Sonia Estima – Mask in the Mirror in Lucid Dreaming

I‘ve had several interesting experiences looking in the mirror in a lucid dream. This last week I had another mirror encounter in a lucid dream:

I am in a room with my mother. I am walking around and I notice a mirror on the wall. I come over and look in the mirror.

As I look at my image in the mirror, I have a mask on my face. I remove the mask and to my surprise, there is another mask underneath.

I remove the mask again … another mask!

I do this a dozen times and every time a new mask appears. Like peeling the layers of an onion, every time I peel one mask off my face, a new mask appears underneath.

I finally give up and walk away. The dream continues…

I am still thinking about this dream and its significance. It brings so many questions and ideas to mind: the different facets of myself, or the various phases of my life, or perhaps the many lives lived before.

This is a dream I will continue to carry with me for a while.

I had several lucid or flying dreams where my lucidity or my capability of flying was not understood or accepted by the other dream characters. Here are two examples:

My body was asleep in a private room in a yoga ashram somewhere in Europe. I was lucid but unconcerned with everyday matters, dreaming within the confines of my body in a very calm state of mind – or deep trance. I was trying to heal a small but distracting defect I had noticed in one side of my head.

I awoke from a dream and was able to settle into sleep again. I slipped lucidly into the imagery of an urbanscape. Remembering Tholey’s study of the consciousness of dream characters, I decided to ask some dream characters a few simple math questions.

I just recently got into lucid dreaming and I’ve had roughly about 4 in the past 2 weeks. But one of my lucid dreams stood out in terms of beautiful scenery. I remember seeing a beach in the distance and I was in some sort of Aztec place. I remember I had to go down a set of stairs, walk a few meters, say 25m, and climb up another to get to the beach but as I was walking to the second set of stairs they increasingly became steeper and steeper such that I could no longer climb by walking.

My lucid dreams always start differently. They begin as a usual dream in which I’m doing a regular daily activity. Something out of place happens and I realize I’m dreaming. This is generally triggered by the laws of physics not working quite the same; an object falls too slow, or I’m doing things I ordinarily could not do (strength, speed, telekinesis, etc.).

I am standing with 5 or 6 people. We are dressed in dark, loose-fitting clothes, hiking boots, and wear some sort of backpack on our backs. Some of us have other gear (unsure what kind, electronic equipment?) as well. We are about to go on a ‘mission,‘ an exploratory expedition.
