Thread: how to get to fancy places in lucid?

Everything I have read says spinning is the right way to go.

when I was in a LD before, I tried spinning. However, It only made me feel dizzy and thrown me to my bedroom.

I've only had one LD so far, but i had to travel to get somewhere interesting. I became lucid outside my house and decided to fly anywhere I wanted to go. I figured it would be a lot easier for me than teleporting or something, as I'm already quite experienced with dream flight. I was able to fly very fast and everything around me sort of blurred until I got the sense that I was near where I wanted to be.

Posted this in another thread, applies to this as well.

So you have a lucid dream where you are in your house and you want to be in a different location. Everytime you open a door, turn a corner or walk down a set of stairs the only thing that causes you to still be in your home/neighborhood is your expectation. So they key is to trick yourself into expecting a different location.

The easiest way I have found of doing this is to go underground. Walk into your basement and look for a staircase leading you below ground. Walk down the stairs, and you will find yourself in a tunnel of some sort. Then look for another staircase going back up. Just as you get to the top of the staircase you will find a door. Before you open this door expect, believe and envision whatever type of landscape you wish to be on the other side. When you open the door it will be there.

You see you could do this already when you open the front door of your house, but the expectation is so strong that it will be your driveway and your front yard that it can be difficult to generate a new scene. By going underground, you have disassociated yourself from your own home, so that when you go back up you have a blank slate. Who knows what is behind that door which leads above ground? Therefore, it is up to you to decide what type of scene will be there upon opening the door.

If you get creative, you can view some very spectacular scenery.

In my first lucid I sunk through the ground and found myself free falling toward the earth. I then zero'd in on a building and crashed through the roof. I think I'm going to use this as my prefered method.

Thanks. I tried this method, but with an elevator near my apartment. I went to the first floor, but think i know this floor very well. It violated the expectation law. So I went to a different floor that I don't know well. I went on the 4th floor,my head thought of the beach at the same time. The elevator spined around and when it opened, the beach is infront of me

I have had success with this method. I was able to transport myself by spinning in a lucid dream, but when I arrived I was no longer lucid. However, when I sunk through the floor to my destination, I arrived in the desired dream remaining lucid.

I read this thread two nights ago, and had a lucid dream that night. I tried transportation by closing my eyes and imagining myself somewhere, but all that did was to end the dream.

One thing I have had a great deal of success with is incubation. I just tell myself as I'm falling asleep what or where to dream about.
