      Creating a dream HQ

      Hello again! Guess I'll cut to the chase...
      I've heard of people who have visualized/created a sort of 'Lucid Dream HQ' that they begin their dreams in, and use as a dreamsign.
      What I'm asking is how I would go about creating the thing. I can visualize pretty strongly, IF I've seen the thing before. I can visualize rooms of my house with perfect clarity, but the room I want to make doesn't exist in reality. If I could see it, it might help, but my drawing abilities are remeniscent (spelling?) of a 5 yr old on a sugar high. I can sort of hazily imagine it from odd angles (a better description would be camera angles), but I can't picture what it would be like if I were actually IN it. The size, proportions, where I want to put all the cool-but-useless stuff I want in it.
      Would the 'Camera angles' thing work until I can work up to the 'Realistic' visualizing? Or should I not waste my time with it?
      Thanks dreamers (:
      Sorry for apologizing...

      Maybe use a program to build a 3d model of it and study it?

      When we imagine we are using the same area of our brain as when we dream... the secondary visual cortices. This is not a theory but a scientific fact. I am not sure what you mean by 'camera angles' but any type of visualization is a good thing when it comes to sleep, dreaming and lucid dreaming.

      Pretty much what I thought. Bar the scatting part.

      Like Faceonmars said, developing your visual-spatial skills is just about the best active thing you can do for lucid dreaming.

      Always, no sometimes think it's me,
      But you know I know when it's a dream
      I think I know I mean a yes
      But it's all wrong
      That is I think I disagree

      Maybe utilise a room you know well - such as your kitchen - but change the properties of the objects there? For example, your tap could produce a liquid that gives you the ability to fly, the coffee could be super-caffeinated that gives you invincible strength?
      My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.

      It's not so much having a logical (if that) means to doing things, more for the imagining and visualising the space in your head. You can make yourself fly or be super strong without having to convince yourself of the magical properties of the tap water.

      How do you train yourself to be better at that, face?

      It's very hard to do something without anything to look back on. He can make a basic building to get a basic view and do the rest in his head.

      Get inspired, take ideas from all your favourite things, books, movies, comics, what have you. Turn them over in your mind as you're falling asleep, let ideas present themselves gradually as you passively consider what you want your dream HQ to look like. Do the same the next night, bit by bit your image of it will gain in vividness as will your visualisation. Eventually you'll feel like you could step into it. At that point you might even dream about it, and will become lucid as you recognise the place you've been incubating for nights on end.

      I know what I WANT it to look like, essentially. It's just really fuzzy, and my mind likes to wander off a bit... I mean, forget CLOUDS, I'm lucky if I stay in the solar system
