Thread: Dream Control: the complete tutorial

Maybe this should be obvious, but I'm very new to LDs.

How do you change the dream scene without forcing it? I very frequently end up in my grandmother's house for some reason, but of course i'd much rather be at the beach

I always use mirrors or walls.

Just walk up to a mirror/wall and think to yourself:
"This wall/mirror is actually a portal to _(Place you want to be)_!"
Then just walk through it, and you've teleported


The key with using passive control is that there has to be a semi-logical reason that your able to do whatever it is your wanting to do. This reason can be anything at all.
Your imagination is the limit.

Great technique BillyBob.. definately going to try it!

Yeh i am going to try this tonight.

Ah, Nice tut there bud.

I tried (pretty feebly) to get across the concept of passive control in my placebo tut. I, of course, suck at explaining and you've done such a nice job with this tut.

Personally, I don't tend to force at all. The only time I infringe on the dream laws is time control. Even then I simply winder out loud "What would have happened if it had been like this 5 minutes ago" And poof I'm back.

Something Billy didn't mention: You can make ANYTHING do ANYTHING as long as you tell yourself the cause and effect are related. I think the example I used in my placebo tut was that I killed a samurai by opening a pink umbrella.

Also relating to the subject, passive control is what makes up semi-lucids. (see my levels of lucidity tut in my sig) Passive control is vital for anyone who wants control in their dreams without going though the painful and restricting process of realization. Just like forced control does, realizing you're dreaming consciously will tend to adversely affect your vividness and length. Practice passive control and you may get a Semi yet!

ok ive got an idea so tell me if this would work

im in a room and i want to be able to do forced control without realy doing forced control so useing passive i open a door and there is this guy standing there and he says " he this room just go flooded with raditation that mutated you you can now control the univers and twist reality"


im going to try tell me if it wil work

Thanks alot man! Reading this thread gave me a DILD tonight.

I was in my house just chilling. I decided to try and make a woman I know appear, so I went to the front door and stood there a while, picturing that my friend would come over for a casual visit. Then I opened the door, and there she was!

Now, somewhy most of my dreams contain very violent Dream characters who's out to hurt me for some reason. And this dream was no exception..
When I had invited my friend in, a few other guys broke into my place and started harrassing me. I tried to DEMAND them to dissapear, but one of them just walked up to me and punched me in the face (and damn, that actually hurt).

So again I remembered this thread, and I started picturing the floor being slippery wet, because I had just been mopping the place. And suddenly all these guys starts tripping over! No matter how much they tried to stand up they kept falling over again.
I then say to myself that i've got superhuman strength. So I grab one of them by their feet and start swinging him around. I let go and he goes straight into a wall.

When they all recover I tell them that they should leave, and they actually listened to me it was brilliant...
