OK, this thread is on control. Simply control. Like, how to do something in the LD that you just couldn't do! This is the thread to talk about all of your solutions. It can be anything from flying to teleporting to shrinking- anything. So, tell us what you've done, have thought of before, or post a dream of yours where you solved a problem-anything like that!
We all have read over those flying threads ("all"), and have read up on how certain people fly, but this isn't that thread. This is the thread where you can solve the problem where you just couldn't fly, but thought of a creative solution. I am not looking for the obvious answer of: just BELIEVE! For me at least, there is a different way to go about solving LD control issues. So, give me your ideas!
My suggestions are in red, since I have so much text! I have SO many, I'll probably get to more later! I may also say some "obvious" answers to solutions which many of you know of/thought of.
Flying. The obvious one. So, you're tellin yourself that you wanna go flyin, so you start to take off-only you just couldn't, no matter how hard you tried in telling yourself you could take off, after all it's a dream! Ugh! Well...here are some possible solutions to this dilema :
- Look at your feet, and picture them going off of the ground, up, up, up you go! Or, you could just look at something above, and imagine yourself being pulled to it.
- Ask a dream character for help. There's a couple of ways you could go about this:
-ask/"think" that the DC will help you with flying. Hold their hand, or be on their back! It doesn't HAVE to be awkward.
I just did this last night! I sometimes just don't want to mess with my flying not to work, in a sense, and go with this tried and true method!

-ask a DC to blow you up with air/helium (I didn't come up with this FYI, I saw this in a thread, and I think it's genius )
This dream is a combo of my two previous suggestions. It is part of the dream.

No worries, I have some tricks up my sleeve! I go up to this odd looking, old DC with a hat and large coat on. I ask for his help with flying. Instead of him guiding me, he gives me his coat (I love it when DC's do random things that you don't expect in LD's!) , then he pumps some air into it, aparently helium, because, I wanted to fly, so the helium carried me! I am going higher up the edges of this tall building.
-ask for him to tell you how to fly. You don't have to listen, but it could just get your confidence up a bit!
-Try to go up/walk up to something high, then fall, and you should be able to fly. In order to find something high, you could just expect to see it behind you or something .
-Find the control panel to turn off gravity!
-find pixie dust and sprinkle yourself with it!
Teleporting. Another thing that many of us do. So, you wanna go to the ice cream parlor, and don't want to be stuck in your stupid dream neighborhood, so you decide to teleport. You see a mirror, and hope for the best. Thing is, you then notice you're still here...
-The best thing, I find, to do, is just get near it, then close your eyes to teleport.
I did it in this dream, as well as many other dreams:

I see me at the back of it, still traveling through, behind the tv, and I had felt a little bit of the electryicity surge through my body! It didn't hurt, but felt cool!
-Find a new way to teleport. One awesome way to teleport is through a book, because then you can just try to close the book on you!
Did it in this one:

Someone else then gives me the suitable one. I go through it to see which picture in the book I want to teleport to. I find the right page, for some reason I wanted this page . There were the trees in it, but part of it looked kinda dark, like, "shadows". I gesture for the guy that I was kissing to come by me. I put the book on the floor, and put my body in it. My top is still out. The guy starts to come into the book with me, he is taller then me, so has his half of his body in. He doesn't know what to do with getting in the rest of the way, so I just shut the book, which brings him in.
-Many people find that making a portal is helpful, too, because then you REALLY can believe that it will work!
If any of you have any ideas of topics to try, shoot, or any issues. I'll see what I've got .
