Sometime simply summoning things or teleporting is hard, so you hail a cab or open doors to make things easier in a dream. Recently I needed my laptop in an LD but couldn't summon it so I phoned a friend and said "Can you get me my laptop in 3 seconds?" And far out, he enters the room with my laptop 3 seconds later. I waste a lot of valuable dream time with this assisted control acquiring objects or going places and am in need of better shortcuts instead of the weird stuff I come up with in my dreams. Anyone know any other quick techniques to get or do stuff without having to concentrate too hard?
