Robert Waggoner’s Top 10 Lucid Dream Experiences
- I have asked to experience “my feeling tone” and wiped my ego awareness out of existence!
- I have sought out future information in a lucid dream and later seen it validated in waking life!
- I have interacted with the non-visible awareness behind the dream and noted how it meets Carl Jung’s qualifications for recognition as an ‘inner Self!
- I have questioned a dream figure, totally accepted her and watched as she col lapsed into a wisp of colored light which shot into my torso and energized me!
- I have wondered about the actual nature of ‘chi’, and then watched two piercingly bright, counter-clockwise, tornado-like images of light appear on the horizon and coming spinning towards me, growing huge above, as I joined with them in free
abandon! - I have stopped to meditate in a lucid dream and as my mind cleared, watched strips of the visual image fly away and the brilliant light of awareness shine through the holes in the visual field!
- I have talked to deceased figures in my lucid dream and extracted information from them, which I later verified as accurate!
- I have been helped by two beings to get to a sanctuary in a curious space where I met a spiritual being composed of blue light who towered above me, and changed my cellular life in a giant inner explosion as I tried to run past her.
- I have talked to a master of esoteric Chinese Buddhism occasionally for 15 years, who I later learned exists in real life!
- I have asked dream figures to show me past life aspects of myself and then rec ognized these aspects and felt joy, compassion and connection with them.
Dr. Ed Kellogg Top 10 Lucid Dreams
1. I’ve merged with my OverSelf, and Experienced the Multiverse from His/Its point of view.
2. I’ve experienced a number of trainings and initiations in lucid dreams, that have had profound effects on me both during the dream, and afterwards.
3. I’ve explored many paths of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, visiting many strange places, and meeting many strange entities. (See LDE Magazine March 2012.)
4. I’ve joyfully engaged in magical battles with witches, wizards, and monsters, throwing lightning bolts, shooting laser beams, and using a variety of incantations and spells. In one of my favorites, I defeated a giant robot monster using an improvised enlightenment spell, defeating him and changing him into an evolved human being at the same time.
5. In one lucid dream I flew to the Moon, landed, and when looking back to the Earth (with a certain feeling of pride at my accomplishment), saw my dog Shazam flying through space to join me! He landed on the moon, and then held up his mouth to show me he’d brought his favorite jingle ball with him, just in case I wanted to do something really important, like throw it for him.
6. I’ve travelled to many alternate universes, parallel realities and even appar ently ‘fictional'(?) ones. For example, I’ve taught a class on lucid dreaming at Hogwarts while lucid dreaming. (Note: the Headmaster promised me a sti pend, but to date I have yet to receive a single bronze Knut, let alone any gold Galleons, for my efforts.)
7. I’ve met with both the living and the dead, in evidential mutual dreams and psychopompic dreams, proving to me that dreaming takes place in an inter subjective space.
8. I’ve healed myself and others of illnesses in lucid dreams, that later apparently had positive physical effects on the person healed. (See: http:// dreamsounds.hypermart.net/psigallery/psi2003gallery/kellogg.htm )
9. I’ve flown to and bathed in “The Fountain of Youth”, experiencing one of the most breathtaking and beautiful dreamscapes I’ve ever encountered.
10. I’ve transformed myself into other creatures – through full kinesthetic body transformations. For example, I fondly recall becoming a very large winged dragon, and then flying off a high cliff to glide high above a rugged sea shore . . .
Treat your dreams with patience and an open mind. Your dream characters are a representation of yourself and your subconscious, treat them with love. Your dreams affect your waking life and your psyche. You can feel pain in dreams also, so it is not recommended to hurt yourself or others, or do things of negative intentions. Dreams are powerful gifts that can be used to channel positive energy, do healing work, have fun and better your waking life.
