Thread: Dream Control: the complete tutorial

Ahh, things make so much more sense now! I believe I must be quite an ignorant lucid dreamer; I've never thought that there might be such a concept as Passive Control. What I tend to do is sort of 'conjure' things up and they always come, but in a really hazy way, all flickery and that. I am very thankful for this information!

Ah, I'm glad I read this topic. Things seem to become less vivid in my dreams when I try to manipulate it. I think this will really help what I'm experiencing, and hopefully I'll be able to better utilize the lucid dreams I have.

Well, your method worked like a charm in my lucid dream last night. I normally have trouble going to an entirely different dreamscape. However, in the spirit of passive control, I went up to a window next to a door, and remarked "What's with this paper here?" and when I grabbed the edge of the window, I was able to tear away the image as if it were paper, and reveal the dreamscape I wanted to go to. Then, I opened the door, and it opened to where I wanted to be.

I lost no lucidity in doing this, which is great! I'm so glad I learned of this technique, as now I am able to manipulate dreams as much as I want without losing lucidity or vividness, which is an excellent thing.

Nice thread! I have the problem of using forced-control, my lucids have gotten ridiculously shorter. I need to work on passive control for sure. Thanks for sharing this.
