You got it, spinning is as simple as turning like a child. I tried it several times and it worked. The dreamscape either changed or stayed the same with out fading any further. I rely on rubbing my hands together now for maintaining the dreamscape. |

is spinning as simple as just turning around like a child? or does it take practise and lots of mental strain like everything else? |
|
WHen I spin in a dream it doesnt feel like spinning like a child because I dont use my legs. I just magically spin onn an axis. Its relly cool, because I can start spinning really fast like this. The few times Ive tried it, its worked really well. |

it didn't take much mental training for me, worked first time i tried it. when i do it it's not like turning like a child, it's more like a tazmanian devil spin. really fast... it's a cool feeling though |
|
I think i'll have to experiment a bit, it seems it varies a lot. I think i'll try spinning a bit supernaturally, and a bit from my own ability. Sort of like the tasmanian devil... that should be an easy thing to copy, seeing as i'm from tasmania |
|
GOod visual..like the tamanian devil. It really is very effortless. THoguh I dont think I spin quite that fast...but it is pretty damn fast. |

You can spin or i like to touch dream objects or my dream body. Find what works best for you, the thing that makes spinning or any other tecnquie work is that it gets you to focus on the dream world and no the waking world. Use your different senses, try touching something, or looking at the ground and noticing the grass,rocks, that sort of thing. |

LD's since joining-16
I find I can only spin once. Ive never had a LD but I have come very close and get into a state of trance. |
|
I used to think spinning meant squatting and staring at an object then getting up (everythign becomes clear) I suppose I get it from metroid (called spinning when you squat and re-enter your run) But seriously if spinning dosent work concentrate on somthing really hard (keep your eyes moving) Try what works best! |
|
i think i'll try the looking at objects and using senses for increasing clarity, spinning for prolonging the dream and changing scenes.. |
|
I spilled spot remover on my dog. He's gone now.
for me all i had to do was look up think what i wanted as i spun in circles w/eyes closed and it changed what i wanted. |
|
you can't do that on the internet!.... wait yes you can do it again!
It's all about the spin !!! |

They say dreaming is dead and noone does it anymore. It's not dead, it's just been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it, so nobody knows it exists. .. waking life
spinning has never worked for me the times I have tried it... well not worked very well. I've found that shouting out something to the effect of "lucidity now" or "increase lucidity" or "clarity now" works pretty well. It doesn't seem to always work, but when it does, it works very well for me. |
|
I tried spinning 3 or 4 times. It didn't work once out of those times. but i HATE spinning. Because everytime i did, once i was in the new dream setting, i would lose lucidity. |

Curiosity killed the cat but at least it didnt die an ignorant bastard
Sounds liek it is because youre trying to spin with someone. The whole point of spinning is to whirl the fadign image fo the dream into a new world, and it might be hard if youre trying to hold onto pieces of it, but not the rest. But at the same time, I bet it is possible to spin iwht someone. Maybe just more difficult, especially if you havent gotten it to work before. |

i tried spinning two times but it didn't work. in both times spinning woke me up. on the second time, it was dark before i spin, and while i was spinning it became totally dark, and the spinning won't stop by itself. when i try to stop it i woke up. |

this kind of reminds me of the movie the mask. the guy puts on the mask (falling asleep), then he starts spinning really fast (he's doin the spin thing and changing dreams), and he stops and everything pretty much changes (thats dreaming), when he takes off the mask and he's back into reality (thats waking up). You see my point? think of it like that. |
