after reading about the possibility of waking dreaming or lucid dreaming in the books of carlos castaneda, I tried for years without success, then out-of-the-blue the first time was on hols with my then girlfriend on tenerife. Carlos' way of getting into a lucid dream is to find your hands in your dream. in the (ordinary) dream I was standing at the Trevi fountain & there were fish in the water. I saw a transparent fish go by which I thought was odd, then I saw another fish but this one had a lion's head - I thought "this cant be real", so I MUST be dreaming - in which case, find your hands I said - I looked down & there they were (not just hands, but MY hands). It was such a massive shock I just woke up instantly with a thumping heart but very thrilled. It happened only 6-7 times in 20 yrs - so I wrote them all down. The best was where I was washing my hands in a lemon coloured sink with chrome taps - I found my hands & was awake in my dream. Within my dream I thought - "this is odd, because it's more real than real life - so why ?" I decided that in the dream world, everything in front of me 180 degrees was in sharp focus the whole time, whereas in life you have to focus on one thing at a time & that was the crux. I was amazed by this revelation even within the dream, but also realized that if I wanted to, I had no idea how to wake myself up. Just then I "felt" a presence to my left & looking up it was me - looking at me !
I wasn't shocked, just interested, cos carlos says that in a dream you can ask any question & you'll get the true answer - and guess what - I couldn't think of a single thing to ask or do - I could have gone flying, walked out into the street - anything - but I couldn't think of anything I wanted to do or ask (damn ! ) -
then I woke up - still amazed by the clarity & super-reality of it all - not like any dream ever - this was as real as real gets !
these dreams are the most exciting things to ever happen to me bar none - I just wish I could do it to order !

Thanks for your comment Melanie. I was deeply moved by one of your poems but just couldn't put into words how it made me feel. Raw poetry tends to be like that on here. It sometimes attracts less comments cos people don't know what to say.
On a lighter note, I'm loving your hair colour - it is bright and young and vibrant. Just what the me now, should have done back in my youth. I it is good to see you enjoying WOL. Take care.

Hey Laura & Cyn - don't mean to butt into your private meanderings - but have you ever had lucid dreaming - where you "wake-up" within your dream ? - I have about 6-7 times & it is amazing - like THE best ever high

Howdy Cynthia :)

Aha - a fellow dreaming stair-jumper eh? Excellent :D I used to swim on top of the water in my dreams (prior to actually learning, obviously). And as well as jumping down stairs, I used to flic flac down them too - now THAT'S what I call a good dream :D One time I did it after being mostly eaten by piranhas - little bloody bits of me still in a body formation, flic flaccing down stairs heh.

I will look out for some Dr Seuss then - on your rec :)

Did you ever dig out that spooky bible numbers list?

Comment is about kayberley (poet profile)

Original item by kayberley

Laura, I've been meaning to share this for ages. I can't even remember when it came up. I'm a stair-leaper too, always from great heights, barely touching a toe on successive landings, rather sorry for poor souls racing down; they can't bound whole floors like me. It's always a wonderful feeling, never anxious. I'm also an air-walker over bushes and fences, sheds - that type of thing. My feet get to them and I naturally rise up and walk a few inches over the top, as butterflies do. I'm waiting for the dream when I walk 'through' things! That'll be interesting. We can dream only what our subconscious will allow. If I dream something like that, I might be dead the next day!

Thanks for your comments on Works of Art, Greg. I struggled to find something to do on the theme of Art for next month's Subtle Flame at Beverley. I'm thought I'd trial it on here first.

Comment is about Greg Freeman (poet profile)

Original item by Greg Freeman

Thanks for your thoughts on Work of Art, Dave. The structure is comprised of 3 lines of iambic heptameters (fourteeners) rhyming aaa with a final line of pentameter (give or take a caesura or two!), and rhyming b. The same rhyme then repeats throughout the other stanzas. Haven't a clue if it has a name but Kipling used 14-ers a fair bit. I used the same structure for Dipso, Fatso, Bingo Asbo Tesco - one at I did at the Tudor last December.
