Thread: Creating places in a Lucid Dream...?

Yes.... You can picture anything you want.

Simply try your best to visualize how it makes you feel and why you relate to it.

Ask yourself why you like it and what it makes you think of. Then concentrate on the related characters, etc. and it should manifest.

If you have a vivid enough idea of your fantasy world in your mind, you may be able to incubate it as a dream and find your way to it in a lucid dream. I, for one, have a limited ability to call specific details into being...if I really want something, I'll often get it, but what I get is a mystery beyond what I specify. If I want a man or a child, I'll get a man or a child, but I'll have no idea what it looks like until I meet it in my dream world. If I want a specific person, like a character in a previous dream, I may be able to find him/her if I look hard enough, but how I find him/her is a mystery until it happens.

So, if you want to visit a certain aspect of your fantasy world, it may help to be very specific about what you want.

And, possibly, if you visit part of a fantasy world in the making in your dream, and your subconscious fills in details that you did not specify, you might be able to use those details to flesh out your fantasy world and thereby help with your writing. Don't know what a witch looks like? Find her in a dream. Don't know what a castle looks like? Find it in a dream.

You KNOW you will be able to LD one day.

And soon!




I always wondered what it would be like to LD in a fantasy world that you wrote about... I read alot of fantasy, and get such vivid images sometimes... to actually live that would be amazing.

yea sure you can you can even turn your LDs medieval or antasy adventures or anything you want, its your mind dude , you control it....


im sure you will LD someday, and soon .....
as soon as you start getting involved with this things you will get one eventually

Thanks for the encouragement guys!

Try WBTB. That worked for me. And pick a simple RC you can do all the time. I like putting my finger through my other hand.

I can't wait til this weekend when I can sleep in.

Of course.

Yeah, definitely! I'm working on my own location right now, for when I have better control over my lucidity. It's going to be a sort of dream central, where I can find people, go places, practice skills, etc. Just as a kind of tool to help my mind create.

I write fantasy, too, and I think it'd be awesome to explore some of the places I've created, as well as those of other writers.

The only limit is your imagination.

Yes, I've done this on one occasion. You need to be creative at changing scenes in the dream, to get to where you want to be, but it definitely can be done, especially if you have a specific place in mind that you can visualise clearly. Recently I managed to visit the city of Gondolin from Tolkien's The Silmarillion, that was quite an exciting LD (to say the least...)

Hi, I haven't created any fictitious place when I was lucid but IMO U'd have to start with something real and existing first because the place I wanted to go to is a cartoon and the closest time I ever been there was merged with places I'd been in real life....kinda trippy...a mix with reality and cartoon animation...
