New Lucid Dreamer (foreign, too)

[GamerFuckerLD]

That's good. You got lucky, then. And things will be even better now that you're lucid dreaming. I hope Syria restores itself.

Thanks .

Speaking of nightmares, I had a lucid dream-turned-nightmare today .

I can remember a couple of times of having such experiences. In my case, they are quite unusual. What happened?

I had a lucid dream today (semi-lucid, obviously) where I was at home. Most of the house was dark and few rooms had lights on. As I stand near a sink to check my irregularly shaped hands and count my fingers, I accidentally look at the mirror above the sink and see my reflection.

I was HORRIFIED that my look at myself didn't last more than a second. All I could make of it are my angry, zombie-like eyes, turned inwards with the eyes looking completely white with the pupils barely visible at the top of the eyeballs. From a lucid dream to a lucid nightmare, a scary atmosphere prevailed thereafter.

Looking at your profile photo now, I guess it was inspired by it.

I can imagine how dreadful it must have been. I once saw my reflection as a melting demonic face---but this was when I was awake on magic mushrooms.

I drew my avatar. I call it 'The Trickster'. In his Jungian way, the dream character represents my repressed darkness and concealed wisdom. I'm yet to meet him ...

Pray tell, what is your concealed wisdom?

[Summerlander]

Its reservoir is mostly concealed even to myself. Once in a while enlightening 'nuggets' escape into the light of consciousness. They're called 'eureka moments'. You don't pick 'em because everything, including ourselves, is the product of cause-and-effect.

Eureka!
It appears that the most useful eureka moments are the one's learned in the mist of cause and effect.
However, I have those moments to which you refer and have found them to be fleeting.
None-the-less, they it can be referred to as wisdom.

[Summerlander]

Yep. The universe has wisdom.
