There seems to be not much talk about the art of physical transformation in dreams. Stuff like the sensation of new or changed limbs. I haven't seen many topics about it so I guess it's just not a very popular subject huh. If you like to shapeshift, describe your experiences here. Also, share any tips if you so wish. |

Probably because it's not the easiest thing to do like flying. It's an entirely foreign concept to any and everyone, so it will take practice. Which means not as many people will have done it compared to smaller things. |

Currently on my to do list. |

The egg is the world.
Who would to be born must first destroy a world.
Morphing into some other form is low on my list right now. I have too many other things I want to do. Maybe someday, when I am having LDs more often I will give it a shot. |

Total LDs (some very brief) = 2004: 4 * 2005: 18 * 2006: 16 * 2007: 2 * 2008: 0 * 2009: 0 * 2010: 1 * 2011: 12 * 2012: 3 * 2013: 1 * 2014: 6 * 2015: 1 * 2016: 0 * 2017: 18 * 2018: 3 * 2019: 0 (so far)

I shapeshift in almost every (if not every) lucid dream I have; because I'm a transgender individual, and it's good therapy. Pretty much every lucid dream I have I turn myself into a woman, and then I'll do whatever it is I would normally do in a lucid dream, while being a woman. It's strange, because I've had sex and mastrubated as a woman in my lucid dreams, and the feeling of the vaginal stimulation is so different from penile stimulation. Plus, my nipples are more sensitive. I've also morphed into a few other things (critters, etc.) in dreams, and have experienced how it feels to have a tail, whatever. It's quite interesting. I have no problem doing it... I'm pretty much God in my lucid dreams. |

That's probably one of the first things I'd do in a lucid dream. |

You may find more similar topics in forum I have moved this to. Happy dreams |

It would be freakin' awesome to be able to shapeshift!! But I need some more expierience before I can do that. |
|
It's pretty hard to do, I mean right now the last lucid dream I had, I only just managed to rack up the mental power and convince myself that I am strong enough to knock a door down with just one hand, but the weird thing is, the first time I was lucid, the first thing I managed to do was get up and I ran and jumped and started flying out my window. |
|
Hmmm... There aren't a lot of dream control threads specific to things, I think because there aren't that many people that LD often. Most people that LD often find a way to do all dream control and don't need help with it after the initial hump of dream control. for me it was hard to fly, after I learned how, all dream control seemed easy, I just go through a quick mental process if I can't get it to work off of straight up expectation. |
|
I shapeshift enough in normal dreams that I should probably list it as a dream sign. On some of the occasions where I did it lucidly: |
|
“Not much touches us, but we long to be touched. We lie awake at night willing the darkness to part and show us a vision.”
Dream control is the easiest thing in the world to adapt. You just have to be arrogant as hell in the dream world. Think to yourself: "I CAN do this... I KNOW I can, because this is a dream, and I can do WHATEVER I want." Just keep telling yourself you can do anything (because it's true), and sooner, or later, your mind will get the hint. I can tell you from first hand experience that the more your mind BElIEVES you can do something in a dream, the more you actually CAN do that something in a dream. You just have to constantly remind yourself that you are inside your imagination--and so, ANYTHING is possible. |

I've tried to shapeshift once for the Task Of The Month - if you are on about practising dream control - that's a great way to take part in these threads!! |
|
Actually, I've done a bit of work on this before and it is actually pretty simple after thinking through the works of it. |

I tend to have a white wolf that have constantly appeared in my dreams since i begun lucid dreaming and during one lucid dream I met a DC that claimed to be such wolf and so I asked her to show me how to transform. She had some other DC's with her that started transforming already and she showed me step by step, telling me to get down on the ground on all four and spread apart my limbs a bit and then look up and howl. As i did that i looked down surprised to see i had paws where there were hands a few seconds earlier and looked forward to see she had transformed too. got so excited and tried to run and but wasnt used to the feeling so i walked quite funny, i then see the dc that showed me run past me and trip as her too had to readjust to the transformation. need to try it again... |

I recall transforming into Optimus prime in a ND. It was quite amazing, and the feeling was just surreal. I could feel and hear my metal body parts working to sustain my huge body, the engine that replaced my heart roaring, and the oil that replaced my blood flowing through my veins |

Not sure if this is really relevant but before i fully accepted who i am (i am also transgender), i dreampt of girls "with no bits" all the time, sad lonely girls who i felt sorry for, i would always ask whats wrong?, and their reply would be those 3 words every time, "i have no bits". Of course, my subconscious was projecting my fears onto DC's, i see that now because i no longer dream of girls with no bits, and up until recently my adult dreaming was practically genderless, i was neither male or female. |

I would love to shapeshift, it'd be awesome. I want to transform into a wolf, dragon, deer, fox, centaur, werewolf and lots more. A pokemon shapeshift would be pretty rad as well. Maybe Umbreon and Houndoom. |

I like being a chimera, if that counts. |
