How do you break away from reality?

[hello]

hey there, ive only had about 2-3 mildly lucid dreams and theres a problem i keep facing. I only manage to dream about places i see often in reality e.g. home, friend's house, school etc. Are there any techniques to start dreaming about fantasy locations or moving away from familiar locations.

Once you start being able to control your LDs, changing dreamscapes is a possibility. But that is considered more advanced LD control (in my opinion), so you'll probably have a lot of practicing ahead of you before reaching that level. Keep working on increasing the frequency of LDs to gain experience on how to stabilize the dream, and then move on to more advanced control, such as changing your location. The other thing you could try is dream incubation. This means that you visualize your dreamscape (or scenario) before falling asleep. Visualize yourself in this dream location and pay close attention to your senses - the more real the visualization, the better chance of you have of entering into that dreamscape. Hope this helps. Good luck!

You can do anything in a dream, anything at all, the only limit is yourself This is zombocom and welcome to you who have come to zombocom Errrr. Sorry bout that. But yeah, it may take more experience to really understnad what a lucid dream means, yea you can control stuff and do things, but the more you understand that you really can do ANYTHING you want, no matter how impossible it sounds, if you really believe you can do it, and that everything in your dream is there for you errrr, sorry im in a rambling mood today, so in the words of nike Just do it.

For example, If you perform RCs regularly throughout your day at school this habit will flow over into your dreams, so, when you dream about school you will remember to perform a reality check, and voila, you will realize you're dreaming Good stuff huh?
