Your new method of teleportation seems fun, I never thought of actually using other senses to enter another scene, I usually focus on sight, but its kinda hard.
By the way, how can you stay in the "void", if it ever gets dark in my dreams I panic and wake up :(
Oh man, such a great idea! Thanks, PennyRoyal! I can just study my hands up close, and behind them I can imagine... whatever I want! Very slick idea. I want to incorporate this immediately. The next time that I'm in a location that I can't work with, I will try this to help me teleport!Quote:

One key element is that I maintain awareness of my dream body. I do a lot of poking and prodding at myself, rubbing my hands together, checking to make sure my body feels real. The reason for this is that I want to stay very firmly rooted to the dream scene. I am trying to think only of my dream body. At that moment, it's all that's real. This seems to help bind me to the dream.
The trouble I had, though, was that I often couldn't go anywhere from the void. One thing that helped was a repetitive motion trick that Xanous used. My variation of it was to pretend that I was swinging a "gladius" (a type of ancient Roman sword.) This would sometimes get me to a new scene and was a huge help. But the sand trick seems to be even more specific.
Another great technique is to ask a dream character to pull you out of the void. It's amazing how well this works. I've tried it three times and it's always been different DCs (once NewArtemis, once a DC from a recent NLD, and once Julia Roberts of all people.) Easily the most exciting void exit! It's way cool.
Just think of the void as one more place. Probe at your dream body and connect with it. Even if there's nothing else around you, you are still there. That's all that matters. The rest can come later.
Lol, feel free to take any idea I throw out there. My LDs are so short right now I don't get much of an opportunity to use my control theories, I can live vicariously through you until I can get some longer ones :PQuote:
