Thread: Risky Teleportation Technique?

Everyone's dream worlds are unique. They are created on your own beliefs, expectations, and other (unknown) particularities.
If something works for you, keep doing it.

Zoth said already everything. you will only wake up if you think you will.

I closed my eyes and said to myself: ""when I`ll open my eyes I will be in this place (and visualized a place in my mind)''. When I had my eyes open it worked, I teleported where I wanted. I heard that if you close your eyes in a Lucid Dream you could wake up...... so it`s risky to use this teleportation technique? I could use just the portals and the doors to get somewhere else too but I rather use my technique.

By the way I want to apologize for my grammar and bad english but I`m from Europe and I`m in a hurry so I have no time to do corrections

That is the same technique i use. Ill close my eyes and imagine with all of my will that i am going to be at the place i imagine. Sometimes i will close my eyes and spin, but i have found this wakes me up occasionally so i float sill.
It seems to be the most comfortable and rewarding method.
Sometimes ill just jump through the ceiling and be at a different place, but its not as a result of imagining a location, it's just random.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys So its not too risky at all, it depends of you.

There could be a risk of destabilization with that technique. Anytime you black out to the void, you have to rebuild from scratch.

You can achieve the same thing without completely turning out the lights. Pick one thing in your dream scene that could exist in the location you want to go, focus all your attention on it so it blots everything else out, then imagine your destination around that point.

Requires a bit of creativity, but it keeps the dream a bit more stable. Makes for smoother transitions too, a jarring transition is what's going to cause instability in the dream.

I believe things that unstabilize us are things that seem like they shouldn't be there in a dream. When you are in a dream flying, you never think "I shouldn't be flying!" When you are in a zombie apocalypse you never think that it is strange. I believe that this is what makes our first few LDs unstable, the thought that it shouldn't be happening, so that stops your dream.

Translated, if you think that "because this is a dream, I might wake up if I close my eyes." You will prolly have trouble, but if you take a will power or creative approach to it, you wont think anything like it. Honestly, willpower seems to make people have stability issues early on, but it is never too early for creativity (like the cusp pointed out). For creativity, what you want has already been achieved. "I want to fly" becomes "I can fly" and if you tag a reason on the end of it, it should help as well. Some people's reasons are "because I am dreaming" I like to use other things like fake memories and dream items to do it.

Don't you wake up if you concentrate on a single point for a few seconds? or is it only expectations?

Nope, second rule of dream control: The more attention you give something, the more related detail it creates.

Expectations and beliefs don't mean shit. It's the underlying code of the archetype you use that is important. For instance, keepsakes and momentos have value because the have additional associations that overpower the mundane every day associations. It's that additional informational structure which defines a concept which ultimately determines the outcome, expectation has no part in that equation.

All nightmares form in the same way. Something dangerous or evil catches your attention. By it's very nature, dangerous things demand more attention, making them stronger. That extra attention makes them even more dangerous, demanding more attention. It's just a vicious spiral.

Best way to defeat something in a dream is to ignore it into oblivion. In order to fight something, you have to focus your attention on it, which makes it stronger. Fighting is antithetical to your goals. You have to approach dream control like Cyclops from the X-men. Tremendous power follows his eyesight, and tremendous power follows your focused attention, which is most commonly focused by visual means.

There's potential to wake up, sure. I think of dream control like surfing, finding that sweet spot between too much attention and not enough. Each one taken to extremes can be detrimental, but it can be useful to ride that current in either direction, as long as you don't lose control and wipe out.


And happy fucking newyears! Please bear in mind it's new year's and this homemade blackberry wine I've been drinking is REALLY strong and really delicious!

Thanx!!!
That is such a reliefe. Now I don't have to worry on focusing my eyesight on a point and wake up

EDIT: Happy new year to you too

I wish I could do this, but their is a problem. If I close my eyes in a dream for more then 2-3 seconds my eyes will lock, when I try to open them they are glued. Then I can't see anything, then after 2-3 more seconds I wake up.

I think as others have said, if you believe that opening your eyes will wake you up, it will. If you don't, and it's working for you, then continue doing it! For me, I usually just walk through portals or loudly command what I want.

I agree that you think that, and maybe sometimes when we give our dream body commands sometimes our physical body reacts. Example: We try to scream or yell in a dream, and our physical body screams and yells. We probably agree that it's possible if we use a blinking technique in dreams, it may make us blink or open our physical eyes, thus waking us up.

Very interesting technique. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. Go ahead and keep doing it with no fear. Expectation/belief is a factor, and so is the fact that you are doing something (with a blink technique) that your physical body may try to respond to.
