I'm really starting to get the hang of this lucid dreaming technique. I usually don't have them as frequently as I have been. In the past few weeks I had about 15  good ones, which is a lot for me. This last one was a doozy.

Two mornings ago I rolled over in bed, ( a virtual roll ). I sank into the bed and fell down facing upwards looking at what seemed to be stars racing around me at phenomenal speeds. This lasted a good 7 or 8 seconds. That free fall feeling in my stomach was astounding. If I could stay in that realm, I would never want to come back, because everything is at your disposal. Like being a genie, and being so overwhelmingly real to boot.

What happened next is something I always wanted to do but was too busy having fun. I decided to look for pick-3 numbers. Maybe the lucidity and some form of remote viewing was involved, but I was somehow sure of myself, and decided to look for room numbers in motels that I conjured up. From afar I would accelerate quickly towards an arbitrary door, and look at the room number. What I was able to do was to see the 3 digit numbers, but the 3 digits would rapidly change as I was trying to focus on just one set.

The only numbers I could see for that night's drawing was 527 and that night the winning number was 792. I'm going to to hone this new project of mine. So far so good.......

If anyone's interested, here is a good place to start.

The way I've learned by a friend, is to wake up around 3 or 4 am, and stay awake for 2 hours or so, drink only and only one beer quckly, and lay in bed and try to go back to sleep. An 80 percent success rate is not uncommon.

Warning.....the first time you awake into that state, it might be very alarming, but the first part of this long learning proccess is to get rid of the fear. Then you can progress to playful things.

If the spirit world is anything like this state and much more, then I'm looking forward to the afterlife.

Be patient....it took me about 20 years to find my own little way of entering the lucid state. Good luck!

P.S. One great method which I forgot to mention is the hand marking technique. Using an erasable magic marker that has a wide tip, write a large x on the back of your hand, while your home, and keep it on there for about a week or so, and whenever you have a regular dream, and see the back of your hand , in your dream, then the x will trigger your awarness. This method has been very successful.
