Would these be examples of Passive Control?
Would asking a DC to give you something you want instead of struggling to make something big be passive?
If there is a specific power you want done, like open a portal to (...), asking a DC to do it?
I just thought of this weird idea from your "Acting" explanation, holding a directors cut thing to make it seem so real, and do something like nap it and say "queue the chase scene" be good?
Clocks in my dream appear to be correct in proportion to where the sun is, I wonder what would happen if I changed a clock and then went back outside...might help with the TOTM
Well sorry if I don't get it, you might of noticed from the first 2 that I use DC's, as I mentioned in my DJ, DJ control with no effort is my specialty, I don't even try, they just do. Oh, and is your acting explanation in the lesson meaning saying things like a part of a script, along for the next thing to happen? Sorry if I didn't get it.
Question:
What is your opinion about OBE? I believe that OBE and LD is one and the same.
I tried jumping out of a window in my dream but couldn't because gravity started to get so strong in the dream that my run was the speed of a walk. It was really heavy. help?
Yeah, you have nailed it. Using DCs is one of the main forms of Passive Dream Control. Though, I wouldn't suggest asking the DC for something in particular. Expect them to already have whatever it is you are looking for and instead of saying, "Will you give me a sword?" say "Hey buddy, hand me over that sword you've got there!" I also find that being at least semi-friendly seems to work better than being a complete asshole. I am really digging your directing the scene idea. I shall have to try that out for sure :D! Also, I think if you changed the clock to night time, then it would totally be night time outside in your dream. You should give it a try as well. That particular scenario is mixing passive control with active control...very cool idea.Quote:

- Take off your shoes. It may not be the gravity at all. It may just be your shoes. Several times I have fixed dream problems by simply taking off my shoes.
- When trying to stay in flight, try swimming in the air. It seems the mind is much more familiar with the swimming motion and it is a good place to start when learning to fly.
- I find that the arms out in front, Superman, style of flying works really well to. Look out at an object in the distance and imagine yourself being pulled toward that object like a magnet. This can help overcome the gravity issue and get your speed going
- One final note, remember that the "gravity" is all in your head. If you start to feel it again, think to yourself, "Wait a minute. There is no gravity in the dream if I don't want there to be. This is my dream and gravity will be normal and certainly not a limiting factor." Demand your mind to fix the gravity.
Just give these suggestions a shot and see what works out for you. Good luck!
I had few OBEs and I had LDs. For me, OBE is achieved, when you are trying to WILD and you end up with entering a dream, but staying in your bed. Than only option is to "Seperate" from your body.Quote:

Well, I just wanted to know your oppinion.
I keep waking up as soon as I become lucid.
Regarding your recent lesson , I have trouble with how high I can get. You give some suggestions about increasing speed but my biggest problem seems to be height. I seem to have a ceiling that I cant get above 3-4 stories high.
Any trick for that?
Yeah, try using the speed and acceleration techniques in a more vertical manner. Like picking out a cloud and trying to magnet yourself toward it. I would also suggest you attempt gaining height at an angle, as opposed to going straight up. If you choose to go straight up (which may or may not work better for you), hold your arms above your head and at the peak of your jump slam them to your side and shoot up even higher. Repeat this as necessary.
Edit: I'll add a height paragraph to the lesson, thanks for the question and feedback :D!
That arm pump technique sounds so awesome. This is really childish (but I bet it'd help in a dream), I can't help visualising my self doing it and shockwaves emanating from my feet and a sonic boom sounding as I'm propelled further upwards/forwards. :D
Childish...maybe, awesome...definitely :D! Yeah, I usually use that arm pump to get a burst of super speed.
