I've always struggled with summoning DCs but had success last night by taking an entirely different approach. I've been wanting to try this for a while but was waiting for a decent LD to do it. |

I'm still struggling with summoning people, but there's one technique that's worked twice for me already (however, once it also failed to work, but two out of three is pretty good). |

I find it extremely difficult to summon dcs too. There was this particular dc which I really wanted to summon (in my case it's from real life), and every time I tried, I failed. Whenever I try to, it takes too much concentration and wakes me up. It has happened so many times, that I stopped trying in order to save my lucids. In my experience, I never even see dcs unless they were already there, before I became lucid |

Have you asked another DC to tell you where is it? Or perhaps you should command a DC to turn into the one that you're looking for, it worked a couple of times for me, I wanted someone to appear behind a door and it was another person, then I commanded it to turn into who I was looking for and after some sparkling, it turned into this person. |

The simply doing nothing actually worked for me, started a thread like this a while ago (all the way to call DCs), here are the tips I received from paigeyemps: |

Yeah! I know what you mean, I thought that once when I was starting to induce my lucids. Now I think they're just DCs at the end. And what about if your DC is hiding in the shape of another one like some sort of wizard or so? |

For now I'm trying to summon her via portal in the ground, I'll use my magic telekinetic powers, apparently my brain thinks it can do magic as long as I try hard enough, to the hell with physics. |

Being late to post this, youve probably already heard the same thing, but anyways, its all about how much you believe. Once you realize that you are dreaming and that you CAN do anything and everything and you fully understand that, all the logic and other stuff leaves and your brain will accept it and then whatever character you want to summon will appear. Its all about how much you believe. Just KNOW that you CAN and always have the ability to do whatever you want and focus on summoning whoever or whatever. Its all about belief, because it is your mind. |

I agree with Oneupboy. I just remind myself that is my dream, and if I want to see someone (anyone), then I can. I keep saying 'I will see [insert name here]' and visualizing them until they turn up. |

Well actually I disagree with you, blacklight. I have been lucid dreaming since I was a teen, so about 20 years. That is how I do it, so obviously it works for some people. |
|
You may find Dream Narration useful (I think that's the name of the technique, I could be wrong). |

That may very well be possible, but we'll have to do some experimenting to find out if it can be done |

It's about expecting, not wanting, when it comes to lucid dreams. |
|
I just wanted to take this opportunity to complain after reading my dream notes from this morning. Long story short, at the end of this one dream [non lucid] I was going to call a friend to come meet me. I was walking through a house and opened up this ancient looking flip phone and I assume I found his number. I was just about to hit send when I walked around a corner and looked up, he was standing right there in front of me. Why can't it be that easy in LD? lol |
|
Lately I've been having some fun with attempting to go to them, rather than summoning them to me. I've had some mixed results with it, it usually either works or it wakes me up |
|
A couple of nights ago I tried this dream narration method (technique?) of dream control, putting emphasis in saying what was going to happen just in past tense as it already had happened and it worked wonders to summon a particular DC which was one of the hardest for me to find immerse in a particular situation. Usually I used to say it in both present and future tense and it didn't work that well. I'm wondering if it has something to deal the fact that saying it in past tense is a way to strengthen the conviction that it will work. I don't know. |

To make it easier for you; you need to expect it. As i said earlier. It is possible to expect it to happen right in front of you, but i've heard it's a lot harder for most. |

On my first WILD, I'd decided to call my Greeny. A supposedly green glowing fairy that is supposed to help me lucid. At first, I put up the desire to see her. Nothing happened. Then after that I really shouted in the dream world, asking for her. Then she came. A little different though. A green glowing phoenix. Lols. |

^This. The exact moment I consciously (and subconsciously) realized that the dreamworld is mine and comes from me and therefore I can do whatever I want in it and to it, my dream control went from exceptionally low to practically near mastery. The same might not go for everyone, but you should see quite a bit of improvement. Realize that the dreamworld is yours and believe that you can do it, because you absolutely most certainly can. Once your subconscious realizes too that you're in control, it'll oblige to whatever you want to do. From there you should be able to summon a DC easily however you want, and as an added bonus, you should see improvement in other areas involving dream control (and perhaps even awareness and self-awareness) as well. |
