Lucid Dreaming Trouble

Bit of background first, I try to lucid dream most nights and I keep a dream journal to both keep track of all my dreams and to enhance future ones.

The dream started like this - I was trying to enter my mom's number into a phone, but no matter how many times I tried, it just wouldn’t work right. The phone seemed to flicker with an unearthly light, the numbers shifting and dancing like an enchantment gone awry.

Frustration grew, and I paused, a whisper of doubt crossing my mind. Almost like I was being possessed by another dreamer.

Suddenly, I found myself in a moonlit forest. An altar stood before me, candles flickering with an otherworldly flame. The air was charged with the presence of something powerful, and I realized I was not alone. Shadows danced around me, figures with glowing eyes watching from the darkness.

A voice, deep and resonant, broke the silence. "You are at the threshold of power, but you turn away." It was then I realized I had stopped myself from dreaming, from embracing the full potential of the dream. I noticed demons lurking at the edges of my vision who seemed to mock me, their laughter mingling with the rustling leaves.

The realization hit me hard, and I woke up with a start, sweating. I had been so close to unlocking something profound, only to let it slip away. Lucid dreaming, and indeed all dreaming, is a sacred journey, a realm where we can tap into hidden truths and unlock the vast reservoirs of our imaginations. I keep asking myself today why I failed to harness the transformative power of my own subconscious last night and was so frightened I had to stop myself.

I usually have anxiety dreams, like unseen gunmen are shooting at me. I don't see profundity in my dreams. They're directed by David Lynch and Sam Peckinpah. Last one was someone cornering me by moving furniture in my way, then aiming a pistol at my head.

@SparklyPrincess It doesn't take much to decode most of them. Dealings with my job or relationship, any of those could have represented the furniture in the way. Maybe even the music business. So much is open-ended. It could be any of a dozen obstacles.
