Insane...

Ahhh. Very nice. I suppose some waking life practice could be helpful here. Interesting. Thank you.

I got the door trick down within my first lucid so it may just be "my" technique, but what I do is visualize the entire scene not only with my eyes but with my other senses too. To get to the rain forest I used memories of it, since I had been there before, and then imagined myself walking outside into it envisioning what it looked like, smelled like, how hot and humid it was, and any sounds (though sounds weren't very vivid in that dream). It's a lot like ADA or SAT, where you focus on all your senses for a short period of time, but you're doing it for a couple seconds and in a place you want to go instead of where you are. It's both expectation and visualization. If you don't expect it to be there, it won't. If you don't picture it well enough, it will be either lacking or not where you want it to go.

Great location switching! This is something I've been trying to master. I am making little sloooow progress. I find myself lucid in a dream version of my house the majority of time so and I end up spending way too much time and energy trying to escape.

How long did it take for you get the door trick to work? What are the thought processes? Is it like expectation or is it more like having good visualization skills? I've tried to ask this question of people before and the response I get is like, "oh just spin or open a door and picture where you want to be." That's great but there has to be more of a thought process going on. Am I missing something?

lol "lick walls to stay lucid" x')

Most awesome dream I ever read on Dreamviews! Hope I can get such lucid adventures soon too :)

btw maybe you lost your head/got pissed off because it was a dream, I mean I once read that something about that the part of your brain which is responsible for emotions and that stuff can be very active through REM phases etc. I don't recall it exactly but the main point of it was that your emotions can sometimes happen to be alot stronger in dreams than in waking life and/or even appear strange to yourself after waking up.

Congratulations on breaking the dry spell! Sounds like it was an awesome dream.

Dude! Another sweet one? You're tearing through these. I've gotta up my game.

Cool dream!
So long :O

Hah, awesome dream!!!
Hoping to complete TotY myself, or atleast some parts of it.
Well done!

Haha, awesome dream.

Have you seen the movie "Sleeper"?

Loved the post it was funny.

Lol, I'm glad the reflection is scared of you, and you're not scared of it! Congrats on a lucid!

I didn't think that they meant it like that

Those slippers are supposed to get you home, they worked too well!

Hey that picture of the store you posted looked very smiliar to Johnny Rocket's. Nice dream it reminded me of one of my paintball related dreams.

Hmm, I just might have to check that out. I've been looking for a book about dreaming in general, not just LDing.

That made me crack up. XD You only had to go to the exit before you turned around. And the Peanut Butter Easter Egg topping. Mmm, I've had that before on vanilla ice cream. Now I really want some peanut butter ice cream. Or a sundae. *drool*

I'm reading this book from the library called 'Our Dreaming Mind' (by Robert L. Van De Castle) that's super fascinating. It talks about a bunch of dream topics, including precognitive dreams. It has a section on lucid dreaming at the end as well.

Yea, another one is i had a dream where my band teacher told me that, when i go back in time, to throw him a birthday party. Turns out his birthday was 3 days after i had the dream...

Hm...that's spooky how you got peanut butter ice cream that day after the dream. I've had stuff like that happen before.
