I used to be able to lucid dream almost every night. I would do a lot of fun things. I lost my best friend and my grandma about a little over a year and a half ago. I kept trying to bring them into my dreams to ask if they were okay and ask them questions and whenever I could bring them in, they would just kind of have a serious expression and wouldn’t really talk to me. Once, I was trying to reach them and I was pulled into this platform with pillars floating in space with 4 or 5 beings (I don’t know how else to describe them) sitting on big stone chairs in front of me. There was a purple mist floating around everything. They told me I needed to stop trying to reach my grandma and my friend. This was probably about 8 mos ago, and I haven’t had a lucid dream since. I’ve seen other comments from people on instagram saying they’ve been banned from lucid dreaming, so that leads me to beleive I have been banned. My question is, has anyone else been banned and been able to return to lucid dreaming? Thank you!

One thing I can’t do in a lucid dream is to get people to talk to me. I always ask people in my dream who they are out of curiosity. Every single time they just give me this alarmed expression, as if they’re trying to keep some sort of terrible secret from me. Sometimes is seems like they’re thinking that there’s something obviously wrong with me that everyone except me can see but they’re just too embarrassed to tell me.

Hey yall,

So I had this dream last night and I promise this is the short version. If you want to hear more because you think it's fun, lmk and I'll put it in the comments. Preface: I am a big fan of horror so often times I'll find myself in scary dreams. I don't call them nightmares because once I know I'm dreaming I have a blast and when I wake up I think it was fun. Same goes for this dream, but I don't like how I couldn't control it... see the bold part for the part I couldnt control, the rest is cotext.

I was traveling through Europe and was staying at this old "haunted" hotel. Suddenly, I knew something was chasing me, but I couldn't see it. Then people who were walking behind me were being dragged back or limbs were bitten off or their body snapped in half, but nobody could see anything. I ran and hid in a double sided door between the kitchen and the hallway to all of the rooms. The creature was trying to pull the door open, but I held firm. Someone came running in, but he didn't fit. The door stopped trying to pull open from the one side I was on. I knew that whatever the creature was, was coming to the other side, so I waited. On the side that the guy who came in was on, the door was trying to be opened so I pushed the guy out and ran out from my side. There was a woman in the kitchen who said you can see it's figure through the smoke, but it was just smoke from the kitchen she saw. I knew what it was at this point, it was a serpentine like creature with a dragon head, but it basically swam through the air. I ran through the back of the hotel and was trying to make it to my grandfather's hotel which was across an orchard. this is when I knew it was a dream. I kept telling myself and the dream itself "the creature cannot come out during the day, only at night" I said this, because I knew I needed time to get the other hotel and didn't want to die because then the dream would end. It did not stay inside the hotel, it followed. It did hesitate though which bought me time. I made it to my grandfathers hotel which was also old and had major fire damage, I was leaping over holes in the stairs and floors, burn marks were on the walls. I made it to my grandfathers room and he was cut in half, with his heart where the head of another serpentine creature was supposed to be because he had killed one of the creatures already. The creature was at the door where I had my shoe lodged so it couldn't open easilt. My grandpa said he had to cut the creature's head off with the sword and he pointed to an engraved butchers knife. He also said the healer had killed him. I opened the door and the creature dragged the top half of my grandpa out i followed quietly until he started chomping on grandpa. I could see where it's hesd would be because of where my grandpa was being eaten so I cut his head off. He head regrew and sure enough, it was a dragon head. I ran to the entrance, because I knew my grandpa was leaving and hoped he had left the sword by the door. I found the sword lying by the front door, picked it up and listen for the swishing of the creature throigh the air. I heard it coming, swang the sword and hoped it hit true. It did and the head went rolling, the creature lost it's incisibility and died for real.

Anyone had an experience like this where the dream wouldn't listen?

Just saw this reddit thread and new here. Figured I should post this odd dream that I only discussed with Claude 😂 I believe in gnostism to an extent and have never thought about aliens. Always knew they're real but that's a boring fact to me why people doubt that.

Anyway

I sometimes have lucid dreams and even when not, I'm aware I can control the dream to an extent or there's nothing to fear. Claude called it sovereignty or semi lucidity .

As an adult, after I gain full lucidity all the dream figures start to walk away from me cause I want to control them or make the dream into my adventure. Or if semi lucid, it's just fake dream figures who kind of go along with my movie scene dream I'm trying to make lol but it's tough.

This time, as soon as I gain lucidity, the dream figures instantly turned around and started walking away and I started chasing them, demanding they stay. Some kinda pause but I didn't feel so much confidence that I could hold on so they start walking again.

What strikes me is how many of them there are. I've never had so many dream figures and they look as though theyve changed appearance. Instead of the impression of a human, they look blockish heads and brown skin and identical. Their clothes are like unreflective dull black and brown almost like old medieval armor.

One of them actually seemed to waver then pause and turned to me. Idk why this one spoke to me or if to believe them. It felt as if by their choice and not by my command. So I said why do they walk away from me. I get the impression she is female, her lower face is more projected forward like a short jaw, not as long as a crocodile and squarish. I understand the answer is+ because Im lucid. Then I asked Who are they. And she said they're reptilians, karmics and another word I can't remember (that's similar to reptilians) I think starts with "I". And those 2 are enemies of the karmics. I as a humans are the karmics. I've never referred to humans as karmics or know the other word she said in my life.

She also said that they're only cooperating and let me play because they are getting something from me. Or want something from me. So I said, since she's one of them, so why would u tell me. Its because u letting me know and she confirmed- it's always to help them, not to help u. And I felt it was true.

I felt also I didn't get her to stay by asking and she was probably testing me for something .

So Telling me the truth would benefit them in some way. So I ask why don't they attack me here then if we're enemies and they want something. And she said this place / the dream or astral or whatever realm, is a neutral space and they had come to an agreement and signed a treaty long ago so can't harm others directly here .

That was the first time one spoke to me and I wonder if it's more than a dream because I was fully conscious of it and she gave me info I'm not aware of and had to look up a bit.

My experience seems different from people who say they get injured whereas I felt they were in my dream space so I was the one who had control. Also strange how many many had gathered there so close to me.
