How does one Transform in a dream?

[Enigma13]

How would you recommend transforming in a Lucid dream? Can you feel anything when you do it?

[CowMan339]

well, i just kindof visualize it, thik its going to happen, and say out loud that it is going to happen. that usually works.

I like to summon whatever it is I want to transform to and mind control it. It has the same effect as transforming but it is easier.

There this old book series called "The Animorphs" that I read many years ago. In these books the kids had the power to morph into any animal they touched. So basically i imagine that i am one of them and usally the transformation progress goes pretty smooth and fast. Even though the books are for a young audience, they are still very desciptive and vivd when it comes to describing the process of transforming from human to animal making it much easier (at least for me) to "morph".

I spin myself to teleport, but I transform myself as I am teleporting. So when I am in the new place, I have been transformed

Yes! I used to love those, so that's how I should do it. that actually crossed my mind once. Good that should work.

I simply imagine what it would feel like to be that creature/person, and while keeping that in my mind, I alter my body to feel the same way. The animorph idea may work quite well, I'd imagine.

In the past I've transd into a wolf it was realy easy. I was chasing someone and when I felt I was moving to slow i began running on all fours, my body transformed into a wolf and I took off sprinting. It was the most fun I've had in a while.

My favorite way of morphing (I also loved those books, incidentally. Have a huge stack of them somewhere) Is to first get on all fours (depending on the animal) and start moving liek the animal, and then think as if I was already that animal, and the humanness is something I shake out of me like you would shake a cramp out of your hand. The rule of thumb i have alwaysed used is that whenever i am doing something difficult in an LD, I try to do it in the manner of something my brain can already relate to. I'm not sure if that sentence does a good job of saying what I'm trying to say, but it's rather important. If I ask myself to do something without having some idea of how I'm going to do it, it will usually break the frame of reference. By now, turning into an animal ( or any object, for that matter) isn't that hard at all. I remember one time i tunred into Gizmo Duck! That was fun! For those who don't know, he is a cartoon anthropomorphic duck from the "Dark Wing Duck" series, and he had a sort of motorized unicycle for legs. Gizmo Duck is wicked cool.

I remember animorphs now, I think that would work for me, my question is if you were to turn into a spider or something similar how would your mind react to and control the new limbs?

[RCLefty]

That depends upon your ability to imagine yourself with eight limbs. It may be that you will not feel eight limbs, and only control your locomotion in a go-this-way-stop-go-that-way kind of situation, or it may be that you have full sensory interaction and articulation of eight distinct, segmented legs. It's all in the mind.

One thing you may want to do, is find a mirrior.Since you know what mirriors do (show your reflection), you can use that to your advantage. First, say you want to transform into an animal... all you have to do is find a mirrior, get on your hands and feet, and look into the mirrior, and imagine what your are seeing is your reflection, and change that reflection to what you want to change into. Once you've managed to change the form being reflected in the mirrior, move one of your limbs and see if the image in the mirrior corresponds with your movement.If it has, then try to look at yourself and see if you look like what your reflection in the mirrior does. This method for transforming may work better when trying to change into another person rather than into an Animal, but it should work both ways.

Well, since dreaming has A LOT to do with your own expectations I imagine that it would feel exactly the way you think it should feel. I think I understand how to do it now.
