I went lucid last night. Almost immediately I tried my personal dream goal--to enter my worst and recurring childhood nightmare. I couldn't do it. I flew instead. I know I can fly. |

Thanks, I will need it with my lucid controlling luck. I did have a lucid, only fragments though, I was in the right direction. I'm getting more magical/myth dreams. So close! I'm deciding to give myself multi goals, giving me a higher chance to remember one of them when lucid. |

Well Rman, The demon appears by a portal that is a ring of ashes. You could try transporting there the same way! Make or find a ring of ashes and use it as a portal to your own basement where the demon would follow you. |
|
A lot of people talk about difficulty with flying and I think I have a tip that can really help. |
|
That would be nice if I could (that is not to say that I can't!). Last night I drew a circle around myself, but no ashes appeared. I realized I should have made a ring for the demon to appear. I tried, but it didn't really work either. |

I understand why you want to have multiple goals. I used to want to control my own magic or powers, but now I think having a DG help me with dream control is a good idea. I believe that sometimes the suggestion needs to come from a different dream character. Then you won't believe that "you" are trying something that "you" made up. If someone else suggests it, you might believe it is true, and the confidence it offers will be what you really need. |

Yeah, I know how you feel. I WILDed last night and didn't get around to my goal either. I went through a trap door in the floor, intending it to be a tropical island on the other side. There was a lot of sunlit grass, and I knelt down and felt it to try and stabilize the dream, intending that I would be surrounded by rainforest when I stood up. But the dream dissolved anyway. |
|
I was discussing this with someone else today. I want to have someone else in my dream tell me how to conjure my powers. It won't feel like I came up with the answer of how to do it. Then I may have the confidence. |

It would be weird if you would succeed in teleporting via ash circle and the first thing you would see is young yous terrified face while he turnes around and runs up the staircase. Then you would look down and see that you´re a demon. You would run after him to calm him down, but that just scare him more. Then he would disapear and you´d understand what you just did. |

An update from me. |
|
That's great! That would be so funny if that happened. Of course, now we've been talking about it, it just might. |
|
For everyone having trouble with magic or flying I have another tip. |
|
Yes. I here what you are saying. Intent, practice, play, imagine. It is all a matter of putting your dream goals into your conscious mind. These things visit you in your dreams. I will play as you recommend. |
|

Kind of. What I'm suggesting is to treat the lucid like your imagination. When you were little I'm sure you built a fort either in your house or outside. Was it just a pile of pillows and a blanket? Was it just a ladder up to a wooden platform in a tree? Or was it a high security reinforced base that only secret agents could enter? When you looked at it, you wanted to see the highly fortified professional safe house...so you did |
|
Yes, I agree that my fort "was real" and I chose to view it as the super reinforced one. I did play care free imagining the impossible as simply what was happening. I also understand that it must be easy; I will not beat my lucid into submission. |

I want to talk to a DC, but preferably my dream guide cause I haven't met him or her yet. |

Last night a DC told me to pretend with my Dream Goal. I pretended I was shooting fireballs from my hands. Later in the dream, the DC pointed me towards my daughter. She had a lighted ball which represented a fireball to help me pretend with a decent visual. |

You guys, I had my first lucid dream in like six months, out of nowhere! I just checked my phone in my dream and realized I was dreaming. I tried to remember my dream goals that I had written down. I was supposed to try and find my DG, but instead I ended up doing something else I had written down: calling myself to try and ask my subconscious questions. Well, it wouldn't work, so instead I looked at my dream-version friend Alyssa and said, "hey, you're a projection of my subconscious, right? So I can just ask you questions!" She nodded and I took out a pack of tarot cards and tried to get my answers from them, but she didn't even look at the card and answered my question very robotically and scientifically, so I figured I didn't even need the cards. |
|
Sigh. I'm lucky to even recall one dream per 3 weeks. Let alone have LDs. |
|
Sorry about that JussiKala. I have heard B vitamins may help with that. Maybe it only helps with having them; I don't know. It couldn't hurt though. |

I've been having some recall issues as well, only a few fragments a night. I had a lucid last week, but I never remember to stabilize, so it was pretty short. I started to fly, flapping my arms as wings but I didn't change into a bird at all. It's funny that you mention the pretending thing, rebelseven, I always pretend in real life how I want my lucids to play out. Good thing no one's walked in on me while I do that though |
|
Good try ohmeej! Not quite what you intended to do, but you're getting close. I called myself on the phone once. It was a very interesting experience. |
