How to Stay Awake
Well, turns out I accidentally wrote a book about it - accidentally being a stretch of the imagination. Writing Lucid Dreams felt more like exhaling rather than writing - the words spilled out of me, for lack of a better description.
When I finished the book, I revisited the pages after a few months and was struck by the magic that I had written myself a step by step guide as to what was about to happen to me in the years to follow. Everytime I revisited the pages of this book, I was deeper in the messaging - As though a future more ‘awake’ version of me was in the desperate attempt of waking little old me up, from a very deeeep slumber. This is what becomes refreshingly clear to you once you start to truly awaken, with trust; everything is conspiring for you to wake up- Nothing else matters right now beyond waking up to a Lucid Dream state and under no circumstances, falling back to sleep!
It was years in the making and still, I am wobbly at times in my Lucid Dreaming, but the book has served as a trusted guide, messages from a more awaken state - from a state where all is well and all that needed to be seen, felt and believed has already been.
When I try to understand this phenomenon, there are of course many explanations, but all are an attempt of me understanding the mystery - which I have learned many times over, really should remain as Sacred Mystery. So I focus intently on my only directive at this early point in my Lucid Dreaming - Stay Here and do not, under any circumstances, accept any invitations back to sleep state.
And what do I mean by this? Simply, there will be many old and comforting beliefs, feelings, stories and characters who will want to bring you back into a slumber- a place that will feel and sound safer for you to be- there is a volume and a temperature in your being that startles you once you are in your Lucid Dreaming - and there is a real emergency feeling within you, to go back to the old feelings and ecosystem, where it felt warmer, quieter, more familiar and of course, safer - but rest assured, these are false alarms and one of the most important things to remember when you wake up is - find your support network, because you really cannot do this alone, and that is all part of the design! The whole point of waking up, is that we finally and truly come back together again - and not to connect through our wounds or pain points, and not to connect over saviour stories, and not to connect over any unmet needs, but to truly connect in Loving Awareness.
