General Survey: What Superpower Do You Use?

**Techno** · 02-17-2008 08:55 AM

As part of a general survey I am making for the purpose of collecting a rough idea of certain topics dream-related, I have created this thread to determine what is the most often-used superpower in an LD. I don't want a long list of powers, just one or two powers that you use the most. The power could be anything that is well-known as a superpower, but do not make it very specific.

Good example: Telekinesis.

Bad example: Summoning Jessica Alba so I can do dirty stuff to her.

And...begin.

Telekinesis (primarily for flying, but also some general use)
Electrokinesis (shooting lighting from my hands)

**Iamerik** · 02-17-2008 02:35 PM

Mostly telekinesis, but I like reverse time too. Reverse time requires a good amount of dream control for me though, so I don't use it as often as telekinesis. Not that telekinesis is fail proof.

Oh and walking through solid objects, if you can call that a power.

**Nefarious** · 02-17-2008 03:50 PM

Summoning, dream agility and strength mostly. Sometimes I try and do magic like lightning strikes, fireballs and stuff.

Other than that I just like to use all kind of things near me and see how they work.

Most used skill is flying, in conjunction with super speed and agility. When a more offensive ability is in need, I'll go for telekinesis or electrokinesis.

**Amelaclya** · 02-17-2008 07:11 PM

Flying, walking through walls, teleportation, and I've shot fireballs at people a few times. I also had a few LDs where I could breathe underwater.

**Angel Fae** · 02-17-2008 07:39 PM

Flying and teleporting...

**Abra** · 02-17-2008 08:49 PM

Flying. I usually don't need to use offensive superpowers.

**Barns** · 02-17-2008 10:13 PM

Flying, teleporting, telekenisis, casting spells, magical shields, controlling elements, controlling landscape, etc..

It would be a pretty long list.

**Lucidbulbs** · 02-17-2008 11:55 PM

Flying, teleportation, pyrokinesis, and cyrokinesis.

**Oneironaut Zero** · 02-18-2008 12:08 AM

I use telekinesis.

...A LOT.

Since when are superpowers offensive, by default?

**Scatterbrain** · 02-18-2008 12:16 AM

The ones I use the most are (in order): flying, going through solid objects, super-strength, telekinesis.

Would it be bad for me to say I'm too lazy to use telekinesis?

**Axidion** · 02-18-2008 12:39 AM

Telekinesis, Flying

**Muad'Dib 007** · 02-18-2008 03:02 AM

A little zap of electricity stops people in mid-step

**Serith** · 02-18-2008 03:51 AM

Telekinesis is my strongest power too, I end up using it in most of my lucid dreams, and a lot of non-lucid ones too. My next-strongest is phasing through solid objects, which I also do frequently in dreams. Every other superpower I either don't use frequently, or can't use with much success.

**Techno** · 02-18-2008 03:58 AM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for the most part I'm seeing flight and telekinesis as the most used powers. Regardless of what else you use, most of you either use telekinesis or fly as well, but alot of you use both.

Is it that they are both so amazing yet easy-to-use powers? By the way, I'm going to leave this survey running indefinitely, so don't mind this post. It's just here to point out the obvious.

**AspirationRealized** · 02-18-2008 04:05 AM

Say what you want, but the Jessica Alba thing is most useful to me xP

**ninja9578** · 02-18-2008 04:13 AM

flying, walking through things

**Sulukra** · 02-18-2008 05:07 AM

Lets see. Never actually used telekinesis - general magery (Mostly aqua and necro/shadowmancy...), Naruto stuff (Rotation, mostly) and stuff like that.

I've also flown once, so out of five lucid dreams, not bad.

I use telekinesis a lot because it can be used for basically everything, and it's not hard to use in lucid dreams.

Flying is similarly easy to do, and everyone wants to fly. Additionally, it's the best way of getting from place to place besides teleporting, and teleporting is difficult to use.

I also transform a lot, because I don't have much trouble doing it and it's an amazing feeling.

So I guess that yes, the main reason is that they're easy to use. And fun.

**Mrmike2** · 02-18-2008 10:47 PM

I like to transform, Telicinisis, and flying

**HonerableMoUsE** · 02-18-2008 11:44 PM

haha, so many creative things to do. ug. . .all i do every single time is try to fly. Im afraid of hights though, so I usually just jump really high. . .
haha.
So I guess my super power is jumping really high.
hahaha.
sad.

**Dreams Rock** · 02-20-2008 05:23 PM

Teleporting really is hard to pull off... I tried it a bunch of times this morning in my LD, and I only got it once. It wasn't really that far either...

Anyway, out of my 2 LDs, the power I used the most so far is FMA-style transmutation. It's pretty easy to do and is really fun.
