[QUOTE="Doc 05, post: 227971, member: 11873"] DISCLAIMER: The following is Day 9 of a 10 day online lucid dreaming course I signed up for: It is developed, published and sent to me via email by: Chris Hammond, FOUNDER, WORLD OF LUCID DREAMING ACADEMY. The posting of this course is for your information and entertainment only and in no way endorses, promotes, or suggests any purchases, techniques, or procedures. It is up to you the reader to research, study, and understand any information presented and please make informed decisions prior to any action taken. Thank you, enjoy, and please act responsibly. [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Today I'm going to give you some super specific tips on the most fun and liberating aspect of lucid dreaming: actually controlling your dreams. Whether you want to fly to the moon, teleport to a fantasy world full of dragons and hobbits, summon your favourite movie star, or simply fly over the ocean like a bird – you'll need [I]control [/I]to make this happen. Remember, not every lucid dream you have will involve full control. Sometimes, you'll be aware you are dreaming – but will be merely a passive [I]observer [/I]of the action. Like a movie. [B]This is OK! Enjoy these incredible dreams too.[/B] Today we will learn how to take control of the dream environment and increase your chances of making the dream world take shape as you desire.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Controlling Lucid Dreams[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Here's a classic example of a question from a newbie lucid dreamer: [I]"I was lucid and I knew I was dreaming. But when I tried to fly, I couldn't lift off the ground, not even by a few inches. My dream refused to respond no matter how much I wanted it. Why couldn't I fly when I really wanted to?" - Amanda, UK[/I] If you've ever had a similar experience, you'll know how frustrating it is to be fully lucid, yet unable to control your dream. What is going wrong here? Well, it almost always boils down to one of two factors: [HEADING=1]Lack of Lucidity[/HEADING] Lucidity - or [I]consciousness [/I]- can be a slippery devil. If for one moment you forget that you're dreaming, your ability to control the dream is diminished. That's why it's so important to perform steps like dream stabilization (which we covered in our last lesson). [B]Indeed, sometimes you become so preoccupied by distractions in your amazing dream world that you can forget you are dreaming altogether.[/B] Sounds crazy? It's really not.

This is the part of you that produces all your normal dreams (and continues to co-create the experience even when you're fully lucid). In Amanda's dream, her lucidity was weak and her unconscious mind had other intentions for her dream. Flying was not on the agenda. Unfortunately, when you're stuck in this semi-lucid limbo, the unconscious mind tends to win over. You must maintain [I]awareness [/I]in lucid dreaming... Which is a mindset you can entrain every day while awake. [HEADING=1]The Expectation Principle[/HEADING] Your underlying mindset defines the way you actively control your dreams. If Amanda was fully lucid, then the problem was she didn't truly [I]expect [/I]to be able to fly. She had no confidence. In the back of her mind, her learned experience of gravity in real life blocked her ability to fly in her lucid dream.

Once you perform an impossible reality check in a lucid dream, it is much easier to expect other impossibilities too - like breathing underwater, teleporting across vast distances, and running through walls. You can have a lot of fun finding out what's possible :-) [B]Here are some other ways you could control your dreams using The Expectation Principle:[/B] [LIST] [*]Change the scenery from a desert to a tropical rainforest - by turning away and expecting it to look like your desired location when you turn back. [*]Travel through time 65 million years by stepping into a time machine and expecting to greet friendly dinosaurs when you emerge. [*]Summon dream figures or personal heroes by saying to the dream "I'm going to meet Lara Croft around the corner" and truly expect to see her when you look. [*]Find any dream object by reaching into your pocket and expecting to find it, or drawing a crude picture of it with your finger in the air and expecting it to come to life. [/LIST] This is a powerful lesson in dream control. Use it next time you're lucid - and you'll find these techniques really do work![/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
