Thread: My DILDs instantly teleport me home!

99% without fail, whenever I have a DILD, the instant I become lucid I automatically end up back at home no matter where or what I was doing prior to becoming lucid.

This is not even intentional, it just happens.

I don't mind this a bit. Actually I find it rather convenient seeing as my home and yard are well suited for my "regular" lucid routine.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I've noticed that at least 50% of my LDs lately occur in my house. I don't think it's that they teleport me there, but that it's just where they start. I also find it convenient, since it's easier to do things when you know your surroundings as well as I know my home. For example, instead of having to summon objects, I can just remember where in my house something similar to what I'm looking for is found, and go get it.

lol believe it or not, same thing happens to me usually... i realize im in a dream, then have an RC right in my bed. usually.

That's a false awakening, if you're "waking up" in your bed. Which is good for LDs.

While I’m not teleported there, 50% of my LDs seem to be in my home. While this is kind of neat messing around in your dream home, I prefer the ones that are set in a little more exciting and interesting locales. Like standing on top of a giant dam spanning kilometers into the sky, looking down on a lush green valley surrounded by purple mountains . Don't have ones like that often, but better than just my old house.

Try dream spinning to change the scene. Or create a jetpack and fly there

Haven't been able to change the scene with spinning so far, i just stay where i was initially (though it is useful when i feel myself about to wake up). Will have to give the jet pack a try though if i can manage to fly without waking up in the process.

Allocate a specific room in your house to the "exit room" its like a hologram chamber from star trek. Press a few buttons outside it then step thoguh the doorway and you're somewhere different.

haha tried that one too, but since i know the whole layout of my house and yard, if i walked through a door that was, say against my upstairs wall, i'd just fall into my backyard. I'll have to use more willpower in the future though and just expect to come out somewhere different.

I tried that once. I ended up charging dramatically into my bathroom.

I find it's easiest to spin as you're being "teleported" - tell yourself you will stay where you are and spin, works for me. This has happened in all bar one of my DILDs and usually if I let myself get home I lose lucidity and forget to RC (I'm working on the RCing), although if you can stay lucid it may not be a problem anyway - just imagine a door behind you that can lead you to wherever you want and when you turn round it will be waiting for you.
