I've learned through experience that transforming your own body into something else can be quite difficult in a dream, and have only once had minor success in this. However, I had an idea. I have no trouble creating dream characters by saying "such and such a person will walk around the corner now" and lo and behold, the person with the characteristics I imagined walks casually from behind something (has a gun I can take, a dead person I wish to talk to, etc.). So, I figure, since it's quite simple to make things immaterial but still there, it shouldn't be too much of a stretch for one to simply summon a character, turn them around and "jump into" their body, possess them if you will. It might have strange side effects, like accidentally being backwards or struggling to control the body over the will of the DC, but I feel like this would be quite an easy way to transform the self image. Has anybody ever tried this, or tried other methods of transformation and met either success or difficulty? |

u could possibly look at the mirror then close your eyes and imagine who you want to be then open them |

Hi John, |
|
I used to struggle to make things like this happen, but recently I started using this wand idea that I found somewhere on this forum, and now I can use similar methods for changing my self image. I now use my wand to create a "self image altering machine", then step into the machine, change my self image into whatever I want. I get out of the machine and I have become whatever I wanted to be. The machine helps me believe that I can make myself change another way than "by magic". |

The magic machine is an interesting idea. I tried looking into a mirror and closing my eyes and then opening them again to change my self image, but sure enough I opened my real eyes. In the heat of the moment I'd forgotten not to do that. As for "jumping" into somebody causing all kinds of problems, I could see that happening, but I also figured that if you'd created this person by having them walk around the corner, you could create them to be a shell of a dream character with no personality or free will I suppose, a blank minded person you can just take control of. I wouldn't try doing it to a dream character with a personality and believable characteristics, it's much too difficult to do anyway. |

The first time i changed my apearence I was looking in a mirror and thought of myself having certain facial features, my face changed as soon as I thought about it. After reading this I tried possessing a person but as I tried the person disintegrated. I tried again with a mirror, I thought that watching myself possess someone would help but instead I just moved him. |

I wanted to shapeshift in a recent LD but couldn't no matter how hard I tried. I'd wanted to see what I'd look like with a pair of big threatening devil horns protruding from my head. I could feel it wanting to happen but I couldn't make it a 'reality'. |
|
Cool dream. |
|
i change with little or no effort, my favorites against nightmares are freddy krueger and it the clown, the only problem with the freddy was that when i fought the real freddy with my freddy he held his ground so then i changed into the clown with freddy gloves on, then he got scared and i sliced him apart... |

I haven't changed my body in any way before other than changing my clothes. I know that I can though. I have actually been meaning to try adding aditional limbs and tails and stuff, just to see what it would be like but other things always come up. |
|
Gaaah, not fair. I want more than anything to be able to do that. D': |
|
^ Sounds like a very complicated thing to do in a LD. |

what would be cool to turn into? i have had 2 lucids but havnt tried transforming yet. |
|
Turn into a bird and fly with wings or be a lion and run through Africa. Better yet create your own animal and be it. |

Try this: in your waking life. go to a big mirror (bathroom one works) Unfocus your eyes and don't blink. |

MoSh: How about you stop trying to define everything, and just accept what you experience, and explore it.

not really, all you'd have to do is open up a closet and expect to find a box, a knife, and a marker. You could just pull the marker and knife out of your pocket probably, and a box is a pretty likely thing to find pretty much anywhere, shouldn't be too hard to do. Although, you might need to get a DC to push the button for you (an orange feline DC perhaps). I think I'm gonna try to do this next time I have an LD (hopefully soon, I've averaged 4 or so a week for the past couple weeks). |

Yah! Other Calvin and Hobbes fans! I really like the "Transmogrifyer Gun" ones. |
|
I did turn into a cat once (sadly not on purpose). |
|
Lol. So, how realistic does it seem? Oh, and in your dream right there were you lucid? |
