Is flying all there is? What else can you do when lucid dreaming?

Hi there

I don't wanna brag on here but I get Lucid alot of times. Whenever I get lucid I usually just lift off and fly, when I was young I couldn't fly that well and as I grew up and had more flying dreams I started getting better and better at flying. I found using my arms and hands helped alot in controlling speed and flight. Now I'm very good at flying. It is a skill you learn over time.
But all I do is just fly around, do tricks and interact with imaginary people. What other things can you do in Lucid. I heard you can open up portals to other worlds but I haven't been able to materialize things that I want in my dream. I have been able to teleport into another building though, that was interesting but not much fun.

Running out of ideas. What can you do?

I could list a few to them, but this has over 2000!

Check it out:
http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/1000-t...-dream-104556/p

Basically... anything :)

I read that and its funny, I don't feel like kicking Chuck Norris and Justin biebers ass. And in anycase I don't have good skill to materialize things like this in dreams.

I'm looking for serious discussion on lucid dream skills that you can build on like flying.

You could try shapeshifting. or summoning those are kinda like skills.
You could start summoning by imagining something is behind the corner or a door.
Or by asking where someone is.
Well I hope you find something nice to do. :shadewink:

Never shapeshifted before. I have no idea how to even start. Thanks sounds like an idea. like your goal btw ;)

Invulnerability is one of the coolest things you can do in terms of having powers. You can hurl yourself off cliffs and flips cars, stuff like that, without being hurt. You can get into pretty much any kind of creative situation. How about manipulating the earth, raising continents, or controlling water/fire?

There's actually some pretty cool ideas in the 1000 Things to Do in an LD thread; if you continue reading, you're bound to find something! :)

Thanks what is that music video with Jared Leto in your avatar? I was trying to remember it for a girlfriend.

No problem!

The music video is "Hurricane".

thanks not very keen on flipping cars off cliffs though but know what you mean.

well... sex.

THERE I SAID IT.

here, i'll list a couple favorites here:
-breath underwater (scuba dive kinda-sorta)
-turn invisible and screw with people
-super strength
-if your an artist, sculpt with the earth
-screw with time.

read some fantasy books or do things from your favorite show or movie. Do all the things you always wanted to do. Explore some areas like dungeons, caves, cities, other worlds, etc. Make up your own characters and make up a story. Keep with the plot of the dream before you got lucid.

sex

edit: FUCK! sniped

You can do anything what you want :D

Make a square shaped dodecahedron.

No problem.
(Not quite sure about how to shapeshift, maybe you should try to change your bodyparts first, before going to full body shapeshifting.)
I was also thinking about walking away from the car with it blowing up behind and looking AWESOME. :shadewink:

Nice, Finlander! Epic explosions rock... B)

Exploration's always fun, too. It's incredibly fascinating to just see the details of objects and people, looking to see which features or textures something is missing or includes... Even the most trivial of things can be observed, like flowers and dust bunnies (2 things I've looked closely at before). Look at something and see if its appearance changes when you command the dream to do something to it, like "make X clearer" or "make X a different color".

In terms of favourites I've found slow motion, angel wings (new!) and telekinesis the best! And yeah I agree Exploration is pretty cool, although I find things tend to surprise me and wake me up :wtf2:.

Here are some of my goals, You're very lucky to have accomplished a lucid dream, me, well, I'm still working on it.

1. Make someone I really hate appear, beat them with my weapon of choice.
2. Play god.
3. Make friends with a DC
4. Ride a dragon

Anything you want. Laws of physics no longer apply. You make your own physics. You could walk straight up through the air while you turn into a turtle.

I have a large goal list if you want to poach it: Lucid Dream Goals - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

You could find your dream guide. You don't need to attach any spiritual or religious meaning to it. It is a fascinating experience to conjure up something in a dream that is supposed to be wiser and more powerful than yourself and to try and learn from it. It is a good thing to look into.

You can eat something that is non-edible. It is pretty cool to see how your mind creates tastes and textures.

Instead of flying you can try free falling, it is exhilarating

There is no end to interesting things that DC's may say to you if you speak with them. But it is definitely something that you need to practice to get good results at. It is difficult to remember dialogue and they become more realistic and interesting the more you spend time with them.

Telekinesis is very fun and takes a lot of practice (like flying) to get good at. Same with controlling the elements (fire, water, wind, earth)

Becoming insubstantial and morphing objects/people is challenging and interesting

Try speaking a language that you really don't know

The most fun thing to do could be to try and make a DC reoccurring. Meet up with them in every dream and explore/have fun with them.

Then of course there are things like astral projection, OBE's, remote viewing, precognition, and shared dreaming you could explore and try to see if they are real for yourself.

Overdose on drugs

O wow, a whole lot of things. Materializing them is a different schematic, but it is doable. How do you think we got radio and TV and internet?

Thanks great answers. I think Telekinesis is definitely a skill I need to work on.

Sure, but this is a fairly tall task. What you are talking about is bringing dreams into materialization, am I correct? Dangerous zone.

I'm not sure what you mean. You talking about bringing these skills into the real world?

Cool to see someone else from South Africa :D
At one point i also thought there was nothing to do but in normal life you may think hey i wish i could do that. Try some of these things, i have more adrenaline types of things on my mind at the moment, but later i want to check out historical and epic phases in our world and just see whats out there :D

Hey LucidAvenger :D I will definately try out some new things. This is my first thread on here and glad I found this place. Some interesting people on here.

find out what you really like and do it. I drove a Camaro once. SIK. Just think of what you've really wanted and do it. it doesn't have to be complicated

I understand what you mean by "real life" but it is arguable to me that dreams and meditations are just as real but with greater contact with the subconscious realms. Either way, yep I totally think you can bring dreams experiences into what I would call "consensus conscionceness", which could also be called "mass hallucination" to some extent. It is what groups of people agree to be real in common. A lot of scientists and artists and inventors have done so, as I think almost all of us have if we can realize and be aware of it.

I can't believe you can't think about anything other than flying :shock:.

You can become a Jedi and fight on distant planets.
Live on Pandora and become a Na'vi.
Become a transformer.
Do some gundam like stuff.
Put yourself in your favorite video games.
Become Goku in Dragonball Z.

I could go on and on!

Try one of the challenges in the Task of the Month forum:
Task of the Month

It is fun to see how everyone ends up completing the task differently. If you manage to complete it, you get access to the forum where we decide next month's task.

I think that at first it was the flying for me too. The very mobility of it, the pure freedom of it. It is still something I love to do, but as you say, there are limitless things you can do and experience. Flying is probably like a symbol of that limitnessness.

It's fun to explore your dream world. See what your mind creates!

Everything.
