The first time I had a semi-lucid dream I didn't know what was happening. I wasn't able to control much of anything, but it was a lucid dream in that sense that I felt things more vividly. And also, when I woke up I felt immediately that this was something extra than just a normal dream.
Anyway, in this dream I happened to be in the bathroom of my old childhood home (our family don't own that house any more). I felt like I was just a kid again and I was leaning over the toilet urinating, with one hand against the wall, when I suddenly sensed a small tug upwards in my lumbar.
At that point I became somewhat lucid in my dreams. I somehow knew I was dreaming and the tug in my back came again. (It wasn't as vivid as lucid dream I have had later on, but it was real enough, so to speak).
Anyway, it was quite a surreal feeling.of this tugging upward by my lumbar. I have never been lifted in a harness of some kind in real life, so this feeling was quite new for me.
The tug became more of a gentle lifting after a while when I was comfortable with it, And slowly I was suspended in the air, and my body was levelled out with my back to the ground and my face against the ceiling.
Then suddenly I was moving through the air with my feet first. I was lowered down a bit so I could pass through the doorway and out in to the hall.I was looking around wondering what/who was doing this since I didn't command it myself.
I was floating in to our living room where we have four big windows and I was approaching them. Since I couldn't stop the movement I was preparing for the inevitable crash of glass when my feet broke the window.
But, this did not happen. Instead I experienced a feeling and sense which can not be properly explained since I have no real reference to it.
But I'm going to try to explain it with a mix of other feeling to describe it. However, they would not be a match to the proper feeling I had though.
I was passing through the glass, but not without feeling anything. Instead it was something that could only be described as a mix of a coarse liquid, cold, tingling, electric feeling.
I was feeling the cold from the outside air on my feet before the rest of my body was passing through the glass. I became very anxious before my torso and head was passing through. I thought my body, and especially my head was not going to deal with this passage very well.
The will to stop the dream was coming over me, but the curiosity was stronger, and since this was some kind of semi-lucid dream (I was aware that I was dreaming but I wasnt in control fully over the actions but felt I was able to stop it all) I decided to go through with it.
The passing of my torso through the glass felt like going in to a electric,ice cold, bath, and it took my breath away almost. The passing of my head was feeling what could be described as a gentle brain-stroke, a sort of numbness and a mental crunch of some sort.
When I was through I began to move over the landscape, feet first, floating.
I began picking up speed and the feeling was a mix of fear, anxiety, excitement and serenity.
I could feel the mix of lukewarm and cool air against the sole of my feet.
The feeling of just that was so real that I almost began to contemplate if this wasn't the real life and not a dream. In lack of describing the feeling and scenery,
have a look at this clip where the view is straight ahead, from the aircraft, blasting over the landscape.
At this point the worry and fear that this might go out of control pulled me out of the dream. I almost bolted out of bed still with the feeling of wind in my hair, and my feet felt cold and stiff.
I know the second that I opened my eyes, that this dream was one I would never forget and the feeling of weightlessness was with me the better part of the morning.
