      How do i Dream Spin?! (as a teleportaion technique)

      Can anyone tell me exactly how to dream spin as a means of transport?
      how do you hold your arms out (in front, side to side?)
      do you keep your eyes open, or shut them and visualise the place that you want to be?
      and how many spins?


      ive never really had a problem with stabilization, its transport that i find difficult, ive only tried spinning once and i didnt do it right, i just want some good tips for when i next get the chance, because i want to be able to teleport to an exotic beach and see this girl i know, but im always stuck in the dream scene that i become lucid in and i want to know how to teleport sucessfully any tips ?

      There's a number of ways you can use motion in dreams. I've found a slow spin is best for stabilisation as it's aimed at flooding your dream senses with as much visual information as possible, anchoring your connection with the dream scene. A fast spin is more useful in dream formation, just make sure you visualise your dream scene trying to incorporate as many senses as possible, really 'feel' like you're there (this is what Robert Wagonner calls 'moving through focused intent', your will to arrive at the desired location takes you there more than the technique does). Note that spinning to fast can sometimes lead to false awakenings, any time you use spinning and you think you've woken reality check, it's good practice to reality check every time you wake anyway to catch those crafty FAs

      On the other hand FAs can prove to be useful as they are typically very vivid and life-like, they can be used to almost 'reset' a dream if you don't like where it's going and start over. Fast spinning until the dream scene collapses can be used to induce FAs and I've also found that inducing the falling sensation of hypnic jerks (Hypnic jerk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) will result in a false awakening.

      As for how you go about spinning, you can have your arms flying out like a kid, tucked in like an ice skater, it really doesn't matter, any physical posture that you associate with increased momentum will help. It doesn't really matter how many spins as the dream will always respond to your actions.

      Hope that answers all your questions

      Always, no sometimes think it's me,
      But you know I know when it's a dream
      I think I know I mean a yes
      But it's all wrong
      That is I think I disagree

      Ctharlhie basically covered all, but I have one thing to add.. Try not to close your eyes when dreaming it wakes up most people, I know it wakes me up. As for transpotation with spinning I have only done it once and I spun fast and vividly pictured where I wanted to go and as soon as I stopped spinning... boom I was there... so good luck and keep trying

      In a dream in practical terms there is no difference between what you are seeing and mind's eye visualisation, you will see your visualised scene 'superimposed' over the current scene, as you spin the new scene will start to replace the old one.
