Thread: The Best Way To Summon???

I've summoned things in the way you'd work with 3D modeling programs since it's what I'm used to when creating things.

I basically just first forget completely about my body, then focus my perspective on the area where I want the object to be, and right when I do that the basic object is already created, so all I need to do is just think of the little tweaks I want to make to the object and it just does it automatically.

The only downside to this is that basically all of my attention goes to creating that object, but I never had it where after I finished the object my world would be changed or forgotten.

Btw I use the method for both objects and DC's since they're the same thing, just DC's tend to move around more.

I seem to be terrible at summoning things, this is definitely an area I need to improve in. Just "expecting" something to be there almost never works for me, the method that has worked in the past was just walking around searching until the object I wanted came up, but this often wastes a lot of dream time. =[

I'm going to try remembering that I left something next LD! Thanks for the tip! =]

Also 3D modelling or morphing an existing objects sounds like an interesting idea! Perhaps I could try picking something up and moulding it like clay. Will report back with my experience. =]

This thread just sprang up, might be of interest. Seems quite similar to Dream Yoga techniques to develop flexibility of mind.

I tried many things for summoning people, objects and places. Some ideas I found here, others I have made up by myself. It never works with me when I spin around or pretend there is something behind me, behind these doors etc. But I have had great succes with cool machine I invented in my dream. Its a machine where you type your numbers (doesnt really matter which ones) and it takes you to the place you want to be. But I am having major problems with summoning DCs. I always find myself running around like a chicken, searching for the DC I want to see. Hate that! So will try to work on this more, cause LD like that is a waste.

A friend of mine does all his dream control via "computer menu". He "taps" in the air and a menu system comes up, he selects "summon" or "teleport" or whatever and it always works great for him .

I don't have any experience with summoning personally, however I have heard opening a door and expecting someone to be there works. It could apply walking around corners as well. I guess you can pretend to be a magician and make the DC magically appear.

Sounds alot like Gmod.

I found another way when I was too lazy to summon things exactly as I wanted them, I just think of what I would like to have at the moment, then pull it out of my pockets. Only problem is that you'll need to enlarge it sometimes if it is normally bigger than 2 feet, just simple pocket logic.

When i want to summon something, i usually try the " so and so will be around this corner or through this door," or i get a DC to tell me where they are

What I do is just think about what it feels like when I reach into my pocket. This method only works for small objects, but it works every time for me. I've never tried to summon anything big or people yet.

Woohoo a new DC summoning experience in LD #21 last night. I tried DC "around that bush" -- nothing (I was probably wishing more than expecting). Then I immediately did the hand-behind-the-back summon attempt, and when I brought my hand around I didn't notice anything, but I kept looking and expecting and then the DC *materialized right in front of my eyes*! Amazing. It started as a solid red person-shape, then the red color melted away in multiple little circular pools shrinking down to nothing, leaving the "fully rendered" DC beneath and standing there!

For objects I just reach into a hole or a box or something I can't see inside of and pull out what I want. People is a bit trickier for me, I usually have to call them or send them a text message and wait a little while for them to arrive. Fortunately my contacts list seems to have everyone in the world on it.

I just pull people out of the ground. Asphalt seems to work best for me. I shove my hand in and feel around for the person's hand and pop them out. I don't usually need objects like car keys or anything, because I just work around them. Like I don't need car keys because I just get in whatever car I want and drive. If I do need an object it will be there like I've had it the whole time.

Oh I like that! Will put that into my summoning arsenal....

What works for me is find a space where I want to spawn, a person / object, turn around and think hard of what you want, turn around and it's almost always there!

I tried that one last night (thanks for the inspiration!)

On my returning quest for a particular DC, I decided to simply pull her up out of the ground. With some difficulty I pushed my arm halfway into the soil, grabbed on, and pulled ... And a slightly soiled green neck-tie emerged from the ground.

Tried it several more times after that, but found nothing at all.

Me thinks I need more faith in my own ability here ...

Inspired by this thread, I tried to summon a DC right in front of me today, and it worked! Only he was a CGI cartoon character. He got assembled body part by body part and I could look inside of him during the construction. Very cool. Too bad I wasn't content with him being a GGI guy, because I broke the dream trying to make him human. But it worked, and it never did before, so I'm happy.

That's really cool sivason! I basically use the same method when I want a certain entity/object to appear. That is, if I get an lucid dream... it's a rare occurrence for me lol.

I've always had trouble making things just appear out of nowhere. I usually have to find things inside of something (drawers, doors, boxes, etc) or make a person come through a door or whatever.
I designed dream tools in waking life to try to help make other things happen in my LDs since I'm not yet capable of just causing things to happen simply by wanting them to. I got the idea from an LD I had years ago where I was in the woods and was trying to make vines grow and move out of my way. I wasn't able to just do it, and using my hand/finger wasn't working well, so I picked up a stick and pretended like it was a wand and that worked really well lol.
I'm trying to get to the point where I just always have my tool on me so I don't have to look/ask for it lol. I just had an LD earlier where I asked out loud for my "Lune Key" as I call it and a DC pulled it out of their pocket. =]

I've used a remote control tool I designed before to cause things to happen and people to come through doors. I once used a wand to create a rainbow. I also used the wand to to help me teleport once.

I have been using this method recently and it works like a charm - both for objects and people. Thank you for sharing.

You: "Hey tree, grab my hand"
Tree: "Ok"

XD

Wonderful - huge congratulation!!

I do sort of a brief meditation/ final fantasy summon style. i constantly had dreams of being unarmed in combat and needed to improvise an attack ;p

i think about the object and where i want it to spawn. I close my eyes, look down, exhale, and try to send a warm/ cold feeling throughout my body. I then slowly look up, open my eyes and inhale while envisioning a circle of light rising and sometimes tensing up my muscles if needed. it works for me nearly every time now.

I can't emphasize speaking aloud enough.

It's worked for summoning anything, from little objects, like a remote, to people. I'll tell myself that "x object is right behind me", and turn around. Normally it doesn't work, so I'd say, "x object must be behind the bush, then" (I adapt this to my situation). Lo and behold, there it is.

Works every time.

Open a dream door and reach inside, expecting to grab the hand of your intended dream figure and pull them through. This also works using mirrors as liquid portals. Just reach in and expect to find the person you seek. As with most of these methods, your underlying expectation is absolutely key to your successful conjuring.
