Thread: How do I make someone appear in my dreams!?

I had a lucid dream last night and it was my first successful attempt to get someone I wanted to appear. It worked twice.

What I did was imagine (I think) the song out of "Final Destination 3"- I don't know if any of you have seen the film, but when the main girl in it is being followed, and in other scenes, this song plays that goes "there is someone, walking behind you, turn around". I had been thinking about the song the day before the dream for some reason, anyway in the dream I imagined it-this must've been subconsciously because I don't remember consciously imagining it.
So anyway, I imagined this song and said the name of the person I wanted to appear, and all I did was turn around and they were there! This has never worked before when I've just expected someone to be there.
I imagined my friend and she was there, but then when it worked I decided to make someone appear who I really wanted to see. I did the same thing again and it totally worked and I was talking to them for the rest of the dream (which unfortunately wasn't long). They looked the same as they usually look as well and it was really vivid. It only took two seconds for them to appear with this method.

So I don't know if it was the song that did it, or if I will be able to get it to work next time I have a lucid, but I'm gonna try. Maybe it's just me but try it, it might work for you, good luck!

I know how annoying it is when you can't get someone to appear when you want.

I seen "Final Destination 3" a couple of times but I don't recall that song. I guess I'll just have to watch it again!

Hehe, it's the bit where the main girl Wendy I think is her name is driving down the road to the firework display thing and Ian Mckinley is following her because he wants to kill her after his friend gets killed and he thinks it's her fault everyone is dieing. It starts playing on the car radio. It also gets played at the end where Wendy is on the tube (or Subway), by a guitarist, that's one of the reasons that makes her think the whole death coming to get her thing is starting up again.
The song really creeps me out, I have the DVD so that's how I remember it!

Anyway, that song is my godsend if it is the reason I could summon the person I wanted in my dream! Definitely gonna be my main method now, it worked sooo well.

Last night I had a lucid dream. I forgot to try the variety of techniques listed here. I think I tried something, but I can't remember, all I remember is I didn't see the person.
After my LD, it faded and I reentered another dream scene and became lucid again. Then after some time when that dream faded I reentered another dream and I saw the person. But I wasn't lucid this time! We kinda just stared at each other as I walked by. And then I continued on my way...


Anyway I'll remember to try all these techniques next time or hopefully bcome lucid when I see this person in a nonlucid dream...which occurs from time to time, sometimes frequently.

I've had two short LD's.. and in both, upon attaining lucidity, I've tried to make someone appear. The first time I made the mistake of closing my eyes to wish them there, this resulted in a false awakening The second time, their face popped up, then the dream faded away which was again a tad frustrating

Hey there,

Not sure if this was already mentioned here or not, but one thing I found extremely helpful is to work with associations. Start by creating a place in your dream for the person to be in. That way, you start breaking down the shock effect and disbelief your conscious mind has of seeing the person there, and build up an expectation of them.

An example:

Suppose you become lucid inside a forest, and wanted to meet, say, the president of your country.

First, you could ask yourself: "Alright, why would the president be here". Provide an answer for that yourself: "He's in the forest because it's his day off and he likes to hunt, and he's out hunting".

You've provided a context for him to be there, now to find him. You might call out "Hello?! Is anyone here", or look for other signs of people, civilisation. You might get a response, but it's not the president, its a forest ranger. Not a problem, ask him to lead you to the hunting party that passed by. Or you might come across a road... look for parked cars, make one of them a limousine. Aha, the president's car. He must be close by.

In short, work towards creating a place in your dream for the person you're looking for. Provide a reason for him/her to be there, and if that isn't enough, start following breadcrumps, basically working with associations. If you're looking for a hot swimwear model, you might want to find some pictures of her first, or come across a photo shoot. If you're looking for a friend you knew who passed away, try to think of items that he had that symbolise him in some way and find those first.

The more associations and context you can bring into your dream, the higher the chance of finding the person becomes. Ideally, if you can chance dreamscenes, move into a dreamscene where the person would be almost garantued to be.

In a different topic, I haven't experimented with this yet, but I'm thinking about trying to 'transform' a dc into the person I'm looking for. In my dreams, as in those of many, dream characters often spontaniously change identity and appearance while the dream progresses. I figure it might be possible to make this inherent dreamquality work for you by simply getting a dreamcharacter and trying to make him/her transform into the person you're looking for. You might not want to watch it directly though (not sure), but you could for instance grab a dreamcharacter, tell him to go into the next room and come back, and transform him out of sight, so to speak.

Although that last bit I've no experience with yet. Its my current dreamgoal, to see if its easier going by that route

Anyways, hope that helps,

Redrivertears, I don't think I've ever read about methods like the ones you brought up in your post.

Great ideas and I'll definately be giving them a try. Thanks for posting!!

The things that Redriver is talking about are the reasons why I have yet been unable to have a DILD lol

For me, it'd be like "Wow! Look the president is here! What's he doing here?" and instead of reality checking I'll just assume it's his day off and he's hunting! AH!

The other night I had a dream where I went into a McDonalds and EVERYTHING had the word "LUCID" on it and I was like "Wow! McDonald's is giving lucid dreaming the attention it deserves!"

Somebody hit me!

Instead of you waiting around and calling/ phoning etc . . . go to their house, they might be there

I telepathically try to call the person, and if that doesn't work I begin seaching the dream for him. I sometimes ask people, take their phones, read bulletins, etc. Sometimes I just have a feeling I'll find the person in a particular building or a certain DC will help me find him/her.

I ask DC too, but I think they just want me to walk in circles, haha.

I've never been able to summon somebody u_u But keep trying - giving up isn't going to lead us to success.

One time when I was looking for someone, I went to a random persons door and said "Is Dan in?" (their name) the DC who answered the door seemed to understand and nodded, then they brought out their golden retriever who was also called Dan! Lol, that was a funny dream.

LOL!! That's classic!

Had a lucid last night, and yet again wasted the whole time looking for a guy who never appeared!

Tried ringing him but some older man picked up the phone and said I couldn't speak to him (I could hear this guy talking in the background so I knew he was there!)

One technique that I made up and works for me -but I forgot to use it yesterday- is what I call a 'hug morph'
You go up and find a random DC and hug them- so you can't see their faces etc. Then imagine them morphing into the person that you're trying to find- imagine the material of their clothes changing etc

When you pull away often you'll find they've changed into the person you're looking for!

That does sound cool I will try to do that my next LD. (I'm overdue for one this week)... Nice first post!

well for me it work like thse i said i want some one to apperad and look at me i look up the sky tehyn down againa and tehre it was my father and he was lookign at me

I read a method today: just go up to a random DC, and start talking about the person, and tell the DC a story about them--you might end up back at that place and time. I guess that only works for people you know.

Try and find a door and don't just want them to be behind that door you have to actually KNOW that they're behind that door and the person will be there. I do htat whenever i want to see someone. don't worry about finding the door, if you're looking for it in a dream you will usually find it.

ive learned that you have to be thinking that they are going to be around a corner behind a door...one thing is shouting for your dreamguide...you may get a normal DC instead

I have had some success with this.

Whatever method you use you have got to fully believe it is gonna work.

For the win... Sorry, I got unnecessarily excited about seeing someone who said "tube" not "subway"
