Need help with shapeshifting

[DQ5]

Lately I've been trying to change who or what I am in my dreams, so just basically shapeshift, But I've been having some troubles but I really want to accommplish this feat. (It's a feat for me, may be easy as pie for others.) So I have come to ask for help. *The problem* Okay so the problem is that I want to change into something (anything actually) I just don't want to be plain old me. So I tried focusing and changing one part of me at a time and I can usually do like a-half of me, but whenever I do the other half I look back and it's just plain, old, boring me.(If you knew me you'd know I'm very boring) I sometimes am almost finished but then poof I'm me again. So If anyone has any ideas on how to solve my problem or stay in the different form, they would be really loved. I think this is a really fun personal challenge.Thanks!

I've had a similar problem. A few people on the forums suggested like taking a shapeshifting pill. Maybe it could work for you?

I find it best if it is done in one motion. Like for example I'll jump off a cliff and transform into a bird by the time I hit the air. I find that the problem with doing it one part at a time is that it leaves too much time to doubt and question yourself. Just what works for me though.

Honestly, the closest I've ever come to shape-shifting is transforming into another person, which isn't all that exciting. I would love help with this as well (I've been wanting to turn into a rock, for some reason...please don't ask about that).

The best thing I can tell you is practice. I do a good bit of the shaministic guided meditations, and transform into animals during them, so I have no problem in the dream world. Meditate and practice, see what works for you. For the rock thing, I'd start with turning into a statue -- feeling sflesh and bone harden, etc then move up to rock.

I don't have much experience actually shapeshifting, but I do have a lot of dreams (usually non-lucid) where I switch perspectives. Almost every dream, actually. This has included switching into the perspectives of animals such as a wolf. Maybe you could try creating/finding what you want to become and then switching into it's perspective. This might be slightly easier than trying to change yourself because you're imagining what it's like to be someone else or look through their eyes, rather than trying to convince yourself that you are something else.

Well, dunno if this helps, but what I do is: Focus on the part of body I want to change, then infuse it with energy and make the cells mutate into the desired form. I rarely change specie so... but I change my hands into claws, grow wings and get some fishy powers! If that counts <.<

I was out learning to wakeboard today, so I haven't had time to check in on this, but HUGE thanks to everyone! These ideas sound so awesome! I will be sure to try them as soon as my next lucid. Hopefully they will solve my problem. Thanks again!

Well, in my recent lucid dream I tried to change my body so I would look like someone else, complete with clothes and bla bla. But since that didn't go very well this time either, I thought of a back-up plan when I was awake. It wasn't shapeshifting really, I just created a body that looked like I wanted it to be and got "into" it... became one with it or whatever. So what I'm trying to say is that you can become something or someone else just by creating this body and possessing it afterwards. Hope it may help . But hell, I still want to learn how to sprout great wings from my back .
