flow when I woke up. Fun stuff. The floating up and mild energetic sensations reminded me of descriptions of going astral from LD, but I wasn't trying anything but to be breathe deeply in the dream and become more lucid. I didn't know that floating and movement could result from just trying to raise lucidity.
