try flying. i didn't do it myself, but it's a classic

Hi niguy, I have quite a few LDing experiences that I'd consider fun and memorable! I don't want to make a huge post, so here are just a few of them. They're quoted straight from my dream journal.

From this entry:

I saw a man in the middle hold a gun up to eye level and shuffle a few steps towards me. The gun he was holding looked like it was made entirely of lightweight metal, almost exactly like the one on the left. He was aiming for me and before I could do anything dream control-wise, he shot at me. I jumped up and curved backwards, just in time as the slower-than-normal bullet whizzed right underneath me. My jumping movement was fast, but as I arced backwards it became slow motion, which was an amazing sensation. I wasn't paying attention to the man who shot me anymore, and was simply taking note of how when I tried to move my arms, it would be like moving through a viscous liquid. I didn't try to move my legs, which felt like they were numb and floating. The slow-motion sequence ended in about ten seconds and instead of continuing to curl backwards and end with a backflip, I kicked my legs from in front of me to underneath me, and I landed upright.

From this entry:

I hung up, holding the phone in my hand. I looked at it with a tepid expression on my face, taking care not to lose awareness of my surroundings. I tensed my jaw, which felt incredibly realistic, and squeezed the phone in my hand, crumpling the metal with a sharp, loud 'clicking' or 'popping' noise. It didn't take much to make it completely implode; it was almost as if I were crushing tin foil, although the parts of the phone broke apart like they would in real life - in segments. I proceeded to raise my hand up in front of my face, eye level, and then just submissively drop the broken pieces of phone to the ground. I raised my eyebrow as I saw the pieces of the phone all stuck together in one ball as it fell, instead of falling away from each other, but then I changed the mood of the dream a bit.

From this entry:

I hopped over to the other side and started to drive. I pushed down on the gas pedal as hard as I could. The car accelerated to perhaps 30 km/h, but that wasn't fast enough; besides, I was slamming down on the gas. Instead of simply expecting it to go faster, I rammed my foot onto the pedal harder, and the car eventually sped up. It reached a top speed of, I'm guessing, about 120 km/h which felt amazing.

"Woohoo!" I exclaimed, once again becoming excited because I could feel myself being pushed back into my seat, as well as the wind.

From this entry:

I found three men in clown masks, sort of like those in The Dark Knight, except these were thinner and more sculpted to their real faces.

One of them pulled out a large black gun, looking almost like a rifle, and shot me once. The sound rang out like that a shotgun would make, but once again nothing happened; a bullet didn't even emerge. I ran at him and with barely any effort, took his gun. I turned it on him and asked the others, "anyone else have a gun"?

They shook their heads minutely.

"Fine." I took the gun and easily snapped it in half. "I'm going to go inside now, and when I come out, you'd better be gone."

yea flying is one of the things that I wanna try, im propely terrified of heights though, wud that be an issue in a dream?

its a dream. i think u can make yourself un-afraid of heights. idk, can u? u should ask GavinGill he's been doing the dreamer thing for a while. he gives great advice.

I'm terrified of heights too but flying is one of my favourite activities. Heights in dreams has never been an issue for me though, since it's not real.

well you dont really have to fly at great hieghts, ive found that racing a few inches above the ground is pretty thrilling too

hooray for flying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

see niguy, there's your answer :]




ps: I LOVE HEIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks thought it wud be good to check, before I manage to do it in a dream and ruin it lol

In the dream, it's almost certain that you won't remember your fear of heights. I had this one LD where I must've flown as high as the clouds. I was in fully-charged Iron Man armor, so there wasn't really an excuse for the dream to stop letting me fly. It's very fun; best of luck with it!

My only vivid lucid that has lasted more than 10 seconds.

Lucid portion

I thought, what the heck, I'll do a nose pinch RC, and it worked. That instant, I came lucid. What happened in nearly all of my lucids started happening again. The dream was quickly fading away. But I managed to pull it back up with mental effort. I was now there, in the ski lift, looking around. I was in awe of the beatiful scenery around me, snowy mountains, large trees, etc. From the back of the hill, a blimp appeared, a big one. It slowly flew over the lift I was on there. I was amazed at all the detail. Afterwards, I remembered I had some goals to do in my dreams. The first of which was to count fingers. Not a challenge in any way but to just remember to do it. I looked around and had difficulty finding where my hand was. It took a while but I found it. Started counting my fingers. There were 5 on one hand. And on top of that, the ghost image of my hand too. Kinda what would happen IRL if you crossed your eyes. And at that point, I could not sustain the dream longer. And I woke up.

Other lucids been short or I've not been very aware in them. :/

TBH, if I had even a single long lucid with total control, I wouldn't spend it on flying. On top of the simplest of goals listed in my signature, I have a couple of more complex things I want to do. Most deal with issues of self discovery and finding out exactly what would happen if I'd try to introduce the same elements to my dreams that have been plaguing my waking thoughts for years now.

Going on a rollercoaster that you make yourself is intense. I usually intensify the g-forces of the rollercoaster and the speed, but it tend to yank me out of the dream.

But I would stick to the simple things, like flying or whatever you think will give you a rush. Dreams are where you can experience the impossible, so what the hell! Crush a phone with your bare hands. lol

G-forces are awesome in dreams. o:

...Crushing a phone. Yeah. xP Super strength is a power of my new dream persona. And I'm going to rock them in my next LD (hopefully tonight >.>).

/New/ dream persona? Explain. xD

Well, I'm me but in my past lucids I've found that I always have invulnerability and strength, so I incorporated that into my character. In my dreams I am proud, intelligent, and very skilled at computers and sciences. I started a story based in the Marvel universe because I could put some cool scenarios together that involve blowing things up and smashing cars. I've incubated a scenario that I'm trying out in my next LD.

See? That's what I want to get out of all of this! Creating pre-written scenarios and "living" them out in lucid dreams! It may take tons of experience to be able to make everything just as I would like it, but the time and effort should be worth it big time.

That's awesome that you are trying this.

Flying is one of the best things ever! It's considered an easier task, is extremely rewarding and you never get tired of it.

I free fall out of a sky scraper and take off.

The feeling in my body is so exquisitely glorious. To be so incredibly free........... there is nothing else like it in the world. I do a front flip to be on my back and fall again on purpose, my stomach still doing flips internally. The cold air is so loud in my ears, I giggle with the rush of adrenaline and not seeing the ground speeding towards me, my body feels suspended and at the same time pulled as I plummet towards the roofs of the city.

I turn over at the last moment, pulling back and softly landing on my feet on an apartment building. I sink into a cross legged position

meditation is also incredible:

I focus on the details around me, inspecting the horizon, listening for DC's feeling the sunlight on my back, feeling my entire body, taking up the space that it was. I completely calmed myself down and let go of the expectations I had. I was just happy to be there, running my fingers over the rough pebbled surface of the roof.

I stood back up and stretched, just for the enjoyment of feeling my dream body. It's hard to relate the feeling of euphoria I had. I slowly drifted up. I thought about my goals, but I dismissed the thought. This was vacation for me

Here is where I turned the sun into the moon:

I fly straight up into the sky and look into the sun. I focus on it, I Feel the heat on my body from the light coming off of it and I connect to that feeling of heat. Following it back to the center of the sun. I think about extinguishing that fire, I use my force of will to put it out.

I get a close up of the surface of the sun. I see the surface start to steam and dissipate. I see myself in third person floating above my House1 and silhouetted against the brightness of the sun. The light goes out slowly as the sun loses volume. The sky turns pink, then purple, then blue, and finally black as the sun gets smaller and smaller, turning whiter and whiter until I realize, It isn't just going out. It is turning into the moon.

Fight with two giant fire-breathing Crocodiles:

I calmly walked up to the fire breathing Croc and let him try to bite me. He turned his head to the side and went for it. The height of his mouth on its side was the same height as me. I put my arms out to the side and stopped his jaws from clamping down on me. I felt him rolling around pissed off. I started pushing his jaws apart. wider and wider. When my arms were as wide as they could go I used telekinesis to keep forcing them wider. Both jaws snapped off completely leaving the Croc with eyes and and a throat hole. He started breathing fire but I easily doused it by bending the water from the river between us.

I let that croc roll around uselessly and turned to the other, still finishing off the guy he was eating. I do a front flip onto the back of the croc and he rears up like a horse. I wrap my arms around his neck and squeeze. He rolls over me again and again but I don't let go until I snap off his head completely. The first croc is trying to slither back into the river. I grab his tail telekinetically and swing him around. I start bashing his head into the rock wall breaking it apart until he has no head left.

I think that's enough examples, but I have also taken on an endless army of bad guys as a samurai, morphed into a Charizard, morphed into an owl, cloned myself and turned my clone into a mad berserker to fight my enemies, flown through a forest of truffela trees, and met Leonard Nimoy so many good things to do!

An endlessly fun thing to do is interview your DC's too, they can say some pretty insightful/hilarious/confusing/thought-provoking things
