Ok, I have always had super vivid dreams and reoccurring locations but never I gu actually been able to lucid dream.
However, I lost my heart dog recently and a few nights after, I had a dream I was walking with a dream friend who pointed him out to me asked if I wanted to say hi. I, not realizing I was dreaming, told them I couldn’t, that he was gone. My friend insisted and sure enough I was able to make it over to him.
When I did, it was the most unreal experience I’ve ever had. I could feel his fur on my cheek. The warmth of him. I could *smell* him. He was a Whippet so didn’t have a “dog” smell, he had an individual smell, like a human. I spent what felt like 10 minutes just cuddling him and then woke up in tears.
Was this lucid dream or something else? Has anyone experienced a dream where they met a lost loved one and it was like they were actually there? How can I help it happen again?
