In one of my more recent LD's i decided to get myself out of this 'dream controlling' rut and just say what i want. I'm surprised how infrequently i actually state my intention out loud, either dreaming or in waking life but usually go the long way around to get what i want.

First up in the LD i got stuck in a cage i was walking through because my dream became very vivid. After a bit of frustration with myself for not being able to pass through a wall i KNEW wasn't there, i decided to look past my problem. I looked off into the distance, to a tall building. I focused to the top of the building and as i did, my attention pulled me there. It literally just felt like i was pulled up to where i was focussing.

After playing around with this method of dream transport i decided to go flying. I pointed my finger off into the distance and said loudly and clearly "i want to fly over there" then i did, with ease, as if simply stating my intention clearly made it so.

My disclaimer here is that i already can fly easily in my LD's but this method just seemed so clear and i wonder how else i can explore this more direct approach in LDing.

Has anybody else had experience with this sort of approach?
