Thread: the dreams of the gods

Well considering the meaning of God, that it can do anything, thus anything done is considered one of God's abilities. I will list some of my exciting achievements. I dragged the moon and the stars across the sky. I pulled out a joint from my pocket and lit it.

"The amount of stars visible was out standing and I was in awe at the amount I could see. I thought at the sky, "I wish for lightning in my hand." Lightning streaked across the sky in space, and then down into my hand. Every time I opened my fist, I'd let out a thunder bolt. I let a few fly in rapid secession, and then saw many statues of Zeus, because I felt like him and started thinking of him. I then shot Zeus in the forehead and then turned around, but I woke up."

Uh, when I first started had god-powers, but that was so long ago, don't even have a DJ entry. And it wasn't fun anyway "I want a new planet? Sure thing!" no effort, no fun "Enemies? Pfft vanish!" and thats about it, just had to think of something and it would be...

I'm just being frustrated that my dream control is unstoppable while I can't even properly LD.
I'll take note that I will establish myself as a god as soon as I can LD.
Then I'll post my update here.

Dudes thats not God like - thats just some standard LD fun. God - like experiences would be hard to explain in our poor verbal communication.

I sometimes use powerful abilities in LDs but I wouldn't call them God powers. I have felt like a god in LDs before though. In fact in the dreams that I feel like a god I am too amazed to even use any powers. For me what a God dream would be is one where I realize that I am the creator of everything in the dream. That it all exists solely because I exist. The world is mine and when I wake up it will be no more. When I realize that I am in essence a god I don't really do anything. It is in Lucids that I have less of a concept of it all being from me(even though I know it's a dream) that I use powers at my whim.

In my time as a 'god,' I've created a vibrant, living universe from an empty void; wiped out huge populations and vast civilizations, all at once, on naught but a whim; bested other powerful beings claiming to be gods, not through raw strength, but wit and skill; achieved self-awareness, allowing my will to manifest at a thought, transcending my need for physical form; made the fabric of existence my personal playground; observed and participated in the lives of the mortals I surround myself with, casually performing miracles and other displays of power that leave them either confounded, and thankful for my help, or scrambling in the wake of my violent focus. I've played with lives, dealt death, changed the flow of time, history itself, all from a raised position of disconnected immunity. I've been terrible, merciless, demonic, benevolent and helpful, a savior to many, a nightmare to others. I've become the void itself, gathering the lights of existence inwards, hanging a scythe above them all, ready to wipe it all away, but refraining, deciding to let everything continue onward.

You know. Normal, weekend stuff.

how old were you when you begin experiencing dreams like this? Do you remember the first dream?

I started catching glimpses of power about half a year into my LDing career, around the age of 18. I remember all the dreams I've listed above, the first, chronologically, being the universe creation one, which I experienced at WILD #20 or so. However, it's only in the recent years that I've truly come into my own. High-level, powerful control is the norm for me now, even in non-lucids.

I always exhibit powers of flight or super-strength. The closest I've gotten to actually feeling god-like was [wielding Mjolnir like Thor], but that's more like a superhero.

Mzzkc, that sounds awesome.

Are you a superhero? god? witch? what archetype are you when your power is maxed?

I like that you mention witch because one of my main goals is to become a witch in my lucids. :3 I've never done anything too amazing in terms of being a superhero or something, but I never think of the good stuff in my dreams. When I have a decent level of lucidity my powers don't seem to be limited in any way, in my first one ever that lasted more than a couple seconds (which was my second lucid) I was able to fly, use telekinesis, and shapeshift perfectly, honestly better than I've even done since then. But as nrg has said, the god-like experiences are hard to put into words. My favorite lucids have all been in third-person, where the fabric of reality is pretty easy to change. I've had lots of things like that that were similar to powerful psychedelic experiences and other ineffable things. If I thought I could have those lucids all the time I would never care about regular lucids again.
