lucid induced through unseen forces

[catrina]

I was at a different house of my own. I was already semi-lucid. When i feel these "unseen" forces, i can go completly lucid. This is going to be really hard to explain but here goes... I had a stick in my hand, and felt that it had a force. I held it high over my head and willed it to stay there, while some kind of force held it there, i held on to it and lifted my feet off the ground, so i was holding on to this stick that was floating in mid air. Soon i didn't need the stick anymore, and i would just imagine the force. I remember i was laying on the ground, and i imagined this force in the balls of my fists, and i used it to help me up off of the ground. Has anyone else ever felt these forces? I know it's hard to explain, but i hope someone understands what i'm trying to write.

Now, I could be wrong on this one, but I think that those Forces might simply be your consciousness manifesting into your dreams as "aids," or in other words, a "force" which is meant to help you further grasp the concept of being able to do Anything. How familiar are you with lucid dreaming? Are you a beginner, or have you had quite a few of them? If you're kind of unfamiliar, I think what your mind might be doing is giving you a little extra 'push' in the metaphysical line of thinking. A lot of people, when their minds are extremely 'conditioned' to waking-life physics, use different little aids to help them accomplish things in their dreams. I recently heard someone's claim that, since they always had trouble with Willing themselves to fly, they would manifest tiny balls, one for each hand, and hang onto the balls while flying around as if being pulled by them. I think this 'force' you may be feeling is just a window to your unlimited possibility, and your mind is just trying to help you better your awareness by giving you the 'force' to lead you into 'normally unbelievable' directions.

that's exactly what it is... As for the flying situation at the end of your post, i do that sometimes too... I'll have a peice of wood or something in my hand in a dream, and if i hang on to it, i can fly.

I'd have to say, then, that your next project is convincing your mind of the truth. You have to come to the realization that "There is no stick" (at the risk of sounding too Matrix-esque) But it's true. Though these aids might help you in the beginning, in my opinion they could keep you from unlocking the full potential of your lucidity (if such a thing is even possible) The reason I think so is that, if you have to have something to help you fly, it might keep your mind from fully knowing that it's all your dream, and you don't need instruments to help you fly. And placing that kind of barrier on impossibility (though its a perfectly appropriate aid) might make your mind dependant on such things to do all of the other impossible dream things that you can probably discover how to do by just 'believing you can.'
