Return to lucidity and a session with the mirror

It has been a while since I had a lucid dream but Sunday morning I had two.
I was dreaming I was walking home after seeing Jo Jo the girl who helped me write the story last week. I was walking down my road when I noticed I was stepping further and higher than normal. I then decided to jump and went around 15 feet in the air. I realised I was dreaming and started to jump around each time going really high. This is not really normal for me as I tend to fly in lucid dreams. Looking around my road was sunny and I was crashing into people’s roofs braking slates and just enjoying myself.

I then thought I would go in my house but that failed and I woke up. Well I thought I did. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get dressed. Looking in the mirror though I noticed I had longer hair and was already dressed. I looked in the mirror aware I was dreaming. I noticed a few weird things like motion was out. The mirror just didn’t keep up with what I was doing. When moving closer to the mirror I was further away in mirror. Looking close up I could see my face looked as if it was made of parts. Like when a movie has static it appeared to have a static when looking close up. My lips and eyes were all moving out of sync and at some times just changed completely to a new set of facial parts.

Just to double check I was dreaming I switched the light on and off and nothing happened. I then went back to the mirror. I tried to change my hair style and it failed it was almost as if I wasn’t looking at myself but more of an image that was distorted and still some how connected to my movement.

I then woke up. Laid there for a bit to try and remember it all. I have a few problems with the dream I had. The main being why did I check the light switch a second time? If I was really lucid I would not have needed to do that. Thinking about it even when I was jumping around earlier in the dream I normally fly and I still felt gravity in my dream. This has made me think something which I had thought of before. Did I have a lucid dream or did I dream I had one? If the latter is true then the conciseness is three layers thick. I have mine now which I use to write this. I lower level which was confused by the dream but then become aware and the level that thought he was in control by taking over from the lower level.

Over the last few weeks I have had three lines, three lives and just generally having the number three going around in my head. I think it was related to the whole launch of BBC Three when they were going on about three being the magic number. How ever over the last few weeks I thought what if the number three had something about it. This is not the first time three has appeared and will likely not be the last. What if we do have three layers of conciseness and we are only layer two? Or what if we are layer one?

Maybe I just had a lucid dream.
