Thread: What Lucid Power Comes More Naturally to You?

I know how dream control works, but it's easier said then done, I have sort of...full consciousness in dreams, I think the exact same in dreams then in real life. I still fully know it's a dream, and that physics don't apply because this is all a projection, but that part of my brain that has the way the world works is also switched on, and it's kinda hard. It was easier to control the dream when I was a muddle headed fool in it...

But, I try my hardest, and I know I will be able to control my dreams again someday

Yup it can be really damn hard get rid of those attachments but you said earlier that you had good DC control in dreams, you could use it to change the "rules". (post about passive dream control...)

Sry if i seemed cocky on earlier post...

I think my DC control stems from the fact I can be very manipulative if I want, and you weren't being cocky

if you want to fly but can't, maybe create something that can make you fly which seems believable to you. like controlling one of your characters to go get a plane
for you, or a balloon, or a dragon, whatever. balloon's give a nice view in my experience.

I'm non-violent by nature but in dreams my prowess comes by instinct, I totally own realistically skilled DC's in real-time to the point where I wonder at how it all comes to me because none was practiced. The most memorable was a past life regression to feudal japan were I was a samurai in charge of a prison, a clan had killed all my guards and set their comrades free, I took on the whole army like it was nothing, having enough reflex to knock arrows from the air with the presence of mind to realize they would still be top heavy if I cut them in half instead using the side of my katana. The thing I do most often and probably sounds less beleivable is shared dreaming with girls, we both confirm parts of the dream to one another and it amazes us. I need to go into a trance to get anything done, when I do I have lot's of control, the other night I summoned ORME from the void and tasted it, flying was the first thing I learned followed by directing the scene where everything else came naturally, my favorites are alchemy (changing the properties of matter), time travel, teleportation, psychokenisis, and lately; moving through objects.

Mostly, I explore the environments I find myself in and experiment with dream abilities. I have enough control over my own actions to do that. Sometimes, though, I do really stupid, impulsive things that I definitely wouldn't do when awake, like throw things at people, and climb over tables and cars just because I can. On all of those occasions, I've asked myself "why did I do that?" upon waking up.

The second time I ever realized I was dreaming while I was still dreaming (and the first time I ever actually did something about it), the realization came to me mid-flight. This was sheer dumb luck, but I think it's a major part of the reason why flying comes so naturally to me.

Here are some thoughts, insights, and experiences I've had regarding flying in dreams:

When I'm dreaming, I know that the environment I'm in is just an imaginary construct of my mind, and therefore, not even the gravity is real. I know that I can simply choose to ignore it and not be affected by it when I want to.

I fly superhero-style: no wings, just willpower. I always take off from a standing start by kicking off the ground with my right ankle (because I'm right-handed). It feels a lot like using your foot to push off from the wall in a swimming pool. I do this while thinking about initiating the act of flying. This mental process is nonverbal; it's a transition from one state of physical balance (standing) to another state of physical balance (flying). It's very similar to the mental process involved in starting my bicycle moving with that first push on the pedals. In that transition, you go from one state of physical balance (standing still, usually with one foot on the ground) to another (moving forward, kept upright by forward momentum).

Recently, I learned a way to hold my arms that helps me fly better and faster. I hold my arms out in front of me, elbows bent, fists out, right fist in front of my left one. I can fly faster by pushing my right fist further away from me and pulling my left one in closer to my chest, as if I were pulling a rope taut. I can control the speed and direction of my flying by moving my fists back and forth relative to each other.

This is a good idea, too. I've flown by holding on to a bunch of balloons in one dream.

Wow, thanks for being bothered to give such a long answer...

EDIT, I got post sniped by the person I was thanking...

I seem to teleport a lot

You're welcome!

LOL! I didn't do that on purpose.

Yay, you're nice

last night I had the first dream where the dc had powers like me, I was escaping from this facility were they kept non-lucid dreamers by forcing them into a dream within a dream. I went to fly away and the guards followed me.

For me it's all kind of "magic stuff", like shooting beams out of my palms. Especially freezing and water magic. When it comes to summoning DCs, it sometimes works perfect, sometimes not at all. Flying has always been easy.

Sleeping

Flight, Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis. (Ironic because I'm pyrophobic)

Flying. I can fly any style absolutely no problem.

And telekenisis.

I just can't summon or any of that. Sigh.

I can easily bring anyone I want into my dream. But, I am yet to successfully bring an object into my dream, even something as simple as a ball.

I saw many people saying "lame, un-cool, etc. " after they said their power so... what I am telling you is that you should be, first of all, glad that you can LUCID DREAM(Sorry for caps), then, be happy that you can do a special Dream Thingie, everyone has one, you just have to wait to discover it, but remember, each of them is useful in their own way but every each one of them are AMAZING.

Fireballs. definitely fireballs. Those irritating blue things appear whenever I try to fly. I an't throw thm either, they just dissapear -_-.
