Always have trouble getting to outer space!! Always!!

Every time I try to go to outer space in my LD's I always find an obstacle that keeps me from getting there. My last attempt as I flew above the clouds, I found myself having to fly through a thick covering of what seemed to be tangled tree roots . It was like the roots were its own layer of the sky! I guess that one was cool even though I didn't reach my goal of outer space. Another time I decided I would fly a jet, and the moment I spawned a jet a whole bunch of soldiers also appeared, and they tried to shoot me whenever I went near the jet. I did end up beating the all up, but by the time I had finished with them I had forgotten about my goal. AND another time I flew up the the sky, but it was like it was a ceiling with stars painted on it. The only thing I could do was create a portal on the ceiling, but I couldn't get it to take me anywhere I wanted. I always just ended up in some strange town.. I don't know maybe I'm just not supposed to go to outer space :embarrassed: but I really want to! Any tips anyone?

The times I've flown to space, it was almost instant. Try not to fly there, maybe just tellaport yourself there.
I would just do an extremely fast flight, I'd leave the ground and in a millisecond I'd be in space.

Perhaps the reason you cant get to outer space is because your subconsious dosnt know what it should be like so the "limit" of its understanding constructs itself as a physical limit like a ceiling or to try to lead you towards anouther path.

When you have some free time while your awake, try reading up about space and form an understanding of what it would look, sound, and most importantly how it would feel. for example the weightlessness and constant enertia.

by doing this you will give your subconsious some "material" to construc your space experiance when you dream.

I like to think of myself as a pretty accomplished lucid dreamer, but I have NEVER (as far as I can remember at this time) made it from Earth to space, while lucid. Actually, it pisses me off. LOL. I've tried numerous times, and something always happens to keep me from getting there. Either there is an invisible ceiling, I become unable to increase altitude, or whatever. One time, some mystery guy came out of nowhere and stopped me from flying to the sun to complete one of the tasks of the month, and we got into a mid-air fight, DBZ style.

It's the one thing I continuously fail at. :?

Yeah, that's what I figured. Your mind is trying to work out the "step by step" details of what it would be like to travel to space, and it often can't, so the experience receives a "glitch," that keeps it from actually accomplishing the feat. I've thought about trying to teleport myself, but I really want to get over the "barrier" thing and just fly from the ground up.

On a slightly related note: I feel that that concept has a lot to do with why so many people have trouble turning on lights and such in dreams. Your mind has to, at a moment's notice, try mapping out what is now a dark room, and be prepared to show it to you in full detail when you flip the switch. It's a lot to process at once, and sometimes it doesn't work out, as with trying to fly into space.

Yeah, I agree with the light thing too, though it is possible.

It's funny because I also had problems getting to space. It wasn't really getting to space, but being in space that was the problem. As soon as I would leave Earth I would wake up! I finally made it last time and orbited the Earth a couple times before landing in a different location. The time I did that I remembered how I always woke up, and I didn't want to go up, but I told myself "There is no way that my whole life I'm not going to have a single lucid dream without getting to space; I'm going to do it now." Mind over matter I suppose.

Honestly, I find getting to space very easy; see if this works for you. I just fly to space. I flap my way straight up and stare at the horizon. Like we all know, you'll see what looks like a dome of sky all stopping at this horizon. Now, imagine that the horizon moves with you. If you do that, the sky shouldn't keep going on and the dome above you will get flatter as you go up. I suppose you are making the "dome" smaller. Eventually you'll break free. This happens to me at a real world altitude of around 5,000 feet. I hope you understood what I'm saying, it is really easy and I don't think about it because my mind does it automatically.

At any rate, though what happens to you may be frustrating, just try to enjoy what your mind comes up with. After all, a painted, neverending ceiling of stars is pretty darn cool when you think about it.

you have some good advice here. if it were me i would try doing some research on outerspace and learning as much as i can and looking at all the different pictures their are, that way you brain has knowledge of the subject and will understand how to create an image of it.
and maybe you could try opening a door or going in an elevator or somthing to get their instead of flying.
Good luck i hope you achieve this!!

Have you looked at the task of the year yet? If you decide to do it the extra motivation may help.

I've only just started going into space to work on the task. But I don't fly, I teleport.

I flew out my window and straight up through space and to the moon.
I landed there and looked around and saw the earth. I started bouncing
high all over the moon. Then i flew back which was also freaky!
But when i find something obstructing me from getting to where im going
i call that a mental block and i like you try to find other ways of getting
there. Sometimes tho, i find, once ive put up a block, its very hard
to dislodge it. I only flew to the moon once and have never wanted
to go back out into space again. My LDs are very fragile and usually i
have something else in mind to do.

jeez... I'm scared to even fly higher than a building. My dreams are so real that I cant go too high even if I know its a dream:oops:

First of all, hi all, im new . A friend told me if i want to learn more about dreaming and controlling it, i should look here too.

I remember a dream in wich i was suddently on the moon. I did not fly to get there, i was just there . The horizont was black and the moon terrain looked like ice and i was sliding over icy platforms and hills with some streams of excavations in between .There were few people there wich i knew they were astronauts and technicians , and someone wich i knew from real life, i cant remember who it was thou. I was constantly jumping while slideing and jumps were growing bigger and bigger until i got afraid i could fall down and i woke up.

Another outer space experience i had 5-6 years ago as far as i remember.This dream was very short . Again i was suddently in outer space and i was floating,not flying . I was afraid of getting to earth because i could fall if i go in the earth;s atmosphere, and in the same time i fell like there is no air and il soon die because of that . There was like a portion of space i must walk to reach the moon and then back to earth wich i crossed in like a second; and i knew i must hold my breath to be able to cross that portion of space and i knew there was a high risk for me to die if i do it . I somehow crossed that portion while holding my breath and right then i woke up . Thats all i can remeber about this dream .

ps: sorry for my bad english .

I've never been off Earth through flight. Space is a long way up and my mind knows the problems involved, I guess.

I did manage to get to another planet recently by teleporting a bit of the earth with me. Maybe try that?

Hi, burton_bean.

Yeah, many people seem to have a lot of problems with flying too high. I'm one of those people. But I have also been to space quite a few times now.

I think people like us need to get creative. Teleporting has worked for me. I got to space once by diving through a mirror. Also while flying, just try to change the scenery and go directly from low flying to flying through the stars.

I think positive thinking helps. For example plan ahead the thing that you will do to get you there. Like, "When I fly through the mirror, I will end up in outerspace." And really expect it to happen. It will.

Good luck :).

yea i 2 have problems flyingg. i love the idea of human flight, mainly from superman returns and of course heroes! i always imagine myself flying in waking life, like alongside the bus i am on etc. but it doesn't work in dreams!! rather annoying. my next plan to fly and get in to outer space is to find myself a rocket thats just about to take of and cling on to it, like Clark kent does in smallville. once ya up there let go and cruise back to earth.

or

get yourself a dream tardis (time and relative dimension in space) like the doctor, that can do anything. :).

J.x

I can fly really good but never got to the clouds or outerspace. Last might I did a super fast "NEO" from the matrix style flight. I guess I should put it on my goal list to get up there.

Thanks for all the advice guys! I haven't been able to check this post for a while because I have been busy with my waking life lol. I did take Aryaxon's advice and started reading about space, and I think it should help. The plan for my next lucid is to try and fly there one more time, and if I can't make it, I will get creative like twoshadows said and jump through a mirror or something. Thanks again guys. I will let you know when i FINALLY get there!

I can leave the earth's orbit and enter space ok, my problem is with interstellar travel. I can't make it from space to other planets or stars. It's just too far! Gotta find a reliable teleportation method.

yeah I tried to go to space in a lucid and ended up at disneyland on the ride Space Mountain...hahaha. Though it was fun, it wasn't what i was going for.

Everytime I try to go to space, there is a black wall with stars drawn on it and I can't break through it. The only time I made it in space was a DILD where I was already on a space station when I got lucid. :P But space was just a massive black cube with stars drawn on all 6 faces. Oy vey.

Another issue for me is that I lose speed as I go higher so I can't get high enough for space.

keep us updated, i hope you make it their!!

hehe... no sound in space =P


but in LUCID space... now thats different!

Space is cool. I haven't been in a while. I think I may try that tonight, I haven't been lucid on another planet yet so I'll give it a try.

I just make it uncomplicated! I tell myself im going there and i just go,
I fly there in like super sonic speed! lol At the beginning when i first
started controlling my LDs i was a little afraid, but i got over that very
quickly. My dreams are very real as well but i just know im not going to
be hurt so i never let fear stop me.....hell ill walk through a burning house
if i feel like it....i know im not going to burn. :)

Update guys. I became lucid a few days ago and tried to go to outer space again, and I was actually exiting the earths atmosphere this time. Then I realized that the towers on the mountains near my house (that are actually there in real life) looked amazing, so curious me stopped what I was doing and went and explored on top of what seemed to be a hidden city on the mountain top. It was another cool LD, but still haven't reached my goal. I am not discouraged though, because my ability to recall and realize I am dreaming is becoming easier and easier to do.

This might sound crazy and someone might even have posted it before, but if you do what you did with the portal and end up in a different town, keep going up! I read somewhere that in someones LD they had to "go to space" like 12 times before they actually reached space (every time they got past the "barrier" said they were in another world and had to get past a new "space ceiling"). But eventually they actually made it out into space.

Baah... that reminds me of my last 'Grand Space Voyage' a couple of days ago. I took off from the ground, sped into outer space, only to find a bunch of crudely drawn stars and planets. And I've read a considerable amount about space. (That's why the stars and planets I saw seemed a bit disappointing, you see :D).

Ehh... As the vividness of dreams varies, so does the realism, and a lot of other factors. I guess we'll both just have to keep on trying.
