Thread: The Power of Playing Pretend

I tried it in a dream and it worked great idea wakingnomad.

Yes mine is walking down the street/driving/whatever and imagining that with a thought/gesture I can make any person/object/building/mountains shoot quickly up into the air and into space and out of the dream. Also imagine mentally blowing stuff up, and also that I have infinitely variable length infinitly powered beams of energy that shoot out of my fingers (sort of like lightsabers emitting from my fingertips) that can cut even the largest monster/army to shreds in just a second by waving my hand back and forth a bit. Also fireballs. I once did shoot a stream of fire while lucid to scorch some nasty dream spiders that got me lucid through their freakiness (how's that for a thank you!?). Have yet to do this in a lucid but in non-lucids I have shot colored beams of energy and I try to shoot lightning (just did this last night while flying, fighting the evil flying attackers).

I have found that sometimes I actually have more power in non-lucids than lucid dreams. I think in lucid dreams sometimes I think too much of my waking life, which makes me feel limited. I like to incubate dreams and dream power without concern of lucidity.
