About three nights ago, I had a bash at removing a dreamscape...just to see what would happen.
I was semi-lucid in that I knew I was dreaming but what I did next was pretty much unconscious.
I put my hands in a prayer-like pose and raised them very close to my face. This was so my hands became like curtains in front of the vista. Next I slowly moved my hands apart, hoping to find a new environment open out.
Three odd things happened. http://www.explorations-in-consciousness.com/forums/Smileys/default/tongue.gif
Firstly, I felt a magnetic force trying to close my hands, in that it was a real effort to keep them moving apart.
Secondly, the new environment at first looked exactly the same but within a second or two, it started shimmering rather like a mirage.
Thirdly, once I'd opened my hands to about halfway, the environment stabilised. It was very similar but involved a whole load of animals that were "not quite right". The first dream environment involved animals, but these were your usual run-of-the-mill physical animals.
By "not quite right", they weren't deformed or anything...but they weren't earthly animals. I'm not talking aliens - they still looked like animals, but had unusual shapes or were tailless (where normally you would expect a tail). That kind of different. Oddly enough, I've experience these "not quite right" animals before at least one time.
It was all too brief an experience as by the time I was mentally digesting the animals, I lost lucidity.
