Scenario shifting

**WDr** · 09-05-2011 08:53 PM

Ok, I know I've asked a lot of questions lately, but I'm in a very active lucid period (kind of) so I'm asking another one:

Does anyone here on DV have some experience with scenario shifting in lucid dreams?
F.ex: I'm dreaming that I'm in a cinema, and wants to be on a police station in a policeman uniform( just an example...) What do I do? I know how to shift location and stuff, but I'm struggling with the whole scenario shifting with clothes and all. any tips?

Have you tried closing your eyes, clearing your mind, and spinning?

There are two things that you want to do in your example - be in a police station, and be in a cop outfit. The first thing to do is change the location, which can be as simple as walking through a door. When you open the door, be absolutely positive that the police station will be on the other side. And visualize it as much as you can! When you go to a new room in your house, you know exactly where the walls are, how big the room is, etcetera; try to think like this when you change locations. Be sure of what you want the place to look like.

As for the outfit, you're already wearing it... right? Just pretend you're bored and decide to spin your gun a few times; passively grab it from the holster on your side without a second thought. Don't make it a big deal, or think things like "okay, here goes...". Just do it.

Imagining the weight of the gun and what it feels like is also good.

You can use expectations and visualizations to do just about anything in terms of dream control, so go nuts!
