Lucid Dreaming
There are things that only make sense in
dreams. I have thoughts while I am dreaming that do not make sense once I wake
up. Once one continues to fall asleep, these thoughts are transformed and are
manifested into images and sounds; thus, we have dreams. Fortunately, out of
habit, my mind automatically tries to dissect these movements. As I am falling
asleep, while I am half-dreaming and as I begin to have these thoughts, I try
to wake up just enough to grasp my waking language so that I can translate
these thoughts into my waking mind. I am not always successful because I wake
up too much before I am able to translate which results in forgetting how or
that the thoughts I had even made sense. When I wake up, sometimes I cannot
even remember what I was thinking; just like it happens with dreams. Sometimes
I am able to translate them. I translate these thoughts before they manifest
into images and sounds; these thoughts are not quite dreams yet, but they are
precursors of dreams; I call them half-dreams. As I translate these half-dreams
into my waking mind to know what these half, muddled thoughts mean, I am
interpreting half-dreams as they are still in their embryonic state.
I haven’t gotten around to doing anything
more than that, and I wouldn’t know how to interpret other people’s dreams
either.
