Thread: how to get to fancy places in lucid?

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.

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
