So I recently had an amazing lucid dream that im sure i will remember for the rest of my life. Now before I start let it be known that SWIM had not taken any substances other than the odd coffee for at least a couple of weeks prior to this experience.
So I woke up one morning with the sound of a tune from my radio alarm clock. Seeing the time I decided that I had enough time to go back to sleep. So I reset my alarm clock and closed my eyes.
What seemed like seconds later I was in a dream... and a lucid dream at that (which I rarely get). (Please note that the dream switches between 1st and 3rd person view a lot). I saw myself as, best as I can describe it, an "avatar" like creature. I held a wooden staff in my hand that had strange cravings/symbols on it. I viewed my surroundings and noticed that I was in a lush forest/jungle at night with minimal light outlining the plants.
At that moment another "avatar" creature came up to me through the jungle, distinctly female, and told me that "they were waiting" in an almost angelic voice. I decided to follow this creature through some vines and bush and noticed that we had come up to an oddly small and delicate bridge that had strange green glowing symbols embedded in the wood. This bridge was more built like a horizontal ladder, as for there were gaps in between the boards (purposely spaced out) that i easily could have fallen through.
After crossing the bridge we came upon a small village, circular houses with a cone shaped roof. These houses were all built in a circular fashion in which there would be one bigger circular house in the middle of 6 of so other smaller circular houses. Some of these houses where decorated with what seemed like almost multicoloured parrots feathers (not normal colours) decorating the roofs and dangling down from the ceilings of these houses. These houses were also decorated with what seemed like diamonds that gave off an almost "mystical" sparkle to them (for lack of better words). These "diamonds" where embedded in the walls and roofs of these houses so that light could be seen through them to the inside of the house.
After walking back outside, I noticed that a large group of "avatar" creatures (presumably the people who live at the village) were waiting for me outside. I noticed that they had formed almost a crescent moon around what appeared to be an "elder/shaman" of the village who I approached. He chanted in a deep voice something that I couldn't understand. Then the "avatar" that i had followed earlier approached me and looked at me for a few seconds, then pointed up at the sky. This was the first time that I had looked up at the sky during this entire dream.
When I looked up I was greeted by bright silver moon shining down and illuminating everything its rays touched. (There were no clouds in the sky and the moon seemed magnified and overlapping a combination of the northern lights and a milky-way galaxy) And when the moon's rays touched me I was was brought to tears and fell to my knees. A magnificent state of bliss and ecstasy washed over me in relentless waves and tears of joy poured down my cheeks. The stars shone like nothing I have ever witnessed before. Just an amazing state of bliss, happiness, peace.... is was so intense i am still at a loss for words. (This experience even topped SWIM's most blissful mushroom experiences) I gazed around at everyone and they seemed pleased with my state of bliss. I looked around at the jungle and all the plants were given a silver ora around them. I looked at the "avatar's" houses and they shone like stars themselves. The diamonds reflecting the moons rays and creating a beautiful sight. I cried and cried with the villagers watching me, pleased with my state.
I suddenly woke up still crying and still in the magnificent state of bliss and joy that I had experienced in the dream. I lay there for a half hour just trying to grasp what had happened and eventually got on with my day. To this day I still feel this has been the most intense state of bliss and ecstasy I have ever experienced.
Has anyone else ever experience this state of bliss/joy in a dream before without the aid of other substances? Please, please let me hear your dreams too.

SWIM and ElusiveMind are fictional characters and everything they say is fictional
