Lucid Dream Report – Urban Explorer

In this series, I will be sharing real lucid dreams from my personal dream journal. I will detail my methods to induce the lucid dream and any dream control tactics I use during the dream. My hope is that you can use these reports to help inform your own dream practice and incorporate some of the lessons that I learn as well as gain inspiration for your next lucid dream.

Lucid Dream – Urban Explorer

Date: 12/16/24

Dream Goals: No set goals other than to become lucid

Techniques Used: As I laid down for bed, I performed a mindfulness-type meditation. I focused on my breathing for a minute, then shifted my attention between all my senses (sight, sound, tactile) in a similar fashion to the SSILD technique. I find this greatly increases my dream recall and dream clarity

After approximately 6 hours of sleep, I woke up naturally to use the bathroom and decided to attempt a SSILD. After a few moments, I got the distinct feeling that I will now have trouble falling asleep. I decided to shelve my lucid dreaming aspirations and focus on getting good sleep. I suppose my few minutes of mindfulness followed me into the dream world after all…

Lucid Dream

“I found myself in some downtown urban area with a whiff of lucidity buzzing about my mind. It was a pleasant street with cafes and restaraunts and people cruising around. The feeling of lucidity kept popping into my mind and I must have had just enough mindfulness to grasp it. I realized I was dreaming and took a moment to explore my surroundings. I walked around and made a point to visually inspect objects and touch things. It never ceases to amaze me how realistic lucid dreams are…they are %100 as realistic as waking life. I end up getting onto a metro bus and go along for the ride. I enjoy taking a tour of this dream city!”
