the BIG Fav thing to do in a LD - Part II

Maybe there’s some kind of universal unconscious. If this were the case, the brain could access the life of absolutely anything. What I want to know is… how does the brain know what it feels like to fly? It feels very different from free fall.

Good question actually…surely the the brain doesn’t know flying purely by our imagination. And, from the people I’ve talked to, everyone has almost the exact same experience when they fly so the brain has some kind of…experience or something… I don’t believe the whole feeling of flying comes from the imagination alone. Dreams are very strange things aren’t they?

In what way is flying different to falling, other than the fact that you’re going sideways instead of down?

I have no doubts that the mind is capable of simulating the various sensations involved in almost any activity. You’ve never felt wind against your face? Never had that strange feeling in your stomach when your car goes over a hill, or when you’re riding a roller coaster?

What more is there to flying?

I guess you’re right, Atheist. The flying sensation is probably a combination of various other sensations. It’s just that I’ve never exactly felt it IRL. :bored:

Here are some of the things I like to do when I’m lucid:

1.Fly (that’s always the first thing I think of)
2.Explore the sea (since I’m too afraid to go scuba-diving in RL… It’s about as good as flying)
3.Go shopping (Now I can buy all the clothes that I wanna have and are too expencive for me in RL :content: )
4.Play a hairdresser (Just stand in front of the mirror and try different hair styles on yourself, any hair lenght, any color… childish maybe, but I love it :content: )
5.Go through the mirror (That’s really interesting cause you never know where you’ll end up)
6.Travel trough time (That I do rarely, but it’s really interesting)
7.Find the person you’re in love with (And then you know… :wink: )
8.Be naughty (No limits in LDs. :wink: )
9.Show off (“Hey look what I can do! I can fly! I can even walk through walls…” :razz: )
10.Do some sports (Trust me, sports can be very different and better in LDs. Try skiing for example, I could never ski like that in RL)

Ok these are just a few things that i thought of at the moment and that I normally do when I’m lucid. When I think of anything else I’ll let you know. I also wanna try new things beside these that I’ve already done. I hope I get some good ideas from your posts.

these are some great ideas that id love to try once i can become lucid :sad:
anyone ever experienced being in a movie
ive had normal dreams similar to terminator 2 where i am getting chased by the terminator it was scary but great fun being chased at the same time

My list of things to do are this:

  1. FLy
  2. Transform
  3. Go thorugh walls
  4. Play with my dream workshop
  5. Practice or perform things for waking life
  6. Try to edit my mind

OK, heres my list. . .
by the way, i dont see what the AMAZING fascination with flying is, but maybe ill find out when i do it :wink: .

  1. [i think this is on most of our minds] have sex with whomever i desire :grin:
  2. perform, practice or study for events or exams in the waking life [maybe i could go back in time and ask hitler about his life for a history exam :gni: ]
  3. increse my confidence, and practice for stage performances. . .
  4. enrich my waking and dreaming lifestyle.
  5. impress the people in my dreams with magic etc. that sounds like ALLOT of fun.

Thats all i can think of at the moment but im sure i theres allot more i know of that id like to do. . .

Thanks

something else for the list - use telephone, does it work?, who answers?

the telephone is a good idea, i never thought of that…

Well your imagination is the limit. Go wherever. Or even Whenever. Go to castles in the sky, find true love, be at one with the earth. Race the Chariots of the gods. Go to the edge of time and find the forests avalon. Anything is possible. espeacilly in your dreams.

We know that we can do anything, it’s just sometimes hard to think of something really cool :cool:

I read somewhere about a good idea: create a DC that acts exactly like you (clone yourself) or just talk with your reflection in mirror…

or just visit some places from movies & books: i want to visit Rivendell, for example…

Your avatar gave me a great idea, I would play LOOM in my dreams! :grin:

hi,
what IS loom anyways?
:eh:

i like to

  1. smoke ganja , – i think i actualy Feel high in the dream too !

  2. search for God, – for some reason, i can never find him… :eh: … has anyone here found God in LD ?? and maybe also had a chat witt him?

  3. try to find my brejrin (who i know IRL)…, inside the LD, and try to wake him up, and see if he gets lucid too, – i tried this only once and as soon as i shook him to wake him up, everything flashed white, and the scene went blank,. and then i re-entered the dream not lucid,… the funny thing is, the next day he told me that he woke up at 5:00 juss like that without an alarm, and 5:00 is around the time that i was having the LD

  4. flying, – obviously…

and a few other things too,

     --those are in no specific order

I cant seem to LD on command…or even remember too much of my ld’s (lately iv started to remember a bit more of my normal dreams, though its usualy only a few of the days of the week that i remember my dreams vividly). BUT, lol , here’s my list

  1. Jam with Jimi Hendrix

  2. Talk to john lennon

  3. see the future

  4. fly :smile:

cant think of too much right now :confused:

:peek:

I usually just look at my reflection, love to fly, love to go through window. Interacting with other dream characters is fun.

I also like to change things, my appearance. I sometimes just look at the sky and make it cloudy or sunny it is quite fun.

I don’t know if anybody’s tried this, but once I manifested a roller coaster and then took a ride on it. And something I’ve taken to recently: standing on a huge cliff or building, and just diving down into the ground or water. I always am okay at the end, but the terror can bring such a high.

I wonder if it would be possible to have a comic-style LD. I have had comic-style ND, so I know the mind can create the stuff. But in a lucid dream it would be a way more difficult I think, wouldn’t it? I never managed to do it, but maybe I do it in the wrong way …

What do you think?

Veccolo - I imagine it would be pretty hard :eek: Not impossible, but definitely hard. To do that, you would have to be really comfortable with changing your surroundings in LDs and just generally having a ton of control over your dream. I’m still learning to change surroundings at will, so I probably wouldn’t be able to have a comic-style LD.

Remember, anything’s possible in LDs :content: Some things just take a while to get the hang of.
