Thread: So what powers have you attained?

None...

IMJ

Well I can do many things, but nothing works always for me.
Things I have done so far:

- Levitate/fly
- Cast a fire/ice spell
- Walk trough walls
- Teleport (the dream gets very irreal, then I usually get teleported back, or the dream ends)
- Make a second body for myself to go with
- Control a DC's speech

... That's it for now. I am working on total dream control. I hope I can achieve it somewhere in the near future.

Is super attractive to girls that like 4 girls want my penis at the same time a power?

i got that one last night. lol

Ive had a little bit of success flying, but i havent tried recently

I had some telekinesis powers and hypnosis/controlling powers last night too

cant think of anything else

oh, ive turned night into day and like 4x running speed

So far I'm only good at two lucid powers; flying and phasing through objects.

I've only had a few lucid dreams, but I've been able to fly (abit), I've manipulated the clouds and make a tornado

A lot of the stuff you can do in City of Heroes/Villains I can do pretty easily, as long as I've used a character with those powers for a decent amount of time. Some of the things I've just about mastered thanks to that game:

- Hover
- Fly (They have different speeds and animations, that's the only way I have to control my flight speed.)
- Super Speed
- Super Jump
- Pull a Katana out of nowhere
- Summon and control Ninjas with a simple raise of my hand
- Invisibility/Hide
- Short Range TP

Theoretically, I can do anything else from the game using the same method I use for each of those. It's as a simple as a click of a button, more or less.

Some things I've developed on my own:

- Make Raptors appear (I still fail at controlling the damn things)
- Shoot Blue Lightning from mah hands
- All things TK (I have this in Non-LDs too sometimes)
- Pass through glass
- Change the shape and size of an object

Well so far:

Floating
Flying
Breathing underwater (dream sign)

Of all the things I have managed to do, the one thing I can't, is shot web.

Seriously though, I haven't had an LD in a loooong while, but the one time I did, I was dreaming I was flying when I realized it was a dream, so I just continued on flying.

well, I haven't had any LDs where i have "powers" But in a dream i ran REALLY fast

You know what, just getting lucid is a task.

so far ive only managed to fly. never really thought to try anything new.

right now i'm working on puppeting my dream characters.

Transforming a couple of ugly 'artful dodger' type dream characters into stunning twins
Floating ( now I find it hard to stay on the ground)
Manipulating a dream shop assistant by suggesting that the things I want are hidden under the counter. The assistant looks and surprise! They are there

one night a couple weeks ago, I messed around with gravity and made everyone float in the air. I fly a lot, i can shape-shift into stuff, pull things out of screens... thats all I can think of at the moment...

if my memory serves me correctly:

flying
phasing through objects
materializing objects in my hand
morphing people into other people (this one was particularly fun lol)

So far, as far as Super Powers go:

Flying (Second Nature for me in dreams it seems)
Telekinesis
Incredible Speed (this was my newest ability)
Spider-Man Style Web-shooting
"Scene-Whiping" - I wave my hand in front of an object in the distance so that its obscured from view, and when I move my hand away, the object is essentially "whiped" out of the scene.

Thats about it really. I haven't had too many Lucids lately, so I haven't gotten to experiment to a large degree.

I recently bought a game called Prototype, where your character can change their arms into claws or swords. That's something I want to try next time I attain lucidity.

Pegorian! I just did this last night/this morning. I was able to transform to the whipfist technique, and do the tendril devastator attack. I also tried consumming someone but I don't recall doing it, although I might have because I remember "gaining mass" at one point

Does it have to be in lucid dreaming? The skills I first developed in high level lucid dreams and by practicing visuals while awake I make most use of in low level lucids and normal dreams. All the powers I'm about to list have been used in a high level lucid unless otherwise noted:

Floating: I don't walk in dreams, but float (semi-horizontally) above the ground. I think this stems from the fact that I'm aware I'm lying down sleeping. My brother (who regularly flies in dreams but does not have lucids) and I joke around and tell others "Flight comes from the sternum". We also tell people to work out their sternum if they want to fly.

Flying: I fly like a bird or airplane, but only rarely. I prefer to use the next method on this list.

Zooming: I call this zooming because it works like the zoom function on a camera. Last night my dream started with me looking out the third story window next to my bed, and looking down on a small house at the end of our yard (does not exist IRL). As my mental focus zoomed in on that house to the point where I was viewing it from an angle several feet away, my avatar was therefore at that point and I could then walk around on the ground. I use this technique whenever I go into space: Look at the grass at your feet, then imagine looking down on that same grass from a third story window, then from an airplane, then from a satellite, then from a point on the moon, and keep zooming out. This method works very well if you familiarize yourself with these images while you're awake. I havn't tried it, but zooming out on Google Earth might help, too.

Morphing objects (non-living): Changing the size, shape, or other characteristics of a non-animal object. This is another one which practice during the day can help with. Imagine that you're viewing an object (a table, or something), then hold out your hands (both your real hands and your imaginary hands) and make some movement which makes sense to you, and imagine the object changing. This works for rotation, telekinesis, scaling an object, warping it, and molding it into other shapes. Work with it like clay.

Creation of objects (hammer space): I'm not very good at this, and I can't consistently perform it. When I do, it often has a negative influence on the dream world (destabilization). I much prefer to take a small object from the dreamscape, such as a pebble, and then warp it into the desired shape and scale it to size, but this can prove difficult, too. A more reliable (for me) method is described below.

Wiping: Thanks to whoever called it this in the posts above. I had always just thought of these as field of view tricks. Use your hand, a corner wall, or another part of the dream world to obscure your line of view where you want the object or person to appear (or disappear). Change your view back (remove your hand, move back into view, whatever) and the object or person may be there. Like everything else, this depends entirely on your natural belief that it will in fact be there, what other people here have described as 'confidence'.

Limited knowledge of body: Sometimes I'm aware of the workings of my real body. Most often this is related to the "sternum" floating I mentioned above. Often I'm aware of my breathing, and sometimes I've used slower breathing as a stabilization technique. The first completely lucid experience I can remember was when I was around 8 or 10. I was having a nightmare and trying to run (with typical results); I suddenly realized that I could just open my real eyes and wake up.
Superhero, video game moves, and magic: When I was younger I did these things sometimes. I believe your powers in dreams are based around your image of yourself. These arn't things I see myself doing, so I'd generally skip doing a hadouken and just wipe a person from view.

Change of viewpoint: I can't remember a time in a lucid dream where I "took over" a dream character. When my dreams become lucid, though, I often "drop out" of my character avatar (perhaps an actor in a movie, like Harrison Ford from The Fugitive earlier this month). Sometimes my view settles into what I call my "avatar", sometimes I just float in the "director's" position. In my Fugitive dream I became lucid as I realized there was no way to escape Tommy Lee Jones. My solution? Tear open the space a sky scaper occupied, in what I can only describe as a tesseract, and let Harrison Ford escape into it. My viewpoint was left behind to close up the rift, after which I was left lucid and "disembodied".

That's all I can think of at the moment. I may update this should I remember anything else.

I've mastered a new power, i turned into a shadow and none of my dcs could see me, it was a camaflage (However you spell it) type of shadow and i was moving along the floor. All i did to turn into the shadow was imagine that i was a shadow and i also knew that i could turn into one.

^You've also just mastered a new power in waking life:

NECRO-POSTING!

Holy crap, I saw this thread and thought, when did I subscribe to this thread? Only to realize that I had subsriced to it... Last year.

Bringing Things back to life is always handy

wow some of you are on a whole other level lol.

Mine are
Materialization - (can create any object at will - hard to change whole senery it just distorts )
Flight - (Nearly always have this)
Change weather - (mood)
Pop up menu - (only had this one once so far, like a in-game debug menu)
Energy Blasts - (DBZ style)

had them at seperate times, I only ever attain lucidity at the end of dreams. No were near as good as half of you lol, mine dreams are on par with reality so none of the checks work, everything is the same. Only thing different is I piss forever in a dream.

Or how about the power ...TO MOVE YOU?

Flying, casting fire, going through things, making people appear

I really need to learn how to make my lucids more vivid. So I can think properly.

I had my first LD where I actually decided to try powers last night...completely by accident.

I created a porsche.
Flew it around.
Flew around myself.
Surfed a sand wave.
Ran around really really fast.
