Did you get a chance to dial out? hmmmm. you know I never even thought about a potential difference in regards to either a dial pad phone or rotary. Another thing also. How did you manage to even have a rotary phone in your dream? Thats hilarious.. But I guess things work out like that. I mean sometimes I have old 1950 like cars in my dreams and I wasn't even thought of in those years. If you dialed out let us know what happened. I love to hear it.

I just realized how hard it was to maintain a handstand in a dream. I keep flying upwards..

Thats funny I used to get that all the time. It felt like everytime I went upside down the Gravity pull just switched off like I was on a world with no gravity at all. I learned how to keep my focuse more and stay on the ground. It takes some time to do but if you just keep looking at the ground and mentally pull yourself to it then you should stay grounded. Warning however.. Never close your eyes when you are upside down. Or you will definately switch your dream setting. And if that happens your chances for keeping Lucidity at that point has decreased by at least 60% just keep that in mind. I hope that little bit of info helps I'll see ya later

Try to use a mobile phone. That should be easier to use.
You can have a phone directory or recently used numbers with names of persons. So with a few keypresses (even 2) you can make a call!

This happens to be one of my favorite Threads not because it belongs to Shadow, but it just very creative I just wanted to post here. I've actually did this but with my sensitive abilities of dream sharing with my family, everytime I called someone close I would end up in their dreams.

Thanks Shadow for an exciting adventure. =)

This is interesting to read for me at least!
I hope to try it soon! Once I get my next LD at least!

I have had three chances two of them I down right blew it and the third I was struggling just to maintain a decent level of lucidity. Owell. Sooner or later. But I will get it. Maybe I will try a cell phone

Yep its not the very easy to hold on to the concentration level of keeping the numbers insync without them transforming on you. It takes a great deal of concentration and I know you can do it Howetzer just keep trying.

I will. And thanks for your continued support through out this thread other wise I would have quite.
Do you think of a whole # like ex- (242)-867-5309 or one at a time?

Yep but I don't visualize it. I just know the numbers by hard. Just like someone who is close to you who's number you know by hard. Try not to visualize the number you need to dial just try to remain focuse on the dial pad and that the numbers are in their proper spaces. Then you dial out.

Don't worry Howetzer if it's taken a while. You're alot more determine than I am. I gave up a long time ago. I just can't capture the Lucidity on my own. I remember one Shared dream where Shadow and I actually tried to do this but the phone kept Transferring to other locations. He would Point to a particular area and then there would be a wireless phone floating in that area then once he started dialing it would dissappear right in his hands and he would have to make another one reappear. It was so funny.

But I hope you get it. And if so I would love to hear about your results.

ShadowNightWing, I finally got to try both of your propositions this morning.
I was taking a nap and I felt myself start spinning then I open my eyes and I'm in my room and it's dark like it is at dusk and no lights are on. After I climb out of bed I have to fight the blankets, they had me by the arms and wouldn't let go. After I got free from the evil blankets and check myself out, observing what clothes I'm wearing and stuff, I got to my phone.

I called home, hoping my mom or brother would be there, the buttons were very clear but the 0 and 2 kept switching places. The first time there was just a click and then silence, a second time and I get this thumping drum-and-bass techno coming out. On my third try, there was silence again, but just as I was hanging up I heard someone inhaling as if they were about to speak. Not wanting to spend the whole dream punching in numbers, I moved on to the handstand.

I did a hand stand, closed my eyes and counted to 7 then opened them. The only thing unusual was that I was able to do a handstand, when I opened my eyes, I was still upside-down in my room.

There was so other really cool stuff in this dream too, like I flipped my neighbor over my head and laughed at him, then I flew up a bit then dropped through the floor to the girls floor below. I woke up just as I was introducing myself to this girl. d'oh!

I had the longest LD I have had so far last night. I think it actually lasted like 2 hours and a half(from about 8:45am to 10: 15). During this time I was trying to get to a certain person(I was with them for a while before but the dream suddenly faded before I could do anything about it . Fortunately, even after it had faded, I was able to rub my hands and return to a dream scenario, but a different one)

Wanting to find her again I decided to call her up. I asked some random dream guy what her phone number was and he gave me one(which by the way was different from her phone number in the waking world)I found a phone and remembered this thread. I wondered what would happen and, since I was having problems getting all the numbers where they are supposed to be, I just dialed as if the numbers where all placed correctly. Some guy answered(I assumed it was her brother) and he told me that she would meet me where I was.

I hung around there for a while but she didn't seem to show so I just flew away. I'm going to have to try this again some other day...

Now thats different Truthbearer. You know whats funny about Lucid Dreaming. Like lets take your scenerio for a moment. He said she was on her way right? She never showed. So basically she stood you up. But see this is the beauty of Lucid Dreams. Even though she never came. You Didn't give a Damn did ya? haha.... I know I wouldn't have cared either. You should've flown to her house and asked her what the Hell was taking her so long? No ill feelings in Lucid Dreams thats for sure. The World would be a better place if Lucid Dreams were our waking world and our waking world was some kind of freaked out dream. Nice one, I haven't been focusing on it too much but Im going to try it again myself. Tell me about it when you play it out again during your LD.

First night when me and my friend tried dreamreacall
He called me in his dream
He said that He couldn't fall asleep, then in his dream I told him
Try falling asleep when you are sitting up..

I will, just have to remember to find a phone again...

By the way, your sister told us you would be away for a while, so welcome back, man!

Im not even going to go through unanswered post its overwhelming. And plus I just don't have the patience. I missed home Miami's not a small city but New York is just way to busy and no relaxation. Thanks for welcoming me back. See ya around.

Oh and I see you've been having a Post addiction huh? Man you're over 1500? Have I been gone that long? So much has changed around here. haha I'll catch up to ya sooner or later.. Later!

Yeah, I am trying to be the new lowercase, just cause he's so cool

Glad you're back man, its great to have a lucid expert among us...

Sweet but the lucid expert was here all along. thats you bro!

Hey wait I wanted to be the Next Lowercase. Whats the Big Idea???

We should start a Lowercase wannabe club...we can all copy his avatar and sig and post in response to every single topic...


P.S. I still have a lot to learn my friend...

Hey all I've stumbled on something pretty interesting during my LD experiments last night. Try this out one night during your LD. While you're in a Lucid Dream Find a phone or make a wireless phone or any phone appear whichever one you like. And concentrate on correct formations of numbers/buttons meaning, make sure that they look normal once you discover that all numbers are in their correct place Dial someone Close to you, and watch what happens. haha You're going to Love this.

YEEEHAAAA I did it ShadowNightWing

5 months later, but I did it last night. I had three Lucid dreams last night. The third one I fell to sleep with the predetermined # who was my friend. My Lucidity was high so the numbers were not jumbled like last time. So when I called my friend Shawn was suppose to answer but instead his mother did and was upset because I called at 3:30 in the morning. It was not what I had planned but i still consider it a victory.

Nice Job Howetzer!!!

Are you sure you were lucid and not just delusional and called the guy at 3am??

Guess the results aren't the same for everyone, as it was once thought...it doesn't make it any less interesting though...

I actually pondered over that one truthbearer. As I laid there and thought about my dream, I realized that she, my friend's mom, is one of the nicest people on earth and she would have answered with worry rather than anger at first. And asked me if everthing was OK. However I stilled called him later in the morning to make sure.

ShadowNightWing. My level of lucidity seemed very high, for me. Her voice sounded Identical to that in real life. All I remember is feeling excited when I heard a dial tone but I felt guilty afterwords because she was mad. Odd. Knowing I was in a dream you would have thought that would not have bothered me. Anyway I do not recall noticing a change in my surroundings. I hung up the phone on the same reciever and same desk. That is where I go blank.

Thats the one thing that could be a downfall. Once you attain lucidity you gotta keep your cool about it. Getting too excited could do one or two things 1. You could Pre-awaken yourself and 2. you could have a false awakening which means that your Lucidity level has vanished. So keep cool about it once you get there. If you want to remember while you're there try the High Level Lucidity Technique I mentioned earlier. Try to limit yourself to talking to your dream characters also, This could cause you to slip back to regular dreaming. Try Flying that could keep your Lucidity level at it's peak.

also i just remembered, when i was young i had a dream i was thrown into a pit of alligators. When i was in the pit i realized i was dreaming and they couldnt hurt me so i lauged at them while they bit me. Is this like a LD?

Man that is definately it. Let me ask you this. Have you ever at anytime had a dream where you awakened yourself from that dream intentionally? If so these are true signs of the Natural Lucidity ability.[/b]

Great! I am working on getting my dream recall better, its severly faded over the years. When I was like 7 years old, I relized that I was dreaming (ddin't know it was called lucid back then) and I believe there was a holiday or something. Without any previous experience I was able to summon a large wood-chipper, because I always wondered what it would be like to go through one. I jumped in, felt extreme pain as my body was run through the blades and woke up. Not quite sure if this is exactly what you mean, or if you mean thinking "I want to wake up!" and doing so.

Dang, I juz realized this topic has been spanning for about 5 months!!!

I remember reading it when it was new, I'm surprised it's still goin.

Hey, ShadowNightWing!! You're so hyper with these LD experiments, and you make'em sound so easy. How did you get so good? Was the lucidity journey hard? I remember U sayin you can go lucid at will...I'm really interested... Thanks!
