Can't teach an old dog new tricks?

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem:

Once you learn one way of doing something in an LD, do you have trouble getting others to work?

For example: travel.

Now ever since learning to LD, my method of choice for changing my dream scenery was to pretend I'm Aes Sedai from the Wheel of Time and "Travel" (Create a magic portal and step through basically, for those not familiar) to make it more logical to myself.

Now I can't seem to get any other way of traveling to work for me, I tried spin teleporting, changing scene through a non magical doorway, jumping through a mirror, etc. I even had an LD last night where I began in a small room with no doors or windows and tried to simply fly through the ceiling and I just hit my head :(

Anyone else have this problem? I know its not a horrible one to have, because at least I have a method that works 100% of the time, but it still bugs me :roll:

I know what you are talking about! I like levitating things for fun, been doing that for as long as I can remember. For the longest time, I had to use my hand (pointing at the object) to help levitating things, and I wanted to learn how to do it by just looking at it and simply doing it. I think it's been a year or so, and I've managed to without pointing a few times.

Same here, I can only fly if I use my arms as wings. If I bring them in I just fall.

I get that in all my dreams, having to "swim" through the air...

I havn't had enough dreams of just completing my
set tasks yet, so i'm not sure if it has happened to me,
but if it happens to me i'll come back and tell you how i'm going
kay. good luck on your dreams too
