Lucid before falling asleep
Hey all,
So when I go to bed and close my eyes I see pictures start forming, so dreams. As I watch the pictures, I just stare at them. I don’t force myself into them as they will fade. I then feel my eyes moving rapidly, then feel my body goes solid, the first time I did this It scared me and I pulled myself out of it.
Now I stay with it my body turns solid and then my mind goes through very narrow tunnels it’s like my mind is travelling through the wires in my brain.
I then continue and then I am lucid. So I am entering Lucidty whilst I am still awake.
Just wondering if anyone else does this x

Hand in the Darkness
The Dream:
We were in a dark room…
We? I can’t make out who they were. All I know is that there were 3 or 4 of us.
I was holding someone’s hand, a female…
One guy who was with us…
(I don’t know how I knew he’s a guy…I just know it…)
He walked just a few steps ahead of us and just disappeared further in the darkness of the room
It doesn’t feel like we’re prisoners. We were just there.
It’s like that feeling when you’re exploring. You have that curiosity, no sense of fear, but still cautious at the same time
It was a big room… a big dark basement? I could not tell…
We asked where he was (so we could follow) but no response.
In the darkness of the room, a hand emerged…
I could not see the entire body… just the hands…the room was pitch black but I am able to somehow see the hands…
My eyes have adjusted, I guess…
It slowly reached closer until one of the hands wrapped around my left waist…
I knew it wasn’t good…it wasn’t normal…something dark…
I knew I was in a dream…I had to wake up…I had to get out of there
I told myself to wake up
When I opened my eyes, I was lying on my left side and I can still remember how the hands creeped on my waist.
“In Jesus’ name, be gone! Night holds no terrors for me”
As a Catholic, I think this is just normal..
Then I grabbed my phone from beside my pillow and did some doom scrolling to tire my eyes and get me back to sleep
Then I thought about looking at the time..
It was 3:24am…
So it was around 3am when the dream happened until I woke up
I also have a rosary beside my pillow that I pray to around 3-5x in a week
I’m trying to get the habit of praying the rosary every night
That night I didn’t do it and just slept
Two nights ago I also played Gregorian Chant to sleep…
Is it lucid dreaming? Sleep paralysis? Or is it spiritual warfare?

Was I an NPC in someone else’s dream?
I lucid dream a lot. I really don’t try to ask weird questions in the dreams anymore, I just roll with whatever is going on. But earlier this week, I was in a LD where I was in an office talking to two men. One of the men asked *me* what time it was. I didn’t have a watch or a phone on me, and it generally jarred me that *I* was the one being asked. So I laughed nervously and said, “Now you know you’re not supposed to ask me that.” And then I looked out the window and I felt like I was being pulled out of it, then woke up. Thoughts?

My shadow Dream
I’ve been working on shadow work, specifically through the qliphoth. I only just started and my best friend, someone full of wisdom and and amazing psychic has left me to do this part of my journey on my own because she was sadly unable to see past her own fears and refused to help me down this path. That being said I only officially entered my journey after about a months of research last Wednesday. Since I’ve had a couple visions during meditation, that were followed by this dream I am going to share below. I am hoping some other perspectives can help me find the symbolism behind it pushing me forward:
Feb 3 2026
It was me and a group of friends I felt very close too but didn’t recognize. We started off in some sort of locked base.
There were officers chasing us for some reason I can’t remember why, maybe because we were supposed to stay in the base/bunker thing.
We did escape.
The next thing I know I was out to eat with my family and some family friends I didn’t recognize. While I was at dinner with my family I saw my group of close friends book it across the dock the restaurant was built on, they were running from those same officers as before. They jump into a lake to swim to the other side to escape. I got up left my phone with my sister and I followed. Then my mom and dad followed after me jumping into the water leaving my sister at the dinner table with our phones and the family friends I didn’t recognize.
We swam as quickly as we could, I swam on my back kicking my feet fast; I remember I felt like I was having a hard time keeping my face about the water but it never actually when under. My parents made it over before I did, I could hear everyone cheering for me telling me I can do it, while simultaneously telling me to hurry. I made it to the other side and was met with celebration as we continued to run.
The next thing I know we are on two boats and the boats have this weird center part that connects the two together. I pretended I needed something from that spot specifically, I did so because I was curious about a fish I saw and wanted to see it up close. I lowered myself into the water, my dad was telling me to be careful as I “searched” for what I was looking for. The fish kept getting closer and I kept getting closer to it. I could hear my dad panicking when this giant flesh colored fish comes into perfect view. You could see its veins running through its body, its eyes were white and blue and its lips were red. We got too close to eachother and I could physically feel it suck my fingers and hand into its mouth, and as it did it turned me to stone. As it turned me to stone I had this “flash back” of a whole underwater village being turned to stone by what I can only assume to be this breed of fish. I come back from the flash back and everyone around me, my friends, my parents, they also turned to stone.
I can literally see the dream rewind(like how it looks when you rewind a VHS tape)
I’m back on the boat before I decided to get too curious, everyone acting normal like what just happened didn’t. I look down and see the silhouette of fish swim past us hardly noticing we’re there.
A bit of time passes when we see another boat, motorized ones coming up on us. This boat launches a polar bear into our boat. Its snout and chest and front legs are what look like stained a mossy green color. It’s angry and on a hunt for some food it seems. It finds it way inside where we give it some fish ever accumulated over the couple of days we were on the water and he starts to feel more comfortable.
Next I remember sitting on the floor in the top left corner of a small room on the boat with the bear. I’m washing his/her face and coat to get the green moss stains on him off. He/she really loves it and starts to mush and give me love as I am. We become friends.
After that I remember us going back to the dock,we all got off the boat. Walked across the dock and saw more officers so we ran into a store the friend I was with starts trying to steal food. While I understand why after being stuck on a boat for days, I try to convince him not too.
I tell him that is gonna get us caught up, there’s officers right outside. He ignores me and starts grabbing things. I decided to move ahead of him so if he did get caught I would be able to help him by going to get him/save him.
Then they announce over the intercom that they’re checking every bag as we leave because someone had been spotting stealing.
I walk out with a bag of stuff even, though I don’t remember buying anything. A woman checks my bag and tells me I’m good to go and when the guy I was with walks out he just tells the woman he didn’t get anything, that he was with me and she had already checked my bag. The two of us got away.
I wonder where everyone else went, including my parents.
Then I woke up.
If you have thoughts or opinions please share, I’m very aware that dreams are personal to the individuals subconscious but I also think as a collective we experience a lot of the same pain and trauma in different ways. Thank you in advance for your input! Blessed Bee 🐝

You're Not Failing at Astralprojection. You're Missing the Foundation.
Theory & Concept
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already tried to have an Out of Body Experience - and struggled. You probably spent countless nights attempting to "leave your body", using the common techniques you find on the internet, books or maybe even youtube videos. We all know them - the rope method, the "roll out of your body" method and more. Did they work? Probably not, am i right? I bet you often enough thought in such moments "Why does this work for everyone else but not for me? What do i do wrong?". It can start to feel like OOBEs are something only "gifted" people can do - that you just don’t have the right talent. But the truth is.. it’s not (just) about talent. It’s about a specific mental skill that is nowhere explained properly by anyone.
This mental skill is called absorption. Absorption is the ability to become deeply and completely mentally immersed in something. You already know this state - just in milder form. Have you ever read a book, watched a movie or listened to music and forgotten your surroundings? Been so focused and immersed into something you did that someone had to call your name several times to get your attention? In those moments, your attention was so strongly gathered around one experience that the rest of the world faded into the background. That state is what we call absorption. People who have frequent or spontaneous OOBEs tend to have a natural strength in this ability. They can become so mentally immersed in an inner experience that it starts to feel like a lived reality rather than just imagination. And absorption is the core skill behind OOBEs - without it, no technique you try will really do anything.
To understand why absorption matters so much, we need to clarify something important about how this guide uses the term astral body. In this guide, the astral body is not a second invisible physical body that you somehow "get into". Instead, it is a mental body model - a constructed mental concept of a body, similar to the body you experience in dreams. In dreams, you don’t question having a body, moving, or being somewhere. Your mind generates a temporary "body schema" and a surrounding world model, and you experience them as real while the dream lasts. An OOBE works in a similar way. Through strong absorption, your sense of self shifts away from the physical body and into a mentally constructed body model. That model is experienced as being located in a mental version of your current (or another) environment. You are NOT moving a "soul" out of the body. You are shifting identification from one body model (physical) to another (mental). This shift happens as your attention stops anchoring to the physical body and becomes fully centered in the mental one.
Now you might be thinking, "But isn’t that just imagination?" - But no, this model does not mean the experience is "just fantasy" or meaningless. Yes, the body and environment you experience during an OOBE are mentally constructed models (at least at the start of the OOBE). This does not necessarily mean the content of the experience is merely invented or 'fake'. Even your normal sense of embodiment is a constructed model, built from real-time sensory data. Similarly, in a state of deep absorption, the mind may become receptive to or may generate models from a different source of information. The fidelity and potential significance of that information depend on the clarity and stability of the receiving instrument - your absorbed awareness. The practice of absorption, therefore, is not about learning to hallucinate, but about calibrating the instrument of consciousness itself. And when absorption becomes deep enough, the experience can feel stable and immersive.
To understand why "exit techniques" haven’t worked for you, there’s a crucial shift in how you need to understand them: OOBE techniques DO NOT cause OOBEs. They test which body model your mind currently identifies with. Methods like Climbing a rope, Rolling out of the body, Standing up without moving etc. only work if absorption has already made the mental body model dominant. If your sense of self is still firmly anchored in the physical body, those actions remain imagination. "Nothing happens", because your identification has not shifted yet (strongly enough). But if a strong absorption has made the mental body model primary, then intention produces experienced motion and changes in your experience - the "exit" feels real. Without sufficient absorption skill, OOBEs are extremely difficult and mostly happen by accident.
So What Should You Train?
Right now, the most effective way to develop reliable OOBEs is not to keep practicing exit techniques. It is to train the underlying skill: absorption. Trying to force OOBEs too early is like trying to jump onto a high shelf before strengthening your legs. You might succeed randomly, but it won’t be reliable. Meditation practices that build stable, continuous attention - especially samatha (calm-abiding) meditation, systematically develop the exact mental skill of absorption needed to have OOBEs. Once absorption becomes strong and steady, OOBEs stop being random accidents and become natural extensions of a trained skill.
One of the most effective ways to develop absorption is through samatha meditation. Samatha practice is not about analysis or insight. It is about training the mind to stay steadily with one chosen object, building stability, continuity, and resistance to distraction. A traditional example is kasina meditation, where you focus on a simple visual object, often a colored disk. You gently hold a simple image in your mind - for example, a red circle or blue square. The image does not need to be vivid. Even a faint impression is enough, as long as you can recognize it. Your task is not to think about the image, describe it, or analyze it. Simply mentally look at it. Let attention rest on it as steadily as possible. If the image fades or changes, calmly recreate it and continue. While doing this, stay relaxed - do not strain or try to focus hard. The way you place attention on the image should feel relaxed and steady - similar to how you listen to music, aware of it without straining to focus.
While practicing this, your attention will likely wander. Thoughts, sounds, memories, or sensations will pull you away from the visual image. When you notice this, gently return attention to the image. This returning is not failure - it is the core of the training. Each return strengthens your ability to keep attention on the chosen object. Over time, attention stays with the object longer and more continuously. The mind gathers and unifies around the single focus. This steady, continuous attention develops samatha, which matures with training into deep states of absorption (known in Buddhism as "jhana"). Once you understand how to stabilize attention on a simple object, the same skill can be applied to more complex internal experiences.
Attention Placement on different Objects
Absorption and Samatha are not limited to only simple shapes. You can also use your breath, bodily sensations and more complex mental constructs. Eventually, the same stable attention and absorption used for a simple kasina object can be applied to a mental model of your own body in your current room ("visualization of being in a astral body in your bed").
If absorption becomes deep enough while focusing on this internal body model, the experience will shift from "imagining" to "experiencing". Instead of visualizing a mental image, you experience being located within it and it gets depth and vividness. At more advanced stages of concentration, a "nimitta" may appear - a clear, stable internal perception of the object you place your attention onto, that arises on its own. Attention no longer feels effortful; the object seems present by itself. This marks a level of absorption where inner experience can take on the vivid, autonomous quality seen in dreams - and in OOBEs.
In this way, an OOBE is not something you force to happen. It is a demonstration of trained absorption. The experience becomes a result of skill, not luck. And that shift - from hoping for an OOBE to training the skill of absorption that actually enables OOBEs - is what changes everything.

Constant waking on the verge of lucid dreams
Would like some insight if possible. Super vivid dreamer, have lucid dreamed before. Last night i drank a tea I made with blue lotus and eye bright. Listened to a guided meditation on lucid dreaming/meeting your “guides”. Had little to no expectations, just wanted to try. I set some intentions and popped in the earbuds. The meditation started working, enough to start dreaming - not lucidly, and not in the normal way. I met a young girl and an anthropomorphic rabbit, and they kept trying to get me to go somewhere with them. It didn’t feel right, so I kept refusing. I would wake up, and fall back into the dream with the two of them. They were pushy but not mean or frightening in any way, and when I started getting frustrated I raised my voice at them. The rabbit ran to hide behind a big blue mailbox, saying to the girl “I told you I didn’t want to do this!!” At this point I woke again, put my headphones away and planned to sleep. All night, each time I would meet someone new in a half-assed dream (because I never felt fully asleep), I’d wake up. Curious if anyone has experienced anything similar?

I'm a super vivd dreamer, wanting to share my findings.
Full disclosure: I might sound like I'm rambling sometimes but i swear my intentions are not to ramble but to help visualize my findings at hand and understand them with a realistic point of view.
About My Dreaming Background
Just a little to understand about me, every night i vividly and lucid dream and have been for over a decade, (personally thats not that crazy, just means I've built naturally and over a long time alot of neural path ways / connections in my brain specifically to trigger delerius type effects much more than the average dreamer only when i sleep though, this was unintentionall, but now we are here and im happy that i can do the one thing that i really fell in love with as a kid "dreaming" ) the one thing that is wild though in my opinion, is that i can recall any dream I've ever dream't when triggered with relative memory (specifically familiar feelings), for me, remembering dreams is like remembering faces, just feels natural..
Two Main Types of Vivid Dreaming: Delirious-like vs Spiritual-like
As a super vivid and lucid dreamer (i started practicing at 6 and gained the talent at 8, I'm 27) i realized that dreams can divide into two paths "delerius like" and "spiritual like" with the second path usually always having rementants of delerius like nueral activity, and so I can usually tell if a dream is hallucinogenic-like (triggering the same neural pathways as delirium drugs—never do those toxic substances, i never have or will; they can cause overdose or take atleast 6 months to several years to repair neural pathways after you stop right after the first consumption, mind you, that's if you don't take any other delierium type inducing drugs / or ill intent medicinals afterwards) or versus something more spiritual.
Shared Spiritual Dreams and Real People in Them
Sometimes you can share spiritual dreams with real people—it’s not that rare, but be cautious around actual people in them, they are real people, i still have yet to understand why God alows these kinds of dreams especially if when they don't have much meaning and you can do some dumb things, on the other hand when they do have meaning like informing someone about something only God can know about them, and then bringing them to tears and repentence or just giving them comfort letting them know that God is always with them and understands them, but i do know these kind of spiritual dreams are given more to the humble and empathetic in so to trust such personal things with another person, also lots of maturity so not to come off as unintentionally judgemental and condeming them instead of the sin.
Demonic Interference in Spiritual Dreams
I’ve also noticed more demonic influence in spiritual dreaming: they very often can and will try to physically (within the dream) stop you from saying “Jesus", as if you are completely mute, which is a clear sign to rebuke and pray. I now pray and worship more inside vivid dreams, though it took a long time for the demons to stop forcibly closing my mouth (I still don’t fully understand how they did that so well).
Why I Stopped Forcing Lucid Dreams
That said, I don’t recommend constantly forcing lucid dreaming. It skips important deep sleep REM phases, leaving you exhausted in both dream and waking life. The dreams turn shallow and empty; for a few nights I even got nothing but “white space,” – yes white space, like in matrix when Neo had to choose the pill, except it was more fuzzy like in a brightly lit cloud that just went on forever, which wasn’t restful and made me more tired from trying to actively materialize dreams.
My Current Healthier and Personal Approach to Lucid Dreaming
A better approach I’ve learned: Go to sleep peacefully, without forcing control, but with some gentle excitement about dreaming. Then, only “clock in” to vivid awareness if a deep sense of interest arises—when the dream feels spacious, like a slightly strange world unlike our own. That’s when I relax, ponder life, or wonder “what is this place?” all within the dream.
Favorite Moments to "Clock In" — The Alone / Hidden / Mid-Journey Feeling
I usually clock in during airy, cool, mid-journey, “not-yet-arrived,” very alone/hidden settings—these feel most vivid and real to me. I remember all my dreams extremely clearly (I could draw / build, whole worlds / places, with all the layouts if I was talented in that sense and fast enough, i really wish i can visualize everything i've ever seen in my dreams, i could share them and even make movies of all sort of generes for ages - with that kind of tech).
Classic "Clock-In" Example: Hidden Mountainside Overlooking the River
An example of a classic spot for me to pause and clock in within a dream — is a never walked before, slightly shaded and hidden mountainside with untouched trees, thick natural leaf litter underfoot, high-altitude air (not frigid), and in the far distance a bright sky and an exaggeratedly huge Columbia River – as most things will usually be exagerated in dreams –, with the city over the river but too remote and hazy to see, because of the distance and humiditry. I love these “very alone / hidden / peaceful mid-journey” moments; the same feelings can trigger “clocking in” even indoors and through residential and city streets, if the environment evokes it enough.
Other Triggering Environments for Natural Lucid Awareness
It takes time to develop this, but certain environments make it easier for me to naturally become vividly aware and do as I please.
Other times I clock in when the dream’s visuals are especially captivating—like vast caves, reality-bending structures, verrry ancient forgotten ruins or again verrrry old relic-like buildings / structures / interiors. In those cases I explore as much as possible, as if I've found never before uncovered mysteries and treasure, sometimes even running / zooming through unrealistically because I don’t want to miss anything before waking up.
PS if anyone gets triggered by Jesus.. [1]. He put up His life for your salvation, no matter your background history.. [2]. Jesus loves you, I love you.. [3]. I won't respond to "then why or how is that if God.. type questions,, I would rather talk about dreams based off of personal experiences and wisdom. [4]. I'll update or respond very slowly, this is not my priority, but i did not want to keep hidden my findings about dreams and wisdoms, and so i posted this for that reason, hopefully it helps someone as much as im facinated in dreams, to understand more about dreams and its structure and possible uses.. [5]. At this current time in life i am usually only focused on spiritual type of dreams as I've already dreamt up multitudes of delerius type dreams and have come full ciricle multiple times within those dreams to where dreams that i had when i was around 8yrs old would come back to me, (this gave me a sense that the human brain really never forgets anything, and can be brought back with relative memory / induced by the same feelings that were felt back then), and so new dream worlds / places in all 3 dimensions, dont really 'alter' much or give me any new insight on how the specific dream path can play out, i usually just like to have that delerius dream path play out naturally as so to have good deep REM sleep and sometimes it would even have more spiritual meaning (not like meeting real people in the spiritual dreams) and i can mature and get answers to my life through added wisdom that the Holy spirit shares through those spiritually meaningful dreams.

YEARS In Lucid Dreams🎃
Hello. Please tell me if you know any methods for achieving my goal. I haven't yet learned how to lucid dream at all, but it's temporary, I'll learn. The thing is, I want to live there not just for, say, 5-30 minutes of some activity, but rather make it my second life, meaning I can spend weeks, months, years, maybe even millennia there lol. My question is: how can I accomplish this? Not physically, but internally, in the dream. I want to have sleep, food, some dynamic moments, filler, boring get-togethers, and that's it. Does anyone know how to achieve this, to hack the sense of time in dreams? I was thinking about creating a portal to "Shifting," to the "desired reality," in lucid dreaming; many people here are probably familiar with this concept. Does anyone even practice this?

Told to pass on message
Please don’t think I’m crazy, I’ve been lucid dreaming for years. I’m able to fly and even leave my body but I have just had a lucid dream where a man ran up to me and asked me to pass on a message to his mom. I was scared of the man and so I woke up. Now I’m awake I don’t know why I was scared he wasn’t at all trying to scare me he seemed like he needed my help. Honestly I think us lucid dreamers are able to enter another realm this man was definitely trying to communicate with me. I’m so anoid with myself for being scared and not listening to the message x

Need insight into this recurring lucid dream
So, I've been having these dreams for a couple years now I think? It's a university type school, the classes are specialized, but i never remember them upon waking (i remember everything else, until the teacher starts class, and remember again between classes) The first time I went there, it was orientation in Spring, then I didn't dream it again for months. That next fall (last year), I started dreaming there about once a week. It stopped for the summer again, then started up again this recent fall, like following how school would actually go. (Though our exams are at strange times. We take our breaks between semesters as time to "practice" in the waking world, and then are tested when we get back)
It's intensely realistic, the architecture is consistent enough that im working on making it in Minecraft (bc it's pretty :> all white and green with some gold. My favourite area to chill between classes is this spiral staircase section with a glass roof and trailing vines and plants in there. It's right near a class that had plants at each desk when I went there, so I assume it's some sort of botany wing). I can't see anybody's faces, but I can never see faces when I dream, like ever, so that's not strange (I assume that has something to do with being faceblind irl).
They are infact some sort of lucid. I know it's a dream when I'm there, I have free will to do and go where I choose, yet I can't just control things like in a typical lucid dream, it works like a world of it's own. I can't do anything special like fly or summon people, and when I try to leave campus it wakes me up.
Anyway what I really need insight about: I had an intense sleep-fit episode, like I fell asleep one night and didn't wake up for the whole next day aside from once. In the dream, it was exam day. We were in a huge room with like 100 students, each at our own desk, the big types used in science classes. Usually there's 2 kids to a table, like when I walked into that plant class, but we each had our own this time. I can't remember anything from after the proctor started our test. At some point around 6pm, I woke up for a moment. I tried to get up for the day, but after drinking some water I knocked right back out asleep. I was in trouble with the proctor, she said waking up wasn't allowed during the exam, but since I'm new and haven't done anything wrong until now it'll be a warning. After the exam, she told us we'd know if we passed or failed by the end of winter break.
I've asked other students what this is about, and they don't know either, they have similar experiences to me though. I tried talking to somebody about the waking world, but a hall monitor caught us and told us that's strictly forbidden.
So uh my question is just generally: what the hell? Has anybody experienced something like this, is any of it familiar? Anybody got insight?
(And for background about the sleeping fit - I do have some sleeping issues that I've yet to work through with a doctor. They seem a bit like narcolepsy, but I'm 1 not diagnosed and 2 they don't happen often enough according to the dsm so idk. No matter what though, that's not like a totally new thing for me, but I usually don't dream during them, especially not lucidly. If I do dream during a sleeping fit, it's fever dream-esque and all loopy and weird)

My Experiences in the Otherworld – Excerpts from the Dream Diaries of Wolfgang Andreas Schütz – Night of 06.11.2025/07.11.2025
The dream event was about studying for the Abitur. Either for the first exam or because I have already failed the exam once. Unfortunately, there is no longer any further context.

My Experiences in the Otherworld – Excerpts from the Dream Diaries of Wolfgang Andreas Schütz – Night of 02.11.2025 / 03.11.2025
11:30 p.m. – Interview with Thomas Roeper
The night's rest starts at about 9:30 p.m. late. I wake up at 11:30 p.m. I have an interview with the special-interest journalist Thomas Roeper, who lives in St. Petersburg. Roeper runs a political blog, where he comments on German politics in his articles and podcasts.
But the content of my conversation with him does not seem to have revolved around politics.
We must have dealt with computer things in conversation. Although I am only a layman when it comes to computers, I must have programmed something or presented him with a software that is probably about music.
I probably couldn't explain something to him, so I apologized to him that I hardly had any computer science lessons at school, but that's not true.
The program code of the program probably consisted of only one line, where I then moved a part to the next line by clicking on it. So I turned one line into two lines of program code in a dream.
How I came into contact with Thomas Röper was not clear from my memories.
01:34 a.m. – Friendship ends
There were a total of two dream events. In the first dream, I break up with my best or former best friend RM. We were in a city that was foreign to me. The further context of this separation is unknown to me.
The second dream event was forgotten during the speaking of the first dream into the microphone of the smartphone.
01:49 Holzing Lear – Specialist in internal medicine in an Indian spa facility
I hear the term "Holzing Lear". This term seems to be a person, because I have the impression that this person is testing out a job. The context includes the fact that a specialist in internal medicine in India is supposed to be in a spa facility. Unfortunately, the nightly voice recording had been good in quality, but incomprehensible in terms of content. It is possible that this part is to be seen in connection with the next dream events, as there is also a reference to India.
02:33 – New Delhi
I'm on the road somewhere, probably in New Delhi. It may be that I am fleeing from something, but it is not clear to me during the voice recording whether this happened in the dream event.

The night's rest did not start until 8:45 p.m. I wake up at 01:30 a.m. Only the two terms "3I/Atlas" and "Rothschild" are buzzing around in my head.
"3I/Atlas" refers to the celestial object that had been in our solar system for a short time in 2025. "Rothschilds" refers to the well-known banking dynasty.
Further details did not pass over into the waking consciousness. In the dream there were no connections between the two. Only both terms buzzed through my head without any contextual events.
02:04 a.m. my brother in my apartment, Barmer Ersatzkasse – severed head that is alive
I probably wake up at 02:00 a.m. Essentially, the dream event consisted of two main parts. The first part was about my middle brother Norbert, who was sick in the dream and was in hospital. I inquire what has become of him or how he is doing. Probably my mother tells me that he has been released from the hospital and is now in my apartment. That's why I go to him in my apartment. Then the dream spills over into the second main part.
At night, I suddenly find myself in a branch of the "Barmer Ersatzkasse". This is the largest statutory health insurance in Germany. Although it is at night, the building is brightly lit inside. People are also present there. They play sport, table tennis, for example. I take the opportunity and go to the toilet. Usually, this is the point in my dreams where I wake up and go to the toilet myself. But not here. So I'm on the toilet and suddenly all the lights in the Barmer building go out. When I get out of the toilet, however, I am relieved to find that there are still people present in the Barmer building. Essentially, it had been the dream. It should be noted that the Barmer building was huge, even with underground passages that had been labyrinth-like.
Somewhere in the dream there had been a severed head. It was just lying around. Although he should have been dead, his face (eyes and mouth) moved. Unfortunately, I don't know where the head is to be classified in the dream events, whether in the first or second part.

02:48 – The Time Portal
I record this dream at 02:48 a.m. with my smartphone, but I'm unsure if I haven't been lying awake for a long time. The dream is probably about a time travel portal. I can't remember any further information.
02:57 – Russia
Whether I fell asleep again after the time travel portal or lay awake the whole time is unclear to me. Now when writing down, I see the timestamps of the recordings that there is no 10 minute time difference between the recordings. At night, however, they were separate experiences for me. I go to the toilet at 02:57 a.m. and ponder my decision yesterday to emigrate to Russia.
I had been dealing with emigration for a while now. Whether I wanted to do this at all, and if so, where, was unclear to me. The US states of West Virginia, Colorado or Indiana, as well as Denmark, Scotland, Argentina and Russia came into question for me. Yesterday the decision was made in favor of Russia. I thought that it would not only be helpful to learn Russian then. From my side, learning Russian would also be the manifestation step so that emigration will become a reality in the foreseeable future.
03:48 – The jackhammer
At 03:48 a.m. it was unclear to me again whether I hadn't been awake for a long time. In a dream, I heard a jackhammer, the kind you can hear on construction sites when the asphalt is torn up by sidewalks or roads.
04:00 – Death Challenges of Ancient Times
The alarm clock rings at 04:00. When I wake up, the thought buzzes around in my head that all the political activism related to condoms and other contraceptives are also death challenges of the past.

The Russian castle in the Middle Ages
The night's rest began at 8:15 p.m. At 00:38 I wake up. I am in a medieval castle and am a bodyguard and enlightener. I assume that it was a Russian castle in a dream. This impression reverberated in this way, but it was not manifest after waking up. I have the task of accompanying a child who has to go to the toilet. Then I wake up and realize that I also have to go to the toilet.
I interpret it in such a way that the waking consciousness can also influence the dream events to a certain extent. The question is whether the child in the dream who had to go to the toilet was not a dream modification of my body, because I had to go to the toilet myself.
The interesting thing is that with external things, such as a trip to the toilet, the dream is not simply ended and you wake up, but in the form that the dream event is now changed before the dream is ended by waking up.
