I looked around a room. It seemed familiar. This was not the first time I entered the room. In fact, it was a room in my grandmother's house. Within these four walls hold a dark and gloomy story. A tale filled with demons and ghost. Old bedtime stories that would scare younger kids -they scared us growing up.

The room holds some type of evil presence in it. Everyone who grew up in the house knows of the stories. We all take them very seriously, but that could be because that little blue house is right across the street from a cemetery.

Three lucid dreams had taken place in the haunted room. I have not fully understood the reason, but some day I hope to. It is my goal.

As I stood in the familiar room, a person walked in. At the time I was not lucid, but when a body walked and tapped me on the shoulder, the sight forced me into a lucid state. Standing in front of me, all wide-eyed, with a smile stretched across its face was perfect copy of... me?

There I stood, looking myself in the eye. I didn't know what to think... I didn't know what to say. I was at a lost, but when I saw the smile something clicked. Memories cascade as I remember the crooked smile of my subconscious.

"You're my subconscious!?" I blurted out without a second thought. The smile on the his face faded and now he stared at me with a bland stare. I knew a line had been crossed, and the memories of last time kept me from asking any more questions.

I threw my hands up in an attempt to apologize and said, "I'm sorry... How about you just show me exactly what I need to see?"

My subconscious extended his hand. I examined it and his facial expression before taking his hand. He lead me out of the door and suddenly, my subconscious feet began to hoover over the ground. His body floated up slowly, as he lift me off the ground.

Flashes of the events that took place last time I met my subconscious fell dominant over my decision to allow him to take me. I let go of his hand before rising to far off the ground. I hit the earth with an audible thud and looked up to see my subconscious float off into the distance.

I knew a great opportunity had been missed, but I could not just float off with someone, or something, that proved his lack of concern. Someone, or something, that could go from happy to piss angry in a matter of seconds. My subconscious would be angry. Little did I know, he was already very upset.

I returned to my feet and dust myself off before turning my attention to building in the distance. I shrugged and decided to go exploring. I had a lucid dream to enjoy. Little did I know, my subconscious had something else in mind.

As I begin to walk toward the unfamiliar building, suddenly a feeling of weakness washed over my dream body. The lucidity slowly slipped from my grasp. I wasn't ready to wake up. I wasn't ready to give up a lucid dream. If only I had kept my mouth closed, or just followed my subconscious. At that moment I knew what I had to do to maintain my lucid dream. A technique that people practice came to mind. I looked up into the sky and yelled!

"Clear the skies and CLEAR my mind!"

I said it only once and my vision cleared, but only a little. I tried to say the phrase again but something stopped me. My lips... They were gone. I couldn't speak because I did not posses the tool to do so anymore. I knew at that point my subconscious was not happy with my presence.

I tried again to speak. I kept trying, not wanting to give up control, but in the end I was pushed out and back into reality as I woke.

What I discovered on this adventure:

The subconscious has complete power of the dream world and will not give up that power to someone who wants to put him in a submissive role. He/she will only answer questions that need to be answered, or show you things it wants you to see.

The subconscious will push you out of a lucid dream if you try to gain power beyond what is given. If you try to exceed it you will be scared into submission, therefore pushed out of lucidity.

Techniques take practice in lucid dreams. Your brain is a muscle. Train it and you are sure to become better.
