Thread: What NON DREAM CONTROL RELATED things to do

I have really good clarity and reasoning in a dream, but my control has been suffering, I need some ideas on what to do that requires no control, the only thing I can do is control DC's, that's it.

PS. Don't say have sex, thought I might add that since it would be in the first 5 posts most likely

It's ery easy to control everything. There are different techniques for actions you want to do. For example, if you can't fly, jump out of the window and you will start flying. If you want to create person just close your eyes and shout it's name. If you need to travel somewhere just close your eyes and visualize the place you want to travel to. You can practise ablities like telekinesis, pirokinesis too. ;D

Wait... 106 LD count. You probably knew all that xDDD

I just told you, i've been having less control lately

I just can't seem to do anything excpet DC control and the things I can do in real life

Have you tried just chatting with your dream characters? Or exploring whatever environment you are in? Some of my favorite dreams have been the ones where I am just exploring, letting curiosity guide me.

I find that examining the scenery can be amazing. The quality of the texture of brick, wood, concrete, asphalt are unbelievable. There are so many irregularities, the texture is so lifelike. A wall of trees in the distance. If I focus on these things and fully appreciate the quality, it is an ecstatic experience in itself. Especially during high lucidity when I can fully appreciate that I'm looking at a product of my own mind...

There are tons of things you can do with people. Find some who are "powerful", if you got control. Several days ago I was in a high lucidity dream where I got to a lucid museum and briefly spoke to a curator. He told me "it's what you do with this stuff in real life what matters", or something along these lines.

There are forms of physical control that involve going through walls (glass is easiest) that I find invaluable in changing scene quickly. They do not require much control to execute. Climbing, while lacking grace seems to work reasonably well even at lowest lucidity.

I've been looking at scenery for the past 20 or so lucids, and I can't go through walls, the scenery isn't much special because everything is completely normal, other than the non dream scenarios i'm in, which are usually happier than my life.

I can't walk through walls either, it goes down everything being very near real life, normal physics, normal DC's (to an extent) and normal look.

I've read somewhere that veryy deep and vivid LDs can be hard to control, because it's too realistic. Try not to deepen too much maybe.

Estabilish passive control based on some item like hand mounted holo-interface to control the dream, works with me when i dont have much control.
Other one is to use "superior DC" like A.I. that governs over the dreamworld, which you tell what you want.
Or contact "DG" or other such DC and ask why you cant control your dreams.

EDIT: although it depends on your personal schemas how these work...

This is exactly right for me, if we're talking about schema's like the other guy, the schema of my dreams is always "reality". I fully know that it's a dream, but the theme is always reality... When my dreams were less vivid and more distorted, the schema was less realistic, so I had no problem there.

You know, the super DC is a good idea, I can like appoint a DC god I can control, I could probably do that

I could also ask the DC to give me the master control device
