Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

When I was younger, I went through a phase of purposely inducing myself into lucid dream states. It ended when I got caught in a loop of exactly this and was never sure I was actually waking up. It was actually terrifying

Or did it end...?

Though in all seriousness, this is nothing like my experience of lucid dreaming where I was highly aware it was a dream, it felt more like collaborating with my imagination "now I can fly" and my dreaming mind would make that happen "suddenly I can't fly" and I'm plummeting to earth, it was all very obviously a dream to me, though still thoroughly enjoyable.

I have been trying to lucid dream for quite a while. It takes quite a bit of preparation, but some techniques do work. But I ALWAYS get stuck at actually shaping the dreams into what I want. I realize I'm in a dream, but the environment is frozen as I found it. "And then what?"

It's a balancing act. Push it too hard, and the dream collapses. Don't push enough, and you relax back into true sleep again.

Try and tweak 1 thing at a time. You'll also need to roll with the narrative. It's like improv, saying no is dangerous, it can leave the other party with nowhere to go. Always agree with their premise, bit add your own spin to it.

As for techniques, I've found dream checks to be most effective. You need to do it regularly, while away. This will make you also do it in a dream. Mine is to check my back pocket for "hammerspace" type capabilities. I will never have an AK47, or a giant mallet in my back pocket. When I pull one out, I know I'm dreaming. It also makes nightmares a non issue.
