This is an updated version and compilation of some other posts I made about five years ago.

Dream Battle Laws and Hypotheses

If you think this is ridiculous, please test out these laws in your lucid dream battles to see if they work or not. I challenge you to disprove these laws through your dreams.

To understand Dream Battling, you must understand the Laws of the Dream Plane. Just as there are physical laws, physics, there are dreamical laws, dreamics.

First some laws of the dream plane:

1) The dream plane is made of pure energy.

2) Thoughts are pure energy.

3) There are different types of beings in dreams: DC's, dreamers, interdimensional beings, non-sentient beings, and semi-sentient beings.

a) DC's: Dream Characters. Manifestations of a dreamer's mind. They will disappear as soon as the dream stops thinking about them.
b) Dreamers: Other dreamers from Earth, the physical plane.
c) Inter-dimensional Beings: Sentient beings not from earth.
d) non-sentient beings: these creatures are alive, yet have the mind of a simple organism such as a clam.
e) semi-sentient: these are creatures that are partially aware of themselves, such as many animals.

4) We all have an Inner World. Our Inner World is an infinite world of our subconscious mind's creation. "My" dream is a dream in my Inner World.

5) The Outer World is the dream plane beyond a meeting of minds. The Outer World is another total plane of existence.

6) Each Dimension is made of three planes: the dream plane, the physical plane, the astral plane.

The Physical Plane
The physical plane is where the physical waking world is. Brainwave frequencies: beta/alpha

The Astral Plane
The astral plane is between the dream plane and the physical. The astral plane is the real of remote viewing and astral projection. In the astral plane, you perceive some of the physical plane, and some of the dream plane simultaneously. Remote viewers are taught to filter out the dream plane, and focus on the physical by keeping their eyes open. Astral projection is more spiritually focused, and intentional AP'ers (which is inducing and out-of-body-experience), will be more aware of the dream plane. People astral project in their sleep all the time. This is also induced through meditation. Brainwave frequencies: alpha/theta

The Dream Plane
The dream plane is a plane of pure energy. Thought appears instantly on the dream plane. Intelligent and creative people can be very powerful on the dream plane no matter what state their physical body is in. Brainwave frequencies: theta/delta

Different types of Battle scenarios:

Dreamer vs. DC's:
If you are fighting your own DC's, you can instantly kill them all, love them all, or ignore them, and they will be instantly defeated. If you are battling another person's DC's, you are indirectly fighting that person, so see the rules of dreamer vs. dreamer, and dreamer vs. sentient being.

Dreamer vs. Dreamer:
- In this scenario archetype, attention, and energy are all key.

Dreamer vs. Inter-dimensional or Sentient Being
- The rules are basically the same for fighting dreamer vs. dreamer, but generally inter-dimensional beings are more aware of the dream plane, especially whether they are in someone else's dream, their dream, a mix of the two, or in the Outer World. They may or may not have a physical body in their home dimension. They may have been living on the dream plane for centuries, or untold millennia, therefore can be extremely powerful.

Archetypes
Archetype means our frame of reference. Here's an example: You are into magic, so you shoot fireballs at an enemy. He becomes a water elemental, and puts out your fireballs. Another person fires a gun instead. The opponent becomes a block of granite. These are examples of a countering defense based on archetype. A good example of this is the wizard vs. witch battle at the end of The Sword in the Stone. Other examples of dream battling: Dragon Ball Z, Avatar, D&D.

- Even if you ignore a dreamer's attack, you will still get attacked, because the other dreamer is sending antagonistic energy toward you which will not disappear just because you ignore the dreamer, since the dreamer is more than a manifestation of your thought.

- There is always a weakness in every attack that can be exploited for a defensive counterattack. The weakness is based on the originator's archetypes. For example: The weakness of fire is water.

Attention
Attention is focusing energy. If you give another dreamer too much attention, they can actually steal your energy.

Example: Tooth moves to attack me in slow motion, with a giant zombie fist. I am fascinated yet disgusted with the detail of the zombie fist. I can see the rotting flesh, and even maggots crawling in it. I want to puke. BAM! He socks me right in the forehead.

So, in the example, I gave so much attention to his fist, it consumed my thoughts for a split second, and he was able to get a hit in. In other words, he stole my energy for a second by stealing my attention.

Energy can be pulled using attention in any way. Using Cuteness, Beauty, Sexiness, Disgustingness, Size, Ugliness, Hilarity, Sympathy, Fear are some techniques to name a few.

Solution: Learn how to be aware of everything. Do not allow any one thing to draw your focus for too long. This can be likened to Perseus using a shield as a mirror so as not to look into the face of Medusa.

A waking life analogy is being too enemy-oriented. In other words, you spend too much of your time and energy thinking about your enemies.


Energy

The entire dream plane is energy. Therefore ignoring another dreamer's attack is not effective. Energy gives us strength and endurance. There are basically two types of attacks, a pull attack, and a push attack. A pull attack is taking the opponent's energy away.

Dreamer vs. Non-sentient beings

Non-sentient beings that will attack you are parasites. The benign non-sentient beings draw energy from the ambient energy. There are also non-sentient beings that draw energy from these, like animals, and so on. These parasites attach to you, or infect your dream body and feed off of your energy.

Dreamer vs. Semi-Sentient Beings

These may be beings evolving toward sentience. They are like many of the animals, such as dogs, which have a level of sentience, but not to the level of elephants, dolphins, or humans. These may be simple minded, but they may have been living on the dream plane for a long time. They may attack in packs or swarms.

Dream Battle Tutorial

1)First you must learn the basics:

a) Flying

b) Breathing underwater, breathing in space

c) Invulnerability

These basics are mastery over your dream body. You must believe and visualize yourself doing these things during your waking life.

2)Battle dream characters.

Get used to what it feels like to fight in a dream. You will learn some method of fighting based on whatever you think is badass. it can be literally anything, from guns to superpowers, to kung fu to magic to becoming a cyborg, or flying a mech, you will do, because that is what you want to do. This will make your dreams badass, which will increase recall.

3)Every time you are afraid, fight the enemy. This will keep you lucid, because you just say to yourself, "This is a dream," and fight impossible enemies.

4) Be open to gifts from other entities. If you don't believe this is possible, you will not receive dream gifts.

5) Be open to learn powers from other entities.

6) Find a shared lucid dreaming partner, and fight with them.

7) Learn from them as you fight.

8) Be creative. The more creative you are, the more you can distract the enemy.

9) Pull focus. Do things slowly, before an attack, for example, charging a weapon for an attack will force the attacker to look at the weapon, making it more real to the person looking at it, thus giving it power.

10) Learn how to ignore. If you don't want to fight a DC, ignore it. When fighting a real person, learn to ignore their charge attacks. Be aware, but do not stare.

11) Be aware that a real person can more easily induce fear. You must learn to tell yourself not to be afraid, for it is a dream.

12) Be aware that a real person can induce pain. In my experience the pain is not physical pain, so you must learn to tell yourself the pain is not real, this is a dream.

13) Be aware of the power of another mind to confuse you. People may do simple things such as ask you nonsense questions, to draw your mental focus into something that doesn't make sense. They may talk in the second person, or the first person as your voice, which is very disorienting.

14) Do whatever attack you think is coolest. This is always the easiest thing to do, because it's easy to visualize. This also increased the badassery of your dreams, which increases dream recall.

15)Ask your Dream Guide to teach you how to fight.

16) Do something new in every dream battle.
