I'd thought I'd make a tutorial on 'powers' or 'effects' you can do in your dreams. So here it is.

------------------------------------------------------------------

When in a Lucid Dream you need to remember you have complete control (you should anyway). So most people want to use magic powers like making a ball float, setting things on fire, etc. But, you have some that complain that they wake up when trying to do these things. It's probably because you 1. focus to much 2. don't know what the effect should look like, or 3. you aren't an experienced lucid dreamer.
Anyway, here are some tips on using powers.


Making things appear.
This power is one of the easiest things to do, and could (if you would like) be used as a reality check. To do this just simply think to yourself for example "ball" and if needed repeat over and over again, without focusing too much on it, and it should appear. To make things disappear do the exact opposite.

Making objects float.
I don't do this much because I have never found the need to. But the way I do it is toss the object in the air and think "levitate" and that usually makes it float for me.

Flying.
This is one of my favorite things to do because, in my opinion, it's a great experience. But anyway, there are many techniques on how people do this. But the way I do it is the easiest for me. [You may have to try different techniques to figure out which is best for you, or just create your own]
What I do is first think to myself, "I'm going to fly". Then right after I process that thought I take off running as fast as possible, and right before I feel myself starting to slow down, I jump. Right after the jump I stick my arms straight out like Superman until I'm high enough off the ground, then I put my arms in a comfortable position. To land I position my body in the stand up position, and usually I start falling right before I hit the ground I crouch down and take the impact. [This usually makes a gaping whole in the ground, but it's not hard to get out of]

Producing Lightning.
I get a lot of complaints on this from friends. They say every time they attempt producing lightning they wake up. It's because for some reason the say it takes a lot of focus. But I don't find that to be true.
The technique I use is probably a little different from some, because I don't start off thinking lightning. I treat it as if it is a real super power.
First thing I do is focusing on the blood running through my body (dream & real body) and I focus on all of the heat around me. I then focus on the blood rushing to my finger tips and I start to feel them heat up, slowly they start to spark, then I point at something and ZAP, the lightning just shoots out. That's all I could really explain so it would make sense. But I really recommend trying it.


More will be added to this if people would like. But for now this is all.
(Note the is mostly for beginners & people who are having trouble with these things)
