Thread: Control: ways of achieving your goal.

Yea I agree. It's definitely much easier to change something you already have then to create something new completely out of thin air.

For example. I summoned things before that are really distorted compared to what I wanted. I changed current objects I already have into what I wanted with a much higher success and much less error rate.

I shouldnt even say it anymore but how about not being so focused on all the damn control..yes right, this is the last time Im ever going to say it

Some times you just can't do something. Which is why its nice to have more than one way. Can't summon, go looking. Infact its normally a lot easier to do it the normal way.

different activities have ,shall we say, different price tags on them in as much as they drain your energy to different degrees ,and energy is one thing youre gonna need to stay lucid( the other thing being technique)...

which probably explains why certain things can be easy for some dreamers to do and practically impossible for others ie; we all have different amounts of energy at our disposal...

the question remains, does teleporting down the stairs use more or less energy than walking down them?

the energy needed to dream well can be acquired by not using too much unnecessarily in waking life ie; in wayward emotions, or excessive worrying etc which is probably why the buddhists are so good at it!

last question; isnt the goal of lucid dreaming to enter lucid deep dreamless sleep where the conscious experience of a deeply peaceful state would drastically improve your ability to interact functionally and happily in the waking side of reality!!

You see, humanity is unaware of ways in which to control others, or achieve goals with their brain.
We are used to guns, knives, rockets, etc. killing people, not shear brain power. Now, we see it in movies, but no one has ever done it, at least that we know of.

So it would take LOTS and LOTS of practice, because i find that in my lucid dreams its hard to summon things, it takes alot of concentration, and will power, both physically and mentally. I've mastered flying, thats not a big deal anymore, because its FAMILIAR to me. Making people have sex with me is not.

jags,

I think you are on to something, but let me put this out on the table.

In reality, it takes the same amount of effort to do anything in your LD. Something a simple as talking to someone, or as difficult as creating a world.

I think that what takes so much energy is trying to convince your mind that what you are attempting is possible.

Think about it. You know you can talk to someone, so there is little effort and energy used to do that.

You think it is difficult to create a world, and therefore expend a lot of energy convincing yourself that you can.
