Thread: Walking through walls

Yes, I have to know what's on the other side or else I can't go through it. If I go through something and don't really know what's on the other side I see strange things while my brain struggles to come up with something.

It also helps to know what walking though a wall looks like visually. Play a video game with clipping off of exploit glitches in games. If you have Halo: open the level 343 guilty spark. Before you get off of the pelican throw all of your grenades, it will allow you to stay in the vehicle as it flys away and lands up on top of the map. There is no clipping on the trees up there and will let you experience walking through walls and stuf fin real life. If you don't know what it's like then you can't do it.

Thats a good idea but the problem I fnd with video games is when you dream about them your dreams are more surreal and cartoon like. I used to love the game Sim City 4 and I notice sometimes when I'm flying at high altitudes in dreams and look down at the city it looks like sim city rather than a real life city. Its still pretty impressive looking but nothing like flying over real cities.

A while ago I was flying over a real city and there were all these crazy looking museums and I flew into the middle of a firework display. It was insane the fireworks were burning me and I was feeling real pain even though I knew I was dreaming.

i can walk through walls most of the time. i havent tried windows. I dont know why you are seeing blackness on the other side though. I usually find a randomly created dream scene on the other side. Its really hard to get through them though. I have to concentrate, and sometimes it doesnt work at all.

I don't think imagining video games would work well for me I'd probably end up in a big empty white space or stuck half way through twitching.

Ugh, i can't, the time i tried and touched the wall i left knuckle indents.

I think it all depends on the state of your mind. In my experience walking / flying through walls or windows is smoother if I don't make a big deal out of it. Let's say I'm inside and I want to go out and fly around or go meet someone, I don't concentrate on a window, I concentrate on where I want to go and what I want to do. If I do it like that I don't even feel anything when I get through a window. Like it's made out of thin air. On the other hand I've had dreams where I would find it hard to get through or I would even get stuck in the middle. This happened mostly when I felt uncomfortable or doubtful or when I thought – this is hard, I can't do it. And in fact it was hard and I couldn't do it.
As for walls – I prefere windows because I can see what's out there. And walls confuse your mind, I don't know why, but I also find myself in darkness often after passing through a wall. So for a long time I'd avoid having to get through a wall, but when I figured out that the trick is not paying attention to the actual act of getting through but on where I'm going, I can get even through walls much easier.

I love going through walls and floors. Everything really.

Enki made a very good point. If you don't think you can do it, you probably won't be able to. You have to be sure and know you can do whatever you want when you're lucid.

It's like the Matrix, when Morpheus is trying to teach Neo how to jump really far. You can't doubt it. I play a lot of computer games, and they almost all have no-clipping, and have for a long time. idspispopd anyone? It's pretty much just like that, only in a lucid dream. You have to know that you can do it in lucid dreams, and not just dreams that look like a game. Lucid dreams are like the ultimate virtual reality. You can go places and do things you never could do in reality. It's like a sandbox version of a game engine really. You can create or destroy anything, and do whatever you want, go wherever you want.

I think that's well worth the wait inbetween lucid dreams

Thats how it happens with me. It takes very little for my lucid dreams to end and me to wake up and going through a wall always seems to end the dream for me. I've noticed though when things go black and even though Im nearly awake if I dont move my body at all and lie there in the blackness the dream comes back and Im still fully lucid

Too true. Through all my experimentation I've realized that in a lucid dream if you have even a shred of doubt about something your trying to do you'll never be able to do it. Even knowing you CAN do it is not enough. You have to know you WILL do it every time you try. Of course it takes lots of practice and pull the trick off alot of times to know that you WILL pull the trick off every time you try.

It all starts with knowing you can and evolves into knowing you will. In my case it took me randomly doing these abnormal things in regular dreams to know I can do them. Sometimes I accidentally do them in lucid dreams. For example a lucid dream I had one day a DC who was a friend in real life told me to make a spoon appear and I tried my best but I couldn't when I stopped trying and started doing something else I realized I had a spoon in my hand. It didn't appear when I tried to manifest it but because I was thinking about it the spoon appeared in my hand afterwards.

Damn I never thought about that. Lucid dreaming is exactly like the matrix. In my dreams I don't notice myself breathing but I still open doors and break windows the get through them in dreams even though its not necessary since I can pass through solid objects in dreams.

My suggestion is to try and do it without looking at the wall. It works horrors.

Alright gonna write down a full tutorial.

Look at the wall you want to cross...... Look how it just stays there..... Now touch it... Look how light it looks... so light it actually seems liquid.. You can even try and push your hand through it and.... it feels like smoke. What could there be on the other side?? Now simply walk through the smoke-like wall, like a bull - head first. Once your head is at the other side, it will be easier to bring the rest of your body togetehr with it.

Congrats, you did it.

Your mindset tells you what you can and cant do you are only held down on the ground if you believe in gravity (in dreams of course) or any limitation for that matter. As for walking thrue walls it is very rare i walk thrue a wall into blackness but i seem to pop out in my back yard alot for some reason.

I can walk through windows and doors, and I've gotten some interesting DC reactions. I usually don't know what's on the other side, but there is always something there.

For me, the feeling of walking through a wall would be to walk through a wall of water, that doesn't ripple or have a temperature, and does not make me wet. I love the feeling.

Yeah, it feels like the wall is completely liquid, and avoids your body. I've had the strange situation of crossing a wall and ending up on the outside of a hug building - at the tenth floor. (talk about those cartoons!) I just let myself fall and broke it when I was close to the floor , by using my arms as wings.

^^ When you fell from the 10th floor did you fall in slow motion? That always happens to me when I jump off a building.

I tried walking through a wall again last night and as usual I went through the wall but there was nothing on the other side but blackness. Thats what ended the dream. It was another spontaneous LD and I didnt know how long it would last so I went for the wall as a spur of the moment thing not even thinking about what would be on the other side. I think thats the problem. I need to know theres something on the other side.

Haven't ever tried walking through walls.

Never had any difficulty with windows, though. For some reason they never have glass in them in my dreams, if I have an intent to go through them.

When I go through a wall wo/ visualizing what's on the other side, I have a very random experience. Sometimes I get stuck in the wall. Sometimes I find myself somewhere completely different. I NEVER find myself on the other side of the wall (i.e. where ever I would really be if I walked through that specific wall.).

Visualizing what's on the other side of the wall may well help you get to that point. I am just now perfecting this ability - it's very powerful.

As far as technique - I would suggest kneeling in front of the wall and placing your hands on it. Visualize the wall dematerializing under your hands. When it gets jello like in consistency, start pushing yourself through. This works for me everytime. Once you have success once or twice, you will succeed at all future attempts.

I just cant seem to get through windows without breaking them and a couple of times I got through a wall but there was nothing on the other side but blackness. Do you have to visualize whats on the other side for it to work? Why can't it create some random place like it usually does in dreams?

On a brighter note I've mastered breaking windows. I used to have loads of trouble but now I can break car windows with my fist. A few nights ago I did a bruce lee style fly kick through a car window, got in the driver seat and started ripping it down the sidewalk. There were pedestrians jumping out of the way. God I love dreams. Theres no such thing as responsibility in dreams.

I pushed someone through a wall once.

Lol no actually, the fall was kinda instantaneous. It's like:

walk through wall
"oh noes I'm on the tenth floor"
break the fall already
land graciously on solid land
end

I can, and it usually doesn't take a lot of effort. I've never tried passing through a big massive wall though, mainly just smalltime 10cm walls.

Thanks everyone. I read this because walls have been an obstacle in alot of my dreams. When i wake up I am like, that is really just a mental limitation, not an absolute limitation.

Maybe I will work on visualizing this dream ability or even make a guided visualization for it. I want to have 100% confidence in walking through walls in lucid dreams, for any reason.

I think a big part will be staying calm. If I am being chased thats usually one of the times I want to escape through a wall. But if I calm myself and become willing to face my fear, I'll be more level-headed and able to walk through walls.

I noticed the importance of calming myself and staying level-headed in a super long dream chain last night. Calming myself and facing my fear helped the dream continue, while in the past my emotions got very turbulent, leading to waking up.

It coincided with practicing emotional stabilizing techniques in waking life recently. So I think this will improve my dream controls.
