Thread: Summoning

Try turning around. and saying when you turn back around that object will be there. Try to Imagine a door, then in the door you can summon anything....
try flying into the sky and see if anything appears, just know that it is your dream and you're in control so anything can happen that you want.

Both of you are saying doors so I'll give that a shot next chance I get! I'm starting to think that I just can't handle changing so much at once. Is it true that there are levels of lucidity which correspond to the level of control you have in the dream?

Sure. There are are times I know I'm dreaming but I can't even control my own actions and thoughts much less the environment. Technically that is still a lucid dream but I don't count it really, not on my LD number for the board at least. Then there are other times where it seems like I go with the flow and don't mess with the plot much, but I'm still changing small things on the fly and trying to make the world bend to my will. And then there are the ones that make me feel like I'm just as aware if not more so than I am right now, and like a god of my own universe lol.

I haven't had all that many LDs but that's the way it's been for me so far. I'm sure there are more levels than that if you break it down... The ones I keep track of are in the higher levels, the ones I have no input at all might as well be a normal dream to me. It seems to be all about the clarity and awareness you have during the dream.

yes there are levels there are some videos I think you should watch, I will link you to the first one, and the rest should be in the suggestion bar :3

Thanks a lot! Those videos were very interesting... I always thought of lucidity as levels (or layers as used in the videos) - sometimes I have more control while other times I'm only aware that I'm dreaming and can do nothing to change things. I guess I should work on transitioning from a lower layer to a higher layer to gain more control!
