Worldbuilding

**Hecksithia** · 03-19-2011 02:45 AM

I am an aspiring writer who loves to worldbuild. Anyone else here have a second "Earth" they go to when they gain control or are WILDing? I had breakfast the other morning in a castle on top of a tower that was facing the sunrise. I was eating fruit that I had created, along with some of the deliacies of the area. They tasted delicious. One of my greatest achievements, I think anyway, in a dreamscape.

I have an entire universe I go to when I dream.

I have not yet gotten to that point yet. Maybe someday.

Do you have to keep consciously trying to create the world every time you enter your dreams? Or does it get significantly easier over time. Like to the point where you don't have to keep thinking about what's in your surroundings?

In my first LD things changed if I turned around and looked back.

How cool.

I work more on the details of an area, so I have a small planet about the third of the size of earth. The taste of things, the culture of the people, the way the buildings are. And I no longer have trouble with the edges fading, I have never had things simply change when I turn away from them, mostly because I don't see the dreamscape primarily with my eyes. I see the dreamscape through auras so I does not matter where I am looking as long as I dont lose the aura.

I started dreamscape building with simple things like taking an apple out of my pocket when I became lucid in a dream. Or, I had a reoccuring dream when I was first learning how to control the dreamscape in lucids not WILD where I was in the library with a bunch of empty books. I tell you I am now very good at conjuring quills that write with bleeding from an artery type red ink.

At any rate, it is a form of modeling. You model starting from objects in reality. I model starting with objects of the mind.

Sorry I just wok up, can I have Examples?

**Philosopher8659** · 03-19-2011 04:03 PM

Sure, Language and Experience. Internet Archive.

**Hecksithia** · 03-19-2011 04:04 PM

Meaning the difference between an apple and an idea? I personaly do not believe in originality, everything is simply a mashup of something/s else.

Language and Experience : John J. Clark : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive

I do not have a sound system for my computer.

**Philosopher8659** · 03-19-2011 04:16 PM

download the pdf. same page. The audio books are for those who have no time to read.

**Hecksithia** · 03-19-2011 04:18 PM

Ah, I see any particular passage?

**Philosopher8659** · 03-19-2011 04:32 PM

No, there is an idea there as a whole. That is just a practice piece.

**Hukif** · 03-19-2011 04:37 PM

Wait, your planet is based off of earth? Why not do it based on your own dreams? After all, you are in the world of the mind, and if you make everything based on that, then it will be easier to progress/learn/experiment/etc. Or so I think, anyway.

Also, you build based on ideas too, right philosopher?

**Philosopher8659** · 03-19-2011 04:39 PM

The first principles of ideas. The elements.

**Hukif** · 03-19-2011 04:40 PM

Ok, thanks. Hopefully more people start building their worlds based on that.

**Hecksithia** · 03-19-2011 04:42 PM

It is not based off of earth any more than usual. I have completely different species of fruit, vegetables, plants, animals, humanoids. It started as a planet for a story I was writing so the physics are the same. That doesn't matter so much, I tend not to obey the physics of where ever I am just because it is easier and more fun. And as for making things easier to control, I generally have no problems taking control of the dreamscape and going to my own places, creating my own places. I create what I wish to.

**Hukif** · 03-19-2011 04:46 PM

No, not making anything easier to control, but to learn through your dreams. Like... studying for a test, or practicing an skill or knowledge you have from the waking world in the dreaming one.

"For it is impossible for any one to believe the same thing to be and not to
be,"

To believe X is nothing and something both ideas completely coexisting within the same mind in absolute sincerity; this is impossible?

The dreamworld is to be the sharpest sword but naught but a pen without changing what is.

**Hukif** · 03-19-2011 04:50 PM

Um, was that directed at me? Because I sure didn't post anything related to something being and not being <.<

**Hecksithia** · 03-19-2011 04:55 PM

I used my dreamscape to teach the Creatress' daughter how to speak spanish. The problem is that I believe at the core of it, you can only learn more about yourself and what you think of things within the dreamscape of your own head. Also, the problem of I cannot dissect gravity because it does not follow physical reality's rules.

Until you study Language and Experience, I should not let you lead me on. You use the idea too simply.
