Waking

When I wake up in the morning it feels as though I am being poured back into my body. I feel it enter through the center of the top of my head and it travels through my head to my spine where it travels down my vertebrae to the base of my spine and from there downwards to the backs of my knees. From there it goes down into my feet. Then I begin to feel as though I am being inflated. Sensation changes and I start to rise from a different place in my mind. Hearing returns and my body temperature goes up and I feel a need to stretch, like the muscles are waking up too. I remain at that level until I open my eyes. Then I can get up.

The Problem with Lucid Dreaming

In Lucid Dreaming the Conscious Mind remains actively awake so that it can observe the workings of the SubConscious Mind. The danger in this is that the Conscious Mind can override the SubConscious and / or misinterpret the symbolic language the SubConscious Minds uses as its communication. (This is why Astral travelers often attach a silver cord to their astral bodies. It is the Conscious Mind maintaining a connection to the physical self for fear of losing its identity.)

Lucid Dreaming, like most Spiritual lessons, is not a thing to hold onto. It is to be experienced and let go of so that the newly discovered SubConscious Mind may continue its work unhindered by the limited scope of understanding which characterizes the Conscious Mind.
