I'd like to share a personal discovery I made whilst dreaming that vastly improved my control over supernatural power and influence of the environment. |

interesting theory. When it comes to dream characters, I say kill 'em all! |
|
Seems to be the opposite with me. I have very little DC's and poor control, which I am working on. Quite possibly there is one sneaky dream character hiding, stalking, ready to strike! |

The dream was already long before having meddled with the dream characters, so I don't feel that their deletion had any effect on time (but you never know!). It was also dream induced. Some odd event occurred that made it apparent I wasn't awake. |
|
Ah, meteors the size of semi trucks hit the ground a few dozen feet from me and didn't leave a mark on the ground, but rather smashed open into many pieces when I was expecting large craters (and death, hah). A pretty good dream sign if I ever saw one. |
|
So, I made a point to try this last night. No luck. |
|
There were a few DC's in my lucid this morning. I actually had more control. I made a sword appear from thin air and focused my energy on it. Every time I swung it, it flung out energy waves. I forgot to do my task though |

Sounds like a good thing to try, but instead of closing your eyes and risking destabilising the lucidity too much, maybe you could actually "Ask" the dream to "Remove all dream characters!" ?. |
|
well, DC's do tend to destabilize my dreams by distracting me- most types f contact with DC's makes me wake up. However I think the dream became clearer for you because you expected it to. |

Being able to 'blink' things out of existence in my dreams was something I began doing maybe two years ago, and it just came naturally without causing any immediate changes for the environment. I've never asked out loud for things to happen, but it's worth trying. As far as generic verbal commands go, I've only begun using those more recently. Can you tell me the name of this book you speak of as well? |
|
I think asking out loud for things to change or for more information from the dream itself rather than the characters within might be a good technique, I'll try it too once I'm able to have more frequent lucids in the first place. |

Was going to try again today, but I thought I failed.. I did a nose reality check but it didn't work so I thought I wasn't. I'll let you know tomorrow. |

not if you think the placebo won't work. hmm this leads me to a paradox. |

Yuri's right. The whole "I believe that removing DCs will increase clarity, so it does" placebo thing could give a false positive. Or, conversely, a false negative, as he also said, if it does indeed free up more resources but your brain doesn't use them because you believe that it won't work or probably won't, or are in doubt of it. Thus, it doesn't. |

That's not true, you can prove ANYTHING if you throw enough science at it! |
|
Oh yeah? Prove it! |
|
I like having DCs in my Lucids. It seems to prolong them for me. It's true that I don't think as clearly when they are around (or I am thinking clearly and they all act like statues), but I'd rather have longer slightly less controllable lucids than extremely clear extremely short lucids. |
|
So to test the Placebo effect effectiveness, try a different placebo to accomplish the same thing. Say instead that generating a TON of DCs will enhance your dream control, since you created all of them, and all of them should be able to help you accomplish your next task. Like a giant focused network. Just think of each of them as atoms of your mind working towards the same goal as you. |
