Well thanks to this thread I managed to step into my lucid dream last night. It doesn't normally happen this time of year. But during yesterday I was thinking that one of Bjorks songs on a recent album isn't quite balanced, not for me anyway.
It's a track called Family, which starts and ends brilliantly. The last three minutes are an instrumental piece by The Haxton Cloak and it is sublime. But in the middle is a very scratchy bit with wild violent undertones, which I think fragments the song. For me anyway. So in my dream, The scratchy bit was going on, and I knew (ie my dream was lucid) I had been to Mumsnet and discussed lucid dreams before climbing into bed at 2am. Which may be relevant.
So as I was starting to come round about 6am, I needed to change the middle bit of the song. I looked at the real sky outside my window, which faces north. I could see the glows in the night sky, then I went back into my dream and I called upon Bjork. Who came and she just asked me a couple of questions on how to blend the song, and we did it together with Haxton Cloak to her right, on his keyboard, just silently controlling the music. Bjork and I smiled and then she faded away. I woke a little later, about 18 minutes later, and have that revised song playing in my mind without the scratchy bit. It's not scratchy to others and is Bjorks song, but to me in my dream I set out to change it.
I worry to some extent that my ability to control my dreams is a symptom of something underlying, something worse for later like memory loss or confusion. I never slept much, I doze a lot during the day, especially when the days are longer, just 5 or 10 minutes, three or four times a day.
