Thread: How to run faster in dreams?

its been said, but running on all fours really helps.

Drink an energy drink - Make it appear. Its your lucid.

Like Ryuinfinity mentioned: focusing on your destination helps a great deal. If you get too caught up on how you're getting there, you'll never reach your desired location in any decent amount of time.

I havent had an lucid dream yet , still in the dreams i had , running on your four ( legs and arms ) , like an dog or horse for example always works for me , always when i was in troubles and trying to escape i tried to dont run normal or else you will get stressed for going so damn slow

How about doing something else other than running? like flying or teleporting?

If you can't run in your dreams, it's because you feel helpless and you think you can't run well or can't outrun your enemies, right?

So maybe the key is another from of transportation?

Maybe you could go to sleep with the intention of finding rocket skates in your closet?

Maybe watch videos of people or animals running really fast.

How about turn into a cheetah?

If you simply believe you can run faster then you will.

Personally I like to run as if I am skiing

Go-go-gadget-skates!

Try anything that makes sense at the time. Chances are, if it is a dream, you won't be thinking straight or making logical decisions. You could always just fly.

You could spend some time during the day imagining the feeling of running fast. Maybe that will carry over into your sleep.

you could try focusing on a far away object and imagining that its pulling you towards it with a super strong magnetic force. i use this method when im flying to gain speed but still maybe you can try it while running. it may make you run faster. perhaps even send you launching into the air too hehe =D

Option 1) Dont try to run super fast, just imagine it
Option 2) Dont think about how you should run, don't think about where you should be putting your leg, JUST expect that you will run super fast.

Maybe watching animations of people running REALLY fast may help? Imagine it to happen to you while you're dreaming?

Like some girl from Heroes, Daphne, she runs extremely fast if I remember correctly...

why run when you can fly?

Whenever I try to run in my dreams I either fall over after 5 - 6 steps or run waaaaaaaay too much faster than I want to and end up jumping into something.

dont think you can... know you can.

haha but seriously..

When I want to run super speed I don't try to run really fast, I do a mind-trick. I sort of warp time or warp my perception. I visualise myself travelling further faster in a shorter amount of time. In a way I'm teleporting but its happening as a continous blur-motion effect. What I'm trying to say is you don't actually need to run faster, you could in fact just stand still and still move across the ground an incredible distance at an incredible speed - its all in the mind.

I just tell myself like Morpheus tells Neo in the Matrix... do you think you are breathing real air? Once I am over the fact that my legs wont get tired nor will i be breathless because its a dream then I run pretty fast. But usually if you can try flying. I find flying or jumping long distances easier than running fast for a long time

Hi Sora, this happens to me to in regular dreams a lot when i try to run. My brother told me once about it as well he has the same and some other family members and a friend told the same thing about running when i asked them.
Especially when you are on the run for something it's almost scary to be caught or something you wanna run and run and run but you just seem to go slower haha feels like running through a force or a strong wind.

Try imagine running trhough this kind of waves (from the bigger part to where it smallens) and that the tunnel is dragging you forward and kinda shoots you trough the little hole at the end. I actually do this in RL and it's not really very effective there but I'm quite sure it could work in dreams =)
