Away on a fast camel

[realyn]

I had a lucid dream two nights ago. It felt like falling through a trap door. I was dreaming a dream, and decided not be asleep anymore, and then i wasn't. At first, i wasn't scared, because i understood it and just tried to let my mind leave my body and dream. but when that happened, it was like i was trying to disconnect from my body altoghter, rip my mind away like a physical separation. i got a static in my ears and say static under my eyelids, it was like seeing a picture and then the image separating in two, one a negative version of the other being pulled away from its light side. i freaked out and tried to wake myself up and only managed because of hearing a noise. waking with a start my ears still felt the static afterward, like a fuzz reverbrating in them. my body was uncrossed, a sure sign i could have left it* for an out of body adventure. i always thought i would want to leave my body and see what it was like, indeed i've tried before. when confronted with the option, even if i only believe in my head that's what was happening, i found myself more frightened than willing. maybe next time.

* it is believed that sleeping with limbs (ie legs or arms) crossed will keep the soul in the body
