Thread: About The Place

Have you tried closing your eyes and spinning on the spot? This not only focuses the dream but (apparently, i don't personally know) also allows you to change anything if you concentrate on it while your eyes are closed.

Well i've tried closing my eyes and trying to focus and i think i have achieved focusing. I didn't spin though. Nevertheless im %100 sure i was concentrated.

Any other suggestions?

First, think of the place you want to go. Like mentioned before, close your eyes and spin, while concentrating on the place you plan to teleport to-tell yourself that when you open your eyes you will be in that place. Works for me. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply monika I'll try that if i get a LD soon.

Any other suggestions Dreamers?

How about,
have you got anything in your room like a wardrobe or something.
Something you could fit into easily.
Pretend it's magic.
Pretend it can magicaly teleport when you want it to.
Maybe even keep something like a button there in real life, imagine that button makes the wardrobe or whatever you're using teleport somewhere.
Don't press the button in real life though, when it doesn't work, it will make it less likely to work in your dreams.
I suggest you try the previously mentioned technique first though.

That's is a really creative idea! I'm so going to try it! Thanks!

I've had the exact same problem, it's alright the first time but then (because of my poor dream control) I might as well just be awake. I finally managed to get out of this last night though. I was in my bedroom again but then the dream started destabilizing. I went with it and eventually got into a white void. Once I was there I managed to slip into a different setting. I don't know how well this works for others but maybe you could let it destabilize a bit then try imagining somewhere else? I'd be interested to know if it worked for anyone else.

Why you just don't go out and explore? I would do that in stead of trying to get somewhere in particular first. That definitively will change the place. It's awesome the stuff my mind sets once I go beyond my real life boundaries.
Once you're out and more stabilized, you'll have more chances for setting some situation (passive control) to get to the place you want to go. That's what I do.
Of course, if you expect everything is the same, then everything will be the same, including those stairs you never saw in real life...

I have had this very same problem everytime I acquired a LD through some other method than DILD or MILD but what I did recently while in a LD was call up my Dream Guide (I just shouted for him and he appeared) and he showed me how to go anywhere. He said all you have to do is imagine the place you want to go then turn around and it worked.

I don't have a dream guide But i'll try that "turn around" thing. Thanks!

According to the story, there's a train station behind a wall or some... it's not big deal to walk through walls if you want! may be you could feel Hogwarts is right after a wall, a door, a corner or just turning around. And finally, whatever you do, feel it will be an adventure anyway.
Good luck!

If you want to actually search for Hogwarts, then you have to find a train station in town or at least pretend there is one. At the train station, go through one of stone walls between platforms 9 and 10. You will then be at the hidden platform 9 3/4. Just ride the Hogwarts Express and ask Hagred to give you a boat ride to the castle.

That would probly be hard to remember and take a lot of time though, so one of those teleporting methods should work. My method of teleportation is to create a portal/rift in front of me and jumping into it while saying and thinking the place I want to go. Try not to be vague with the portal though or it can have bad results.

Walk out the door imagining where you want to go, go on your computer and search for a location on something like Google Maps, jump out the window screaming the location of wherever it is you want to go, etc.

I'm still waiting to get lucid. Normal dreams are so boring

One method I have for you is this: You said the surroundings in your lucids always end up being your home, correct? So if that's the case, I'm assuming there's a few doors in your house. Look for the door that leads outside of your house. Before opening the door, imagine where you want to go. Believe firmly in your mind that the door leads to whatever place you want to go. Then, when you open the door, hopefully it'll lead to your intended destination. It doesn't work all of the time, but it's one of the more common methods of changing your surroundings.

Just use Floo Powder

I tried to get home using this method and it didn't work. So I turned to my Dad and asked him to take me there instead. Much more effective.

Don't know how many of you have played Portal, but I've found I can get anywhere, from anywhere, by pulling out a portal gun and abusing the second portal placement archetype I've built up after so many hours of gameplay. It's hard to explain the process accurately, as it's so abstract, but the gist of it is you place the portal knowing where the other end is already set up, and the archetype takes care of the rest. All in all, it's basically like using a door, but much more reliable/powerful/easier, for me anyways.

Obviously, this won't work for people who've never played Portal, and it may be difficult for those who don't have a lot of practice manipulating archetypes, but the fundamentals should help you figure out something that'll work more reliably than simply using a door (if doors don't work well for you).

Being a Portal "fan" myself I thought about this... haven't had the chance to try it though I'm glad it does... so now I'll have another tool handy.

What worked for me was to use a door. Just go to any closed door and concentrate really hard on where that door is going to lead you, visualize what (or where) you want to be on the other side. You'll kinda just know when its time to open the door, and with any luck it will work. I used this technique to go from a store in an unknown location, to walking directly into my own house and it was my first time teleporting. The DC who was with me thought I was nuts, because I stood there and stared at the door for like 5 minutes
