Share an Example of "SUMMONING" from Your Own Dreams.
Hi all. I have been very quite for a long time, sorry about that. Let's share some of our experiences with summoning successful or not from your own lucid dreams.
When I first started learning how to LD my first attempt at summoning was wanting to find a sword and hold it. I used dream incubation and pictured myself holding a sword as I did mantras while falling asleep. The first time I had any luck was after about three or four LDs. I entered a room in our house and saw that my tarot cards were scattered all about. I bent and picked one up. It was the Queen of Swords, and had a picture of a lady with a large sword on a throne. In the dream I got excited and felt this was a small success from the dream incubation. I still could not find a actual sword in that dream though.
In the next LD I was attacked by a DC and did not understand how to make it stop or go away. I held the bad guy down and he pulled out a knife. I took it from him and looked down to see a clear image of a knife in my hand. I tried to make it grow into a sword, but woke up.
The next dream I succeeded! Here is how. I knew in this dream that I had a goal of finding a sword. This was the first one were I clearly remembered a goal I had set while awake. I looked around and saw a few DCs so I worked a story up in my imagination. To find a sword the scene should be castle like, and they should be fighting. As I imagined this some of the imagery shifted and I could see some of the DCs in chain mail with weapons. I jumped into the scene and tried to be confident. I yelled to a DC "I will help, quick hand me a sword" I looked away as if looking for the enemy and reached my hand back towards the DC. Sure enough I could imagine him approaching and felt him hand me a sword. I looked down at my hand and there it was! My first ever success in any kind of control. I had summoned my first sword.
Feel free to share failures too, or even just what you plan on trying to summon and how you might do it.
