kay so something strange happened this morning at work. Enjoyable unique but strange none the less. And yes you heard right didn’t consume any drugs the last drug I consumed was 3 beers and a bit of schnapps before bed.

anyways I have to open up at a mall for work and its really early I’m tired as all hell and its about 7:00 in the morning. no one is even in the mall till at least 8:30. so i sit in the little office/lunchroom and i decide to nod off for a few minutes and get some shut eye. anyways I’m dreaming for a bit i wake up and I’ve basically been drifting in and out of consciousness for the last 20 minutes.

the last dream i remember having was me sitting in my art class (it actually looks like my old art class and everything) there is a presentation going on some one is talking about a clay head. and my friend is sitting to the left of me and some other person who is unrecognizable but still a little familiar is sitting to my left both are talking to me at the same time. anyways the person presenting the head puts it high above us on a pedastool or shelf or something and were all looking up at it. anyways he puts a fucked up hat with wings on the head and every one is all in awe at it. my friends start talking quickly to quick for me to understand. They are basically in a heated discussion. I’m still looking up at the head, and all of the sudden its just the head and the wall behind it that I’m looking at. this head it takes up my whole field of vision. then i look back down and a way from the head and all of the sudden I’m back in the office. I’m looking at my self in the mirror (there was always a mirror in the room) and I’m basically sitting in the chair looking at myself like i always do. i see my reflection and everything in the room my eyes are open. I’m 90% sure I’m awake even though i didn’t recall a transition between dreaming and awaking.

In spite of this all there is still a weird sensation like some things not right. i look at myself and I’m not moving I’m just sitting there looking back at myself. It’s so real it has to be reality. i can even hear the radio playing still like it was before (its on power 97 for those who are curious, Winnipegers no what i mean). i can also still hear my friends beside me bickering or talking or something, i still know not what there saying. i can sense them beside me and feel there presence i know they are there. i try to turn to see them but i cant I’m stuck in this chair watching my self i can see my self very slightly struggling to move there is a distressed look on my face and there is a weird sensation of pressure or gravity restricting me to my chair. i want so badly to move and it upsets me. my friends start talking in my ear, each trying to tell me something i believe. somehow i get the idea that one wants me to do something and the other wants me to do something else. basically they are talking to me and arguing at the same time. I’m still unable to decipher what it is there saying. im really distressed, i can feel my self physically attempting to move struggling twisting with all my might to break free of there control. as i watch myself in the mirror I’m unmoving all my attempts are in vain. i try to say "stop it " all the words are in my mouth but nothing comes out. just a very soft grunt i can feel myself trying to talk, the wind is going through my air pipe and everything. but that is all that comes out. i keep trying to say "don’t" and as i watch myself i can see my lips trying to move. everything in my body is being restricted all i can do is sit and watch myself in the mirror. i begin to enjoy the weird sensation as i am giving in i start appreciating the experience and the strangeness of it. i no longer hear my friends. all of the sudden i hear a deep dark voice emitting from the radio i think saying something that i am unable to understand. this scares the shit out of me and with all my might i break free moving my arms this is a big struggle but they are finally moving i can feel my self moving my arms they feel very very heavy i watch myself in the mirror doing this. I’m in a trance like state as I’m moving my arms in a circular motion with my palms facing outward like a mime moving in a box (the only way i can describe it). it feels like I’m trying to summon something. this scares me and i try to stop but i cant. its impossible to stop the motion. I’m still watching my self. with a lot of effort it tilt my head upward and look at the tiled ceiling. i start to feel really good i feel free the ceiling is getting closer and closer as if I’m floating towards it the next thing I know I look down and am staring at myself in the mirror, I am quickly out of that strange trance feeling like I had just woken up fro m a dream.

edit:

It was a pretty strange experience this happened 4 weeks ago but I’ve had a few of these lucid trance like experiences/ dreams since then. every time it was in that office when I was on morning shifts. I usually nod off and take a half hour catnap on morning shifts since no ones there till 9:00 so that probably explains it. And in each dream I am in the office. Either way I think I’ve had at least 4 lucid dreaming experiences the most recent happening this morning.
 
Hey man, nice report. Even though it's not induced by a substance, I've kept it here because, well, it's still a trip report, and a nice one at that! I did change the title to conform to the standards.

I had a weird lucid dreaming experience, too, about a half a year back maybe. I had taken kratom (which I do pretty much daily) and I was planning on taking DOC later. I laid down in bed with my girlfriend to rest a bit and watch some TV. After a little bit, I decided to get up and go downstairs for a drink of water. So I did. I grabbed my empty glass beside me and started down the stairs. About halfway down, I suddenly realized I was in my bed still. I thought to myself about how real that dream was... I mean, it was indistinguishable was reality. So I got up again, since I really did want water, and made it down to the refrigerator. I reached out to open it, and suddenly I was walking down the stairs, a moment earlier. I paused and started to continue walkinbg, and I was back in my bed. The exact same scene was taking place on TV as the previous times I had awoken back into my bed, as if I was going forward and backward in time. So I got up again to go downstairs, feeling a bit shocked. This time I managed to open the fridge and grab the water filter, when I was suddenly back in front of the fridge before opening it, then back on the stairs, and then back on my bed. It was like I was in a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream, and they were all lucid, totally real to me in every way. At this point I had no idea which frame of reference was actually the real one. So as I watched the same scene on the TV, I got up again and went downstairs. I managed to pour the water and take one drink this time, before I snapped back through the same series of lucid dream fragments.

However, this time when I got back to my bed, I tried to move, but was completely paralyzed. I'd never had sleep paralysis before and it started to scare me, because I was fully conscious and trying very hard to move, but couldn't. It felt like I had a tremendous weigh on me and I was straining my muscles against it, but it wouldn't budge. It was also hard to breathe, like a heavy weigh was on my chest. I stayed this way for a couple of minutes, which I know because I was facing the clock. I strained and strained, and eventually managed to get my arms to life about an inch. It was so difficult they were shaking and straining. Then all of a sudden, I was no longer paralyzed. I cautiously got up, went downstairs, got the drink, and this time stayed in reality.

Then I took 3.5mg of DOC and had my most powerful and profound trip on it to date. I kept noticing things from my lucid dream sequence lining up with the trip. It was, all-in-all, a very memorable and almost prophetic night. I've never had another experience quite like the lucid dreaming or the DOC trip.
 
i am an avid lucid dreamer, i learned using hemi-sync program WILD technique
lucid dreams are amazing and extremely realistic, also very eery and they make me feel like there is something else i dont know..
sleep paralysis sucks and i get that alot from waking up my mind but not my body.
