You do say you could feel energy moving so this may not be helpful. However, look in the Dream Yoga class and read up on the visualization stuff and energy flow stuff. The better you get at creating these sensations while awake the better you will be at control in a dream. I would say use the energy movement one to feel large amounts of energy flowing. I can now visualize things tactilely that are not part of my body so I would "feel" the fire form. I would also use the same skill that allows me to see say a triangle in my waking mind and "see" a triangle shape form in my hand. I would then use my memory of watching a real fire (go do this while thinking about lucid dreaming) to cause a mental image of fire. If it did not appear I would refuse to allow the thought of it not working to form (see lesson on suppressing thought). I would know that it had formed (despite the visuals not showing it) and would be proud and happy with how well it had formed (even though the visuals did not form.) I may go as far as to enjoy throwing fireballs or flaring the flames (which so far have not formed but damn if I am going to allow that thought.) Using this sequence I will be able to do most any dream control. It involves practicing some skills while awake but is well worth it. For me the time between it not appearing, me fooling myself, and it actually appearing is negligible. Meaning if you were able to watch the dream you would just see me summon fire and would not know the amount of mental stuff that went into it. |
