Greetings! Today I slept wonderfully. :) And I had a Lucid Dream. Yesterday, I pondered whether it would be possible to remember in the dream that I am actually in my dreaming body, while my physical body is sleeping somewhere on the bed, and then to go and observe it. At least, to try and understand how the dreaming body differs from the physical one by looking at my own body in the dream. Well, and I remembered this in the Dreaming. And everything felt so real, so natural. :) And then I looked at my hands and noticed that they were warm. This struck me. What differences could there be, if these dreaming hands are warm?? If I were somehow 'not myself', it seemed to me I would figure out where to 'fly' to see myself sleeping. But where to fly, if there are no differences? What do you think? Are there any ideas on how one could go to see one's sleeping body from a regular Lucid Dream?
And further. Here, Sergey Izrigi advocates for mapping the dreaming world. Well, so today I remembered this in the dream as well. I was living in a small room in an old rural house. It was something like a guesthouse; we were vacationing there on vouchers. We had an amazing room. About 10 or 12 square meters of living space ended with a semicircular ledge, beyond which water lapped. So the living area was somewhat sunken, and the water level beyond the ledge was higher than the floor. The water extended to a huge, full-wall window, also semicircular. Beyond the window, an lake was visible, whose water extended into our room. I suggested to my roommate that we go and look at the shore. As I left the room, I already had a premonition that I wouldn't be able to return. We went out to the shore, and I found that, despite it not being summer, the water was warm, and I wanted to swim. I started to undress but then thought that I didn't have a swimsuit, so I decided to go back for it. My roommate laughed and said, "Why do you need one (a swimsuit in a dream)?" I thought, "That's true, it's just a dream, what does it matter how I'm dressed here?" But I felt uneasy, and decided to return anyway. My roommate sighed and said that, apparently, I wouldn't get to swim now. We walked towards the house along the same path as before. But the house, naturally, was no longer there. There were several other houses. I tried to determine if perhaps my room was in a different house? Entering one of them, I realized that, indeed, I wouldn't get to swim now. Everything had changed too much...
So, how do you, Sergey, propose to map the dreaming world when everything in it is constantly changing? Not to mention that it can change even if you haven't moved anywhere. You just turn around, and everything is already different. <:-) Here's what I'll tell you: sleep more! Oversleeping is the dreamer's best friend! :)))
Best wishes!
