When I am lucid I have to use energy in my legs and chest that I mentally focus on an object, then I can think of what I want it to do. If I can't produce the energy then it doesn't work, i have to use the same energy in different ways to do any power.
Psi-ops style is my favorite. I played that game so much, that when I try to do it in my dreams, it works just like in the game, which makes it insanely easy to levitate objects or people.
100th Post!
For me, my ability to do telekinesis is all determined by how substantial and vivid the dream is. The more life-like it feels, the more difficult it is; my mind tries to tell me it is impossible because even though it knows I'm dreaming, it still seems like I'm awake (to my mind, or my minds senses).
When the dream isn't very vivid, it is really easy; expect it to move and it moves.
However, when it is more vivid, I actually have to draw from my inner core, and let the energy or force permeate the item in question, or surround the item in question, and move it that way. I can actually feel the energy, and it seems that it can be done in real life as well as long as I can tap into that same energy. I know exactly what it feels like, and how to draw upon it, but my mind in the real world still has that disbelief and feeling of impossibility, and therefore the lack of expectancy.
I find that the size of the object matters as well in vivid dreams. You need to draw upon a lot more of that energy reserve, and your mind likes to say that the bigger the object, the harder it is to move. I want to see If I can move something as large as a house in the vivid dreams.
My skill has reached the point where I can handle many objects at once, but my focus has to be divided, and so the larger the objects, the less I can move at once. And when I move small objects, I can do it with my mind alone, or by pointing and moving my finger like a conductor, but with a large object, I actually have to stretch out my hand or see two hands to direct a larger flow of energy from myself to the object.
it helps to make a humming sound in your head. That way it makes it feel like your actually doing something.
priestofmyownchurch has the basic method of doing telekinesisQuote:

For those of you who have, do you find that it is best to just find a way that you are comfortable doing it and just keep trying?
Generally, in my experience, so long as you truly believe that it's going to work, it will do the trick in a lucid dream. So if there's a way that you are comfortable with and you really like, just keep practicing and reminding yourself that it's YOUR lucid dream and that it's YOUR mind and that YOU want it to work, and that it WILL work because there's no reason it shouldn't. Always does the trick for me ;) Try to stabilize and make sure that you're very lucid and you understand what that means.Quote:

When I first started (this still helps if I'm having issues), I didn't just reach my hand out and wave it around. 100% success was when I began to curl my fingers in, as if "gripping" the object from a distance. That locks in complete control.
Yeah this is what i have always done, I just move it lol.Quote:

Plus it impresses DCs more when I'm not grunting and waving my arms around to get a chair to float. ;)
I'm bringin' this thread back!!!
I levitate things from each of my fingers and it is really cool!
I just do what I do to land tricks skating, picture the object at the final destination and hold that thought, the rest just falls into place :)
I'm kind of boring, if I'm pushing something backwards, i just push my hand outwards (flat palm) and it seems to work. I'm not generally successful in getting things to come to me!
If your a gamer like me, I would use the HL2 gravity gun, or perhaps the Bioshock telekinesis plasmid... Besides gaming ways... I odn't know :p
I am a gamer, but I really only play the Final Fantasy series, Warcraft and Aion (for right now).Quote:

Right...
Just do it?
I can't even describe how I do it anymore. It's just second nature now.
In my dreams, I like doing things dramatically.
I close my eyes, and breath for a minute. You know, Naruto styled...like before someone is going to perform some amazing taijutsu.
I open my eyes, and force my hand forward with an intent look on my face. I take an epic stance, and overdo everything.
Instead of just letting the leaves fall, I make them blow into a whirlwind.
That's theoretical anyhow. I don't lucid dream enough tto actually say how I do telekinesis in dreams. By the way, in telekinesis, do you annuciate the KIN or the E before ISIS?
I've heard both.
Err... I always say "telekin E sis"
