A Lucid Dream

I don't really like to nap. I'm just not used to it, and breaking the sleep schedule is not the best thing one can do. I have read a couple of papers on this - there are a ton of disadvantages for sleeping late, mainly because you are breaking your own biological clock. However, it is actually not that bad if you manage to stick to it and make your body get used to it, in which people normally won't.

Alright, let's get back to topic.

I had some good sleep yesterday night. By saying night, that means it is not guaranteed to be good in the morning...get that? I once said that my biological clock works by automatically waking me up upon hitting 7 hours of sleep, but sometimes it breaks for no apparent reason. Today, I woke up at 7 am - this means a good 5 hour short sleep. Dang. It's sufficient to keep me alive throughout the first math class, but I decided to just go and die in my room for about 1 hour since I have some nightmare (read: linear algebra) classes later.

It's indeed hard to fall asleep during the day, but I eventually dozed off. There's a study saying that you will sleep no matter what if you don't move your body (including the eyeball, I suppose) for 5 continuous minutes. I guess it's real then.

Sleeping is great as always. Some moments later, I wake up in a room that is not mine. I won't lie that I only realized it after I fully wake up. Everything in a dream looks perfectly normal. Well, of course, you created it yourself. I remember that my roommate has some stress issues and I somehow hear psychological talks and doctors chatting near. Whatever, I don't remember seeing any speakers and doctors. I just went out of that room and came into a larger space.

It's like a living room but with a very plain design. Some yellowish walls, a window, and some girl is there sitting near the window. Not sure what she's doing anyway, but she indeed looks like one of the girls in my class (based on how she looks from the back). I am not sure what my brain is doing, but I went and grab her hair in the dream. I know, I really love long hair (or any hanging things like long sleeves and long skirt), and it's a dream so...

Whatever, the feel of the hair is not right. Don't get me wrong, I never held her hair in class too. But it just feels off. It's a dream so nothing should make sense...? When she got up, well, mind blown. It's not her. She's a totally different person that looks like a bunch of other people I know. Can't really describe it, but she has the long hair possessed by someone I know, the curly hair I know that should be on someone else' head, the skin tone that comes from one of my previous lecturers, and the face is just a big mashup of various people I can't remember.

To be honest, it looks a little terrifying. Especially when others came in from random doors to meet me. This mysterious girl just stated that she is a new maid here...stay calm, there is no maid that looks like this in any anime I know nor I really have a maid in my real life. But okay this is really a little horrifying.

That's the one last thing I remember before I wake up to my alarm. Now recalling this, I am quite grateful that the alarm worked. For a moment I am really confused whether I'm actually really awake. But looking at the amount of dust I have beside my bed, yes.

Previously, I had some conversations on lucid dreams with some other friends in some other Discord server. Someone said that he gets them on a daily basis, whenever he naps he gets a lucid dream and he kinda enjoys that. Hell no. Apparently it differs from person to person.

Well yea, that's probably my first lucid dream, or at least the first that I really remember. I should have a few more when I was in secondary school, they look like nightmares but with a twist - everything in it comes from your daily life. That makes it extremely confusing because it is really a mix between the real world and a dream. Well, probably that dream where I walked to school which is 5km away is a lucid dream then...it seems that it really started off from me waking up in the dream itself. Wew.

Alright, I guess that's all for sharing for today, see you next time...

Have some horrible things going inside your brain while you're asleep? Drop them in the comments :)

P/s: I have one more which is slightly more horrible. It's not a lucid dream, but it might count as one. Whatever, not leaking it this time :P
