Trouble with telekinesis

**cjacollins** · 05-20-2014 04:26 PM

Hey all, I had a lucid dream last night and decided to test some dream powers, one of which I had great trouble with..

I attempted to levitate objects to try and show off to the DC's however It took an immense amount of effort to lift the smallest item.. For example I could lift a teddy bear (that was for some reason laying on a shelf) and the Big bottle of Pepsi that was next to it, but I couldn't lift anything heavier.

Even the bottle of pepsi required me to extend both arms out in typical movie fashion..

I was wondering if anyone had a full proof method for this type of thing, or is it a try, try and try again sort of thing?

My suggestion is: imagine it. Anytime during the day, try to image you doing this. Have this in your mind. Even if you have to draw it or something. When you dream about this you will have no difficulty to lift an object, because your mind already knows how to do it (you imagined it prior to the dream).
I once bent an entire street, like in the Inception movie. And it was easy. Because that scene of the movie was stuck in my mind and i imagined me doing this.

At the risk of channeling that bald kid in the Matrix:

Try to remember, when you are moving objects in your dreams, that there really are no objects in the dream.

In a dream, a teddy bear has the exact same mass as a freight train, that mass being zero. If you can remember that the stuff you are trying to move really doesn't exist, or rather exists only as projections, imagery to entertain your perception, you will also remember that any object in your dream can be wherever you want it to be -- no matter how large it appears to be.

I know this sounds like a no-brainer, especially when you think about it now, while awake. But it can be very difficult to honestly tell yourself that this stuff in the dream -- stuff that seems so real -- is really just so much imagery bouncing about your brain; just as it is easy to think that your dream body is the real thing, and suffers the same limitations in this dream place as it did in the real world.

The way to do so is not to try harder to move a stubborn object, but to pause for a moment and remember, clearly, that this is a dream, that the real world where things have mass is back where you left your sleeping body, and that this thing in front of you that you want to move isn't really a thing at all, but an image of a thing; created by you and ultimately controllable by you.

Will definitely do this I guess it's a mind over matter thing.. p.s love inception! And the bending the street thing is on my list of things to try out as I gain more experience!

Thanks for your suggestion, you speak a lot of sense and have a very logical way of thinking. .. something I'm going to try and adopt myself. I think everything you said is right. . And I should probably listen to those quotes more, they make a lot of sense. . One of my favourites from the matrix is:
Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
