In my LDs Iīm usually locked inside my room, or inside my house. I have to find creative ways to get to the yard. I usually exit by jumping down from my balcony. But even if I get to my yard, I canīt get out of there. Something ALWAYS stops me.
This is my plan: Get out of my house and my yard IRL. Then itīs easier to dream of other places.
Do you people have this prob?
There is no problem. You can leave your house. I had an LD where a giant German Shepherd dog was jumping at me while I was hanging off of a roof. All I could do is hold onto the ledge and I just couldn't gather the strength to escape. Then it hit me. I don't have to escape, so I just let go. The dog ripped me apart, I could feel it. I don't remember if I was in pain or not, all the experiences were blurred and I remember being the dog and myself at the same time. But the point is that I had, for a few moments, reached some sort of enlightenment. I don't know if this helps you in any way, but all I'm trying to say is that you don't have to be stuck in your house. All you have to do is get rid of the perceived imitations of our everyday lives. In a dream you don't have to survive and neither do you have to be trapped in your house. Next time this happens to you, try to grasp the bigger picture, it worked for me, in some strange way ;). Good luck!
That's all there is. If you keep thinking that you can't get out of your house in lucids, it will continue to be true.Quote:

Man, I get this so many times. I'm usually trying to jump out of my window, phase through my walls, or teleport. And if all else fails, I have to leave my house the normal way. Walking. *shakes head*
It's because you expect to be there. What you could do is before you go to sleep, picture your bedroom, but have it lead to somewhere else. Picture your door leading to wherever. Think of it as a portal, not another part of your house. Maybe think of it like one of those Monsters Inc doors. Make it lead to Wonderland, Twilight zone, or Atlantis, whatever you want.
Again, it's all expectation. I've had this problem for a while, but I managed to have a lucid dream out of my house just this morning, so it's not an impossible thing to break.
lol, have you seen harry potter? Floo powder travel? Go to a fireplace and step in it and close your eyes. Imagine the place you want to be when you open them. Have 100% confidence the place will be there when you open your eyes.
I always jump out through my window
Ages ago, when there was a lucid task that you had to hug clairity, i could see her like 20 meters in front of me, and when i walked towards her, more monsters that i was fighting before hand came out of nowhere and stopped me, i was like "what the hell".
I could have just stopped to think about it and remembered it was MY dream and I was the only one in control. But I didn't because about 20 seconds after that I got woke up.:P
So do what I SHOULD have done. That should work.
Or teleport. Some people say when they spin round they end up somewhere else. But I personally would either just think myself to a new place or shout out loud "Teleport to new york" or what ever.
Are you agoraphobic? I don't get it.Quote:

Spin in a circle and imagine being somewhere else, all the while reminding yourself that you're dreaming. When you stop spinning, you should find yourself in a new location, away from your house. If it fails, try again. If it still fails, either you're not dreaming or you need a new method...this is the best advice I can give you.
Where did you pull that from? I live in country, so I spend a lot of time in my house.Quote:
