For whatever reason, during Ramadan, I tend to have more vivid dreams. In some cases I even become lucid, whereas that normally does not happen. I have no training in lucid dreaming, although I have desired it on occasion (and then chickened out).
This morning, my alarm clock did not go off or was not loud enough for me to hear. At that time, I was having a dream that a boy was supposed to come and wake me up, but he was absent that day (yes, as if I lived in a school). When I realized that, I fumbled around looking for my clock only to realize that I had missed suhoor.
Momements later, I realized, “Wait! I’m dreaming!” Then, as I gradually became conscious, I said to myself, “And it’s happening in real life!”
I woke up and reached for my clock to discover that I still had about 30 minutes to eat suhoor. Allahu Akbar.
That’s amazing. I have had lucid dreams before…when I used to work I dreamed that I missed the bus and then the alarm clock would go off and I’d realize it’s time to get up and get ready for work.
Good resource on this at http://www.luciddreaming.com
That’s a fascinating observation. I have a similar experience, in which I have more lucid dreams when I am meditating more or sitting in nature more than usual. Perhaps it shows the power of Ramadan in your life, and lucid dreaming is a fruit of that work.
