Thread: specific contol techniques

I here to just share specific dream control techniques you use in your lucids.

Ideas such as:
Teleportation

Telekenesis

Flying

Clarity

and Environment control.
Any others are appreciated too

shoot lightning out of my fingertips

what i mean is how you do these things like certain people do it a certain way. For instance when i teleport in a dream i crouch, close my eyes, imagine where im going and jump and when i open my eyes im there.

I find flying becomes easier the more you practice.

Initially I would need some technique to propel me. I would use a broomstick or flying car as training wheels.

Now I just fly by intent. If I want to move a certain direction, I just move my mind and my dream body moves accordingly. I just learned how to "breaststroke" in the air to increase speed.

Here are mine:

Teleportation: By thinking about where I want to end up, closing my eyes, and turning around in a circle once. (This has only worked properly twice out of the four times I've tried it. I haven't gotten a chance to try again.)

Summoning objects and telekinesis: By wanting and expecting the object to be there, or something to move.

Well when I become lucid I usually want to create my own environment. So what I do is I close my eyes and think/say, "I want (insert landscape)." Then when I open my eyes it's all there. But there's more to it than just saying it. Add emotion and visualize it before you in the dream, so when you open your eyes you know it will be there. I use the same technique for summoning objects except I say, "Give me (insert object)." And from before you asked about the lighting shooting out of my fingers. What I do for that is I feel an electric pulse down my spine then make that pulse travel through my arm and flick my fingers out and BOOM! a big bolt releases from my fingers. Btw you can make this even more powerful if you just think about how big the bolt is gonna be. It's pretty fun, hope I helped.

I did the exact same thing for teleportation in my last LD. I tried to fly but only got about 2 feet off the ground before falling on my butt which was really weird for me because I used to never have problems flying. In my dream I even said that dreamviews is retarded because they put it in my mind with the power of suggestion that dream control is hard.

When I first started learning telekenisis I had to tell the object what i wanted it to do or just call out to it if i wanted it to come right to me. but eventually i got to where i could do it with only hand gestures and in some dreams pure thought alone.

Well, i fly by finding/summoning NiGHTS from NiGHTS: Journey of dreams and dualizing with him, i can slow down time by yelling "SLOWDOWN!!!!" And i think i can even stop time by yelling stop. i can also jump about 3x as high as normal by just jumping. one time i made the sun set by reaching my hand up towards it then swinging my hand downwards, but it popped right back up. for clarity i have to be thinking clearly or i won't remember to do it but i can do it by simply staring at an object and watching it become sharper and clearer.

I was able to have an effect like slowing down time this morning by whispering speed to myself. The idea was to make myself faster but what it ended up feeling like was the world going slower.

Exactly the advantage of doing so. the world slows down but you remain the same! this allows you to dodge bullets, catch cars, and lotsa other stuff!

I used it to dodge a punch like in the spiderman movie

I'm having trouble with clarity. Tried to open my eyes very wide in my dream last night & ended up waking myself up. If anyone has any advice on how to increase clarity I am very interested to hear it!

Stare at stuff. the objects acually get clearer the more you focus on them. just don't focus so much on one thing that you forget about everything else, or other objects will dissapear and your dream will destabilize.

Thanks for the info.

I think sometimes over-analyzing "how" to do something might actually block you from doing that thing (unless, I suppose, you've tried to "just do it" like Nike & failed). I've flown a few times in my dreams & never had a problem just willing it to happen. When I was young though I recall having dreams in which I levitated, so perhaps I've been in "dream training"?

I just look at the space where I want stuff to appear and after a few seconds it does. This is mainly the technique I have used for now and I have done all my lucid just summoning things when I needed them.
