Note: I&#39;m in the middle of totally rewriting this topic. If you&#39;d like to read the old version then <<click here>>

Previously this topic was about how I had gained total control over my dreams, how I had "tamed the beast" that is my mind. Only now do I see how arrogant and stupid I was.


Its not that I couldn&#39;t control my dreams... far from it. I could more or less control any aspect of the dream that I chose.
The root of my previous ignorance lies in how I (used to) control my dreams. I would realize that it was all in my head, think of what I wanted to do, then I would impose my will onto the environment. (by impose I mean I would force it to happen through sheer and massive amounts of will)

The problem that arises when using this method is now obvious to me. By thrusting out total and complete logic ("this is a dream, I am the ultimate orchestrator&#33; This dream exists only because of me&#33; etc.") Your trading the stability of your dream for control. Essentially, your puling out that intrigal part of the dreaming mind that allows the dream to go on. (usually in some small way, that part your killing actually thinks the dream is really happening.)

That said, the pushing technique is still a very useful thing to know how to do. (in case you need to make that pesky nightmarish beast go away) Just don&#39;t depend on it.

So anyway, I&#39;ve decided to make another multi-method topic. (if you&#39;ve read my WILDing Guide then this should look familiar )

The way this works is that you hold the "ctrl" key, then press the "f" button. This will open a little box where you can type in text to find on the page. type one of these in and hit enter:


3456 -----&#62; for the "forced control" method.

or

6732 -----&#62; for the "let it happen" method.
