      Last Air Bender style elemental control.

      Twice I've tried fire bending in LD's, and twice I've failed.

      The first time I managed a flicker of flame in the palm of my hand but nothing else. I think I go at it too hard, in my excitement I tend to just thrust my arm out and strain. So, I've been looking at the actual avatar style of bending as a place to start in my next lucid dream.

      Any advice for fire bending first up? After I master that I'll go on and master the others!

      Hmmm... maybe try with fire already there? When I first started LDing I had already used fire in dreams lots due to dream incubation, but you should focus on getting lucid. Or you could try summoning Zuko or uncle Iro to teach you how to bend.

      That's a very good idea! Especially considering I'm just a beginner :/

      thanks. That sounds a little sarcastic though. Probably not though. If I focus too much on goals I will start losing consistency, if I don't focus on goals enough, I will lose motivation. It is a balance.



      Also, you normally master a goal in a lucid, you don't have trouble doing it in a lucid again, so it is really no issue waiting on a few things since you are going to be sleeping for the rest of your known life.

      Haha no not at all! I'm probably a bit over excited and trying to bits off more than I can chew!

      I've managed flying (sort of) twice, the second time was easier so maybe I'll just stick to mastering that for the time being.

      I'll definitely be revisiting this thread in the future though!

      honestly, learn as much as you can learn without getting stressed by it, and only choose what you can do without being stressed. This is my guide for recall and lucid techniques and narrowing down as well as perfecting them so that you can get better. Stress is the anti-LDer.

      Now that I'm back trying to lucid dream again, I figured I'd update this as it's really my main dream goal.

      I've only only have 2 more LD's since posting this (life got in the way). Anyway, my fire bending got a little better. In one of the dreams I tried again with a thrust out arm and tried to channel energy. I looked at my palm and noticed that it looked like cracked rock with lava glowing beneath. After I saw this I manage to kind of spew fire from my palm. It wasn't normal fire though, it was more of a flaming liquid like napalm, that I could change in flow rates.

      I've also managed to bend electricity. To do this I point with a straight arm and extended index finger, channel focus and energy and eventually my finger tip sort of had a blue aura before a really thin, smooth thread of electricity slowly streams out and contacts someone. Despite it sounding quite tame the electricity has really messed with people I've shot it at imagine luke skywalker being shocked myths emperor, but with a gentle, single thread of electricity.

      Try summoning the characters from the show and asking them to teach you.

      Hey, time for an update after ages of absence and no LD's (until last night)

      So last night I became lucid and went straight for the bending! Lightning bending seems to be getting better/ stronger. I can now shot a heap of streams for most of my fingers, I shocked some figure that had been giving me hell during sleep paralysis/false awakenings, it's more like full sith lightening now!

      Tried fire bending again, still suck at it, from memory I couldn't even muster the napalm stuff I've managed before!

      For the first time I tried water bending... And I was pretty damn good! It's my favourite bending style and I pretty much started off like Aang. I was at a pool of water, at first I held my arms out and focussed on trying to make it shiver and vibrate, I got the whole pool doing it. Then I did what Aang and Katara did with gently trying to push and pull the water, finally I used my two hands to pull up a couple of large streams of water to use as water whips!!!! All in all for my first time at a bending style it was the most successful!

      Also handy against DC's!

      I also found waterbending much easier to do than firebending. Probably due to moving something that there is already, instead of creating something out of thin air.

      Haven't tried being the avatar yet! I'm working my way there by learning all the elements!

      I've never tried to summon anyone, it's a bit out of my league at the moment, I've only started actively try to LD again recently after an extended lazy period. So I've got to get my dream recall back again baby steps.

      I've done some fire bending before. I can't seem to do any of the others. I started off with fireballs. All I did was sort of punch the air and feel energy course through my fist and a large ball of fire shot out. If you ask me, I would say fire bending is all about the feel of energy since it is the only tangible thing that you have to work with.

      I felt the coolness of water the weight of earth(as you said the energy) and heat of fire and the flow of air

      My current LD goal is to do element bending. I started the other night on waterbending and managed to stop a tsunami by turning it into ice. I want to try air bending next, then earth and fire.

      Like shadowwolf6tail said you have to feel it, like it is an extension of your body. Visualising helps too.

      There's a tutorial on waterbending here: http://www.dreamviews.com/dream-cont...advantage.html

      I definitely would agree with those saying summon a character to teach you. I have never really summoned a DC but in one dream Bumi practiced earthbending with me and I got a lot better at it. If all else fails you could go back and listen to the tips Iroh gives Zuko in the actual show, or you could study whatever martial art it's based off of.

      What I like to do when trying to shoot fire or do a kamehameha wave is really try to feel the energy flowing into your hands. Then don't think about what you're going to do but KNOW what you're going to do, and then thrust your arms forward.
      Dont think 'I'm going to try to shoot fire.' but think 'I'm going to shoot fire.' . As long as you are sure that you can do it, you can. It might sound a little weird but I have found that this works great for me. This also applies to other stuff like flying and summoning people.

      Maybe you are not a Fire bender and might have an easier time with another element. I for example are adept with Telekinesis so when ever im in a dream my RC is the use of telekinesis and it works everytime. If i somehow wake up i can return with a wild technique easily
