Thread: Dream Control Types

whatever I want.

I find these labels you give yourself and others, who do basic or advanced dream-control stuff completely misleading to be honest!
You cannot just take words, which are otherwise defined and use them however you wish.

Bionics is the application of principles fo in nature by technology, electronics and engineering.

Velcro is a very famous example of bionics - here biomimicry:
In 1948, the Swiss engineer George de Mestral was cleaning his dog of burrs picked up on a walk when he realized how the hooks of the burrs clung to the fur.

So that is totally off.


Psionics refers to the practice, study, or psychic ability of using the mind to induce paranormal phenomena. Examples of this includes empathy, telepathy, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, electrokinesis and other workings of the outside world through the psyche.

Meaning - it is about supposed real-life paranormal abilities.
Dream-control is not paranormal but perfectly normal for LD - and does not concern the outside world.
But at least this makes a bit of sense - since you mimic said paranormal activities in your dream, like telekinesis.


Well - and demonic is surely not destroying something in an LD - destroying something in an LD is destroying something in an LD.
And killing somebody/something in an LD is killing somebody/something in an LD.
Why do you not say "destructive" - that would make more sense.
I do not see, why this would be any different from what you subsume under psionic/bionic, though - depending on your method.
If you use super-strength - you would call it "bionic", if you use telekinetic fired missiles - in your strange terminology - "psionic".

A demon is a demon - and you surely don´t suppose, you become a demon, when burning a dream-house down, or do you?
That makes almost as clearly no sense at all as "bionic".


Sorry - but check out threads on dream-control and get yourself some better terms!
By the way - part of the definitions are copied from Wikipedia.

I think the OP is trying to focus more on "role-playing" then the actually science of dream control His post seems more in the lines of "what kind of powers you use the most in a lucid dream?"

Still, I agree with StephL and say that I don't think any kind of labeling works for any lucid dreamer's control.

Ah - okay, if that is gaming-lingo - makes it more understandable then..

Sorry, wrong forum.

Psionic- As in psychic abilities. In Pokemon, many Psychic moves have these themes. Psyshock, for example, creates psychic balls of energy to attack others. Bionic draws on natures energy to buff others, like using air to make yourself fly, or using grass to absorb energy.Demonic is just evil. Burning a city to dust and making everybody slave away forever? Torturing others in dreamwalking? Evil.
