Hey DV,
My dreams are so dang boring! They lack that sense of adventure I'm seeking, and really extreme adventure is the only reason I want to LD (I can even imagine having a sort of 'continuous LD', in which the plot kinda carries over from dream to dream)
A Repetitive Dream Scene
My lucids never fail to occur in, or around, my house. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, because I could just change to dream scene. However, I can't seem to change, the dream scene; it's almost like I'm trapped in this area of my dreams. Here are the things I've tried.
Teleportation - I closed my eyes while visualizing where I wanted to appear when I opened my eyes. However, this has only resulted in the dream ending, or no change of the dream environment at all.
Walking Through a Mirror - I attempted to walk through a mirror, with the intent to treat it as a portal. The mirror definitely wasn't solid, it was more like a light gel. I walked through it, but I came out in my front yard.
Spinning - All spinning does is destabilize or end the dream, it never has resulted in a change of the dream scene.
Imagining a Dream Scene Prior to Sleeping - Never has worked, even when I try to WILD (I always end up in my bed).
Flying - I attempted to fly to outer space, but once I get so high, it's like I hit a barrier and the dream ends. Or, if I want to fly with the intent of going into space, I lose the ability to fly altogether.
Hyu's Portal Method - I learned this method from reading Hyu's DJ, and it has been the closest to working. Last night, I drew a circle in the air, and visualized the destination. I could actually see my destination manifest in the portal, exactly how I thought of it. When walking through, it appeared promising. I looked back and saw what I can only describe as being a space filled with colors and geometric patterns. Confident I had finally left my house, I turned around and proceeded to walk through the portal, only to find my house as the final destination.
I struggle with most other dream control aspects, such as controlling elements or doing anything complicated, but I will be happy so long as I leave my house area in a LD. If I can't escape this area in a LD, there is no point in attempting to LD, as I have no motivation to enter a lucid dream and not being able to embark on an adventure at least from time to time.
Any Suggestions?
