Shapeshifting and Flying - Have you?

[thedreamingwolfess]

I want to know who's Shapeshifted and/or flown. If you have, please share what it's like! I find these things interesting. I am going to try to have a LD tonight and I want to do one of these things, but first, I want to have at least a rough idea what it'll be like. I'm thinking I may shift into a winged wolf; two things in one. Saves me a little time. ^^ So, let me know! I think this would be interesting.

I did a study on werewolves in dreams to see what the major triggers of werewolf dreams were. Besides the creepy woods at night and spooky old cabins, the main trigger was anger. If you want to shapeshift to beast form in a dream, let yourself get really, really angry and violent.

I shapeshifted into a wolf before and grown wings, not in the same LD though. I used the method in the movie "Blood and Chocolate" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxxVYmX5iy0. Cusp is right about using anger to turn into a werewolf, it is easier that way for me. I can't explain growing wings though, I've only done it once and it hurt alot!

I somehow manage to shapeshift all the time. Sometimes without even doing it willingly. Unleash the Beast ... "Watch This!" I rolled up my sleeve, and my hand started growing and pulsing. My fingernails grew into long claws, and my skin sprouted dark fur. The wave of fur moved up my forearm, and my muscles twisted and grew. I pulled my shirt off, and looked down to see my chest muscles swell and sprout dense dark fur. I was werewolfing out pretty hard. I felt my chin extend into a snout, and my teeth grow into long fangs. I fell down on all fours, and could feel incredible strength and power. I knew I was a terrible beast. Strangely, I stayed in this werewolf form, and finished dinner with my friends. They believed it was a dream, and were throwing me food to catch in my wolf's mouth. It was a great party. Towards the end, we were packing up the leftover food to take home. I grabbed a whole uneaten pizza to take home to my girlfriend. I thought she would love it when she woke up in the morning. I also gathered up all the toys to give to my little brother at his birthday party the next day. Halfway out the door, I remembered that I could not take anything with me to the waking world. This frustrated me. I took the bag of toys, and tossed it out into the landscaping. All the toys scattered in the bushes, and I saw a bunch of little kids run over to pick them up. I was still holding the pizza box. I used my werewolf strength to throw it out like a frisbee. As soon as it left my hand, I felt myself rip apart physically and mentally. A fearsome looking black wolf leaped out of my body, chasing the frisbee-pizza across the lawn. I remained standing, with my arm outstretched from the throw, but I was now completely human. My consciousness was in both places at once. I was watching the frisbee fly away, and the powerful wolf chasing it. I also felt myself in the wolf's body. I could feel all four of my legs pounding on the wet grass, and could see the frisbee flying just out of my reach. I leaped in the air, and sunk my fangs into the cardboard box. I also watched from my human body, as the wolf jumped to catch the pizza box. It was very strange. Just then, a group of kids brought me back the toys I had scattered in the bushes. I explained why I had thrown them away, and told them to keep them. When I turned back around to look for my wolf, it had vanished in the darkness.

Okay, anger and frustration, check. Didn't have an LD last night. -__-' I can throw that into it. And I can summon up a DC that I really hate. ... Maybe do something mean to them in animal form Robot_Butler, I think that's really interesting. They believed it was a dream, and were throwing me food to catch in my wolf's mouth. Haha, that sounds fun. XDDD

I shape-shifted into a fish once in a non-LD. It was a while ago so I can't remember all the details, but it was relatively simple. I essentially shrunk down to the appropriate size and sprouted fins. Actually, it took place when I was watching something on a TV which I knew would cause me ot change shape. It didn't last too long, though. As far as flying, it's a fabulous sensation! Being lifted in the air and over the ground below, feeling the freedom from being confined to walk all the time, the wind whipping by your face and through your hair. It's fantastic If you need some ideas on how to get up, check out the Dream Flying Tutorial. There's no "winning technique," but simply a matter of lifting yourself in the air and moving yourself around in the direction of your choice. It's not an "advanced" technique, so don't worry about not being able to do it (if you haven't already). Go for it, enjoy it, and you'll be fine

[chucklesx123]

i once had a recurring transformed into something... horrible and indescribeable. thats why i decided to start lucid dreaming

[hgld1234]

I have flown in a nonLD before (or at least glided). It was the best sensation EVER!!!

[peacock486]

I've flown in a lucid before. it was like floating to places really fast. I've also flown out of the atmosphere. I'd like to fly an Apollo spacecraft though maybe a block 1...

[Wicked]

Most people who are into lucid dreaming probably flew at least once. As for shapeshifting... I remember once something vaguely... maybe I wrote it down somewhere... (no regular DJ is a bitch).

[Indeed]

I've flown before, and consider myself way to lucky. A DC taught me. I'd really like to shape shift, when my recall gets better.

[ClearView]

I wantz to shapeshift and fly. -CV

[kulananda]

Hey Clearview So whats up with that picture of the catholic? guy, is that the poop?

[Perlinfalcon]

I read this thread a few weeks ago, when I first started trying to have lucid dreams. I thought it would be pretty cool to shapeshift into a fox. I tried it once in a lucid false awakening but just ended up crawling around on all fours. Then I tried again last week and managed to turn my hands into paws and then the rest of my body. But I could see in my shadow that I still had my own head. Pretty strange. Never got the full transformation but did manage to master trotting around on all fours, which was fun.

[kulananda]

Things i've changed into: a fly a crow a werewolf I've flown more times than i can count Things i've had encounters with: vampires tree people the undead /ghouls sexy women my dead mother and father girl friends group sex wars killing enlightend masters bizarre terror dreams probably more

[JarHed]

Done both. Shapeshiftings easier.

[sleepingsheep]

Both my 1st and 2nd LD's on this site i experienced flight. it was amazing and unlike anything i could experience waking life. i'm not very good at it and only made it about 100ft off the ground and at that point started to just kind of paper-airplane my way down :/ i'm really interested in mastering flight though; and shapeshifting would definatelly be an amazing experience. maybe some bat-wings? and glowing eyes!

[PatHIverson]

Another interesting one. I seem to have adequate control, but I've never needed to or desire to shape-shift or fly. I guess I'll try it and get back to you.

[andrewp]

I've done both. Flying felt like it came natural to me. I just willed myself to lift off the ground. Then I was just swooping around. Shapeshifting was a little more difficult. For some reason, I couldn't just will myself to transform in to an animal or something else. It was weird, since I usually have great control over my dreams. What I did was I created a bottle of "shapeshifting pills". So you take the pill, and say the name of whatever you want to transform in to. It worked great. =D

[PatHIverson]

Interesting approach, I'll give it a try... Usually it never comes when I want it to, so I might be while...

[TerriblyLovely]

I am not sure if this is considered shape-shifting. I once had a dream where I was running away from the police because I was brewing an illegal insomnia potion (yes, I too have no idea where that came from) and I was in a car, trying to drive home when I somehow realised it was a dream. I jumped out of the car and climbed up a building, broke a window and climbed in. When the police looked through the same window I flattened myself on the ground so I was like a pancake and the police didn't see me. Not sure if that is shape shifting as I didn't exactly turn into something else. I would LOVE TO though. I've flown loads of times. I either just kick off the ground and will myself to float up or I jump down from huge cliffs or buildings. I think I prefer jumping Any shape shifting tips?
