This is a big idea in Carlos Castaneda’s books. It might also work as a skill to be practiced during this month’s moon quest. (click here).
As for substances in a dream, I’ve drank beer. I also assure you all that I am indeed 19 years of age (legal drinking age here in Canada) … also over 21, since this is international.
You get what you expect to get in dreams, so I’d say that you would absolutely feel the effects. I imagine that someone who hasn’t experienced the true effect of something may have the SC make something up for them. To tell you the truth, I didn’t like being drunk in my LD, it sorta defeated the purpose and felt like low-lucidity.
good idea.
I had one lucid like this once. not my head but i was staring at my hands to try and stabalize my dream and as i was moving my hands i realized that my right hand was not attached to my body. in fact i was holding this hand with my actual right dream hand, but untill that point i had been thinking that it was my actual dream hand. it was pretty suprizing and i dropped it. as it was laying on the floor i still had complete control of it and could feel with it as well as my other 2 hands that were where they were supposed to be. so try removing some body parts painlessly or growing some extra limbs.
Beat the heck out of yourself. I mean, clone you, then see what you don’t like about yourself and beat the heck out of your clone
Or just beat yourself, it’d be interesting to see the results of a LD beating
Another one! Non-orthodoxal ways of doing things! Why fly like superman when you can float yourself like a baloon?
This could be better explained as a quest to use creativity to change things you do normally Why walk thru walls? You can make them open for you! Etc etc etc
Have I ever suggested just walking up to DCs and asking them to tell you something? You know, like just walk up to someone on the street and say, “Sing me a song” or “Tell me a story.” I’ve always wanted to do that, just to see what I get.
Go on a killing spree in a fantasy land, and try not to let the dream turn into a nightmare.
(I did this once, but not in a ludic dream, ended waking up annoyed and slightly scared)
