Thread: Do you have a base of operations?

Do you have a base in your dreams that you like to go to when you become lucid, or are you just a wanderer?

I usually always had my house as a base but when I was in the IOSDP dream group it would be a place surrounded by nature that had a tree as...I guess you could call the meeting spot.

I am a wanderer, but do have a planet I created where I like to go to relax... or have a nice fight with the lava worms if I'm bored.

I like to find myself above a calm ocean, a totally flat plain, or perhaps floating in nothing at all, sort of as a way to have a purely fresh starting point for the day's exploration.

I guess I'm sort of a wanderer sometimes as I'm inclined to explore my dream setting when I become lucid. It depends. At the time of typing this I have yet to successfully create a persistent dream world of my own choosing which I hope to make my base of operations at some point - a core which I can use to project into various persistent and instanced dream worlds. My lucid dreams tend to be what I call instances most of the time. I rarely incubate dreams because of my sleeping problems. However, most often than not I'm either in or end up in or go to my childhood house which no longer exists in waking. So, I guess it could be considered my base for now. It's comforting yet also a source of anxiety as I have had quite a few nightmares in that setting and while lucid I'm very aware of that and have to make sure to not let that take over my thoughts.
