Alan mentioned that he’d been doing some work on lucid dreaming. ‘Why is it,’ he said, ‘that spirits and demons in this realm are always trying to get inside your body?’ ‘I’ve experienced those,’ I said, ‘but not inside a lucid dream; only during the out-of-body state.’ ‘We could go hunting and find out more [...]

A few nights ago I was woken by the hallucinatory sound of a barking dog. I’d been waiting almost two years for that yelp, ever since I’d performed a magical ritual to get myself abducted by aliens. Now, this will all sound weird – but try to keep up with me, because what the bark [...]

I was arguing with someone last night who insisted that enlightenment entailed constant awareness during the dream state. That’s pants! I said. He’d based his opinion on assertions made by a Tibetan Buddhist nun. I’m wary of monastics. They have a lot of time on their hands. I suspect the best of them get enlightened [...]

I was at my parents’ house with K— and she, like me, was wondering how we should spend the day. We were sitting in my old bedroom. It was summer, warm, and all the windows in the house were open. In the sky a man was floating; a man in the form of an elongated [...]

The art of lucid dreaming and out-of-body experience is grounded in concentration and will power. If you decide to do it, if you want to do it, and if you persist in your efforts to do it – then you will succeed. That said, there are certain factors that can influence the degree of success. [...]

There was some lucidity earlier in the week, but it didn’t feel quite right. It was early evening and the city was damp. I realised I could fly and raised myself to the top of a telegraph pole. I felt exhilarated as I shouted out: ‘Who’s in charge?’ I was certain some powerful and interesting [...]

A Military Angel

I was in the park, in my home town, when I realised that I was dreaming. The shift from non-lucid to lucid is not as dramatic as it used to be. I also noticed how this state of consciousness seemed as unsatisfactory as any other. I found myself thinking ‘this isn’t very vivid’, yet at [...]

In the night I heard the sound of a child and a woman’s voice. They had come into my flat. Groggily, I hauled myself out of bed and called: ‘Hello? Can I help you?’ My mind was sluggish, but I knew full well the door was locked and there was no way someone could come [...]

The Trolley

I had a chance for a solo lie-in, so I took it. Eventually I felt the buzzing that heralds the OOBE state. For some reason it wouldn’t sweep entirely over me but remained at a certain threshold. I was paralysed and in great muscular pain, yet I could see fairly clearly that the pain wasn’t [...]

The Golden Cat

Suddenly lucid I found myself on the rolling lawns of a university campus. Many students were walking to lectures in the golden sunshine, casting long shadows across the grass. I stopped a woman who looked to be about sixty years of age: ‘Can you take me to who’s in charge?’ I said. She seemed uncertain [...]
