Harry Potter and the Lucid Dream Control Technique (tutorial)

[Rainman]

Alright so maybe I'm a dork, but I have noticed a lot of threads on how to summon things, or how to "teleport". Well I don't know about some of you, but I'm a mild Harry Potter fan...(mild as in, I know quite a bit about it, but I'm not one of the nerds who dresses up like a bloody dementor to go to see the movie. To be honest I'm a little sick of the harry potter craze, but I do enjoy the books quite a bit.) I have created a method (perhaps I am not the first to do this one) that relies on using "magic spells" to accomplish things. Now obviously it is not necessary to know the names of the spells from the book, but I use them, just because it's easier to remember them if you already know them. Basically this method revolves around deciding what it is you are trying to accomplish, do an action, (such as waving around a wand), and then say a magic word or phrase. People often ask how to summon things or people. Well I find that it helps to do an action for any form of control. Well pick up a stick, decide it's a wand, and it will be. Decide what you want to summon. Then you decide what word or phrase will make that happen. It doesn't matter what you pick, as long as you believe that it IS the magic word to summon it. You also have to decide the manner in which your object of desire will appear. I usually just make it poof. Ok so lets summon a hot chick (or dude, depending on your preference o'course). Wave your wand and say your word. Hot-stufficus! Poof there s/he is. That's how I do it. Now I want to teleport? Well you could walk through a wall (passive, but difficult for some) or spin (forced- bad idea)...or you can just teleport with magic! Perhaps tap your head with your wand and say another word. "Apparate" perhaps Everything else you want to do works the same way. More experienced members will probably agree that this method is not necessary. They would be right. Dreams are all in you head...if you believe it will happen, it will! But some people have a mental block with some things, and they need to do an action to justify why it would be possible to fly, or teleport, or whatever you do. So this is one of MANY MANY methods! I hope it works for you. Plus it's just outright fun. Ps. I am by no means whatsoever a Harry Potter nerd or fanatic. I enjoy the books, and figure that since it's so commonly popular right now, I'd post a relative control technique

I have definitely been able to do this... in non-lucid dreams. Just last night I had one where me and three other people "apparated" into some random stretch of woods. It seems like it should work really well in a lucid dream, but I've personally never been able to do it-- and believe me, I've tried. Then again, I've only ever teleported successfully once in a lucid dream, and even then it was a little shaky. I think if you really have faith that the "magic" will work in the lucid, and that there's absolutely no reason it shouldn't, that this could be really successful. Perhaps it's just that I've failed so many times I've come to think it's impossible that I can't do it.

[Rainman]

Well a quote comes to mind when I read your response in regard to lucid dreaming, and that is, "Whether you believe you can do it or not, you're right". you've got to try and make yourself realize that the dreamworld is YOUR CREATION. In a sense, you are the goddess of your own universe. Nothing is impossible or not doable. Do it all! Will it to happen. This is just one "tool" to use to make things you can do anyway happen easier.

ok, got it, not a harry potter nerd, not a fanatic, you just like it, got it anyway, antifanatic disclaimers aside, your idea is awesome! I'm definitely one of those people who has some subconscious mental block, and I think this will really work for me. Good thinking, muggle.

This works REALLY well for me! I have a bit of a knack for summoning people or things, but I can't really do a few superpower things... so usually I'll just reach into my pocket and 'pull' out a wand. Then do lots of stuff! Usually if I don't know a spell I'll just repeat the word twice and add -ra on the end... E.g. if I want to create a portal... Portalyportalra or something along the lines of that

i got a great idea if ur in a lucid and u wanna kill something with magic, without guns or rockets, if ur a harry potter fan take a wand and yell Aveda kedavra!! and it should kill the thing i did that last night, it works !

[Lunalight]

Just an Idea for spells, use latin if you know it. That what JK Rowling does, at least variations of latin words, or different conjugations. Geez I'm a nerd.

[Rainman]

Yep latin based words. If I can't think of what it would be, I say it in some variation of spanglish and it works and yes, tehpwner avada kedavra should work quite nicely especially if you're a fan of the books I remember a lot of them but not all of them, which is why I keep emphasising that it doesn't matter what you say, as long as you expect something to happen when you say a given phrase or word. Happy dreaming

[DarThDreAmeR]

Haha very good idea. I also like the books quite a bit and will definitely give this a try. Sounds fun!

[Burns]

I, on the other hand, am I die-hard Harry Potter nerd and I am okay with that. Anyway, cool idea I've only said actual HP spells (accio, wingardium leviosa, etc) in dreams but have never made up my own.

[Rainman]

That's great. I'd rather use the ones from the book too, but I assume most people won't know them, so making up their own would be just as effective. I was wondering when you'd reply to this hahaha.

[Sandform]

Its wierd that I found this post...well ok not really, I just clicked "new sleep and dreaming posts." But anyway I just took a nap and the one lucid out of like 4 dreams I stumbled upon harry potter and voldmort dueling. I kinda interupted them with my useless blah blah blah lol.

[Gabo]

It's kinda weird that half the posts in this thread are about how to kill people in your dreams! XD

[Rainman]

Well I guess we have learned what people's true intentions are eh? :p

[skl02134]

Well, when apparating, just dont Splynch yourselves! lol. No ones probably thought about that till now, and sorry I put it into your heads, but that wouldn't be too good. Lol. I can just imagine apparating somewhere without a leg. ANYWAYS. Im a pretty mild harry potter fan myself. I might use this Idea, but Im not very good at dream control. Actually, Im horrible. I just cant do it. =D PM me if anyone can help me with that.

[Rainman]

Well that's the purpose of this exercise mate, to help you with dream control. Pretend you're a magical person, and you can go find a wand of whatever sort, and believe that when you say magic words, stuff will happen that you want to happen. Really this is a matter of working your imagination. You have to believe it will work. Btw, *splinch* Sorry couldn't resist

[ushamie]

i think HP sucks but the method should work

[lindsey609]

Umm, how do you summon a person but you don't have a wand? I tried looking for my wand in my pocket but it wasn't there, so I tried using my hands. And I don't mean a random person, but a real person in real life.

[Lunalight]

Umm, how do you summon a person but you don't have a wand? I tried looking for my wand in my pocket but it wasn't there, so I tried using my hands. And I don't mean a random person, but a real person in real life. Try walking around a corner or opening a door assuming they are there.

[QwinsepiaSquared]

i think HP sucks *GASP!* lol I'm thinking in my next lucid I'll have to duel Voldy...shame I can never remember the HP spells when I'm asleep. I usually just add "us" to the end of whatever word since it sounds Latiney and such. And lindsey - when you look in your pocket for that wand, know it will be there! Say it out loud if you have to. "There will be a wand in my pocket." Works for me.

[Rainman]

[quote]I usually just add "us" to the end of whatever word since it sounds Latiney and such.[/quote Well that's all you need to do! It's not necessary to use the exact words. Lindsey, you could also just open the refrigerator or something and expect a wand to be in there. You must really truly believe it will be there for it to work.

[sagan-fan]

wow, you're so defensive on being a harry potter fan. lol. but anyway, ya, i think that your technique would work well for a lot of people.

[Rainman]

Hope it works for you. Nah, but I got PMs (won't mention the name) calling me a harry potter nerd and whatnot. I suppose it irritated me into changing my post

Or... what you could do is this: REAL LIFE! Run outside Find stick shaped like a wand Put in obvious place in your room IN YOUR DREAM Go to your room Look for 'wand' Since you put it there it should be there Pick it up Done

OMG a Harry Potter/Magic Wand LD tutorial I never thought I would see the day. Good Guide though by the way.
