Avatar: The Last Airbender abilities

Hi everybody.

Recently, i have been watching a show that I used to watch on T.V. when I was younger. The show is called Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you do not know of this show, I strongly recommend that you watch it (the cartoon series, not the movie).

On the show, many of the characters have the ability to bend their home element (water for people born in the water tribes, earth for people born in the earth kingdom, fire for people born in the fire nation and air for people born in the air temples). What this means is that they can move and control their home element through use of their spiritual energy. In the show, there is an individual who can bend all four elements, he is known as the Avatar. Here is the opening scene to the first episode so you can see what I am talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CggapZLtWdo

The main reason for this post is that in the past two weeks, I have had three dreams that have been directly related to this show as I have had the abilities of the characters on the show. In two of these dreams I have been lucid and have been able to earthbend and in the normal dream I was able to firebend a little.

I feel that to get better at using these abilities, I will have to train in future lucid dreams which will be very fun in my opinion.

I want to know if anyone on this forum is also a fan of the show and has attempted to use these abilities in their dreams.

Also, for the people who are not fans of the show, I suggest you watch a few episodes and attempt to use the abilities of the characters in the show as it is really fun (probably the best thing I have ever done while dreaming).

Ohh! I love Avatar! :DD

I once had a dream I could air bend, but only for a little while! It was cool! :33

That was wicked, I will try to get the set on DVD if I can.

I have used fire in the from of energy and projected this at targets, picked up rocks and had them dissolve into energy and fill my body, stopped tornadoes from attacking me. I have not done anything with water yet, it would be cool if the creator of the series was a dreamer.

Just watched the season finale of Legend of Korra a few days ago, and my first thought was immediately:

"The first thing I'm doing when I have my first lucid dream is being the Avatar!" XD

Love avatar ! Thats my next dream mission to air bend :D

This is so funny! I remember having a normal dream, and I was earth-bending. it was sick X3

Just ordered a few of the DVD's

Sounds good peter. I'm sure you will enjoy the show :D

Think so and there are heaps of them. I run out of Star Trek after and need something to fill the gap

I mentioned this show in some of my posts when I was discussing what comes naturally to us and what element can you 'bend'?

In a lucid dream, I am an earth bender and a water bender. But, for the life of me, I can't make fire or lightning or create tornadoes, and I can't fly very well.

It is fun to form a ball of water from a lake and turn it into ice and chuck it at people. Or raise small mountainous spires from the ground and then play on them. I can terraform quite easily, but I can't fire bend or air bend.

But it appears others can with ease. I'm sure with practice we can all manipulate all the elements in a lucid dream, but do certain elements come naturally to some and not to others? (of course they are not true elements but mental blocks that may be a clue to our personalities)

Oh! I loved that show! I watched every episode of both series! Now that you mention it... I recently dreamed I was Korra it was fun! I also had a dream I was Aang! Bloodbending feels weird... I don't like it. Avatar state YIP! YIP!

I had the exact same thought as you HAGART. I think that some people are just naturally talented at bending specific elements and for me that element is earth, but water is easy for me too its just that earth bending feels more normal.

If you want to do it better, to bend the elements well... I tried to fly a lot of times and now I can fly well, you know for the first times you fall down a lot. Once I had a dream about a lot of men and women tried to attack me in a small room. I realized it is a dream and tried to push them with my hand. I think everybody have his/her own technique to move objects so I focused on my hand and on the person, and it worked like a charm. I pushed everybody into the wall and then I was able to crush the water around me cause a big explosion like a real jedi :D since that I realized how it works for me... you should give a try. Focus on hand and the object you want to move.... maybe it helps a lot. :)

:D That's actually one of my many plans to do once I actually learn how to lucid dream! I've wanted to bend since I saw the show :P

:D I am new in these forums and I just registered!

and yeah I did some water bending in a dream IT WAS EPIC! I was pwning some weird colorful amons o_O and I did ICE KNIVES ON THEM! But it wasnt a lucid dream :| I am now reading tips on how to lucid dream. And my goal is to be a bender in a Lucid Dream :D

I am happy to be in this forum! :mrgreen:

Guess whos gonna waterbend!..... :D

Hi, everyone. I am an aero-kinetic :D , hydro-kinetic :D , photo-kinetic, and even chrono-kinetic practitioner :D . I do in deed have awesome bending dreams. In fact, great masters have thought me well in the lucid state. However, I was thought in this chronological order by whom: Air, the element of detachment and freedom by Master Avatar Aang himself at church in that dream scheme(setting), Fire:the element of ultimate creativity by Fire Lord Zuko in my lucid dream :P , then the Element Water, the element of and magnetic properties(most common in women), then finally my natural element:Earth'the element of stability and foundation(my perception) by Master Sifu Tough from THE Last Airender. I have not ever entered the Avatar State, Yet! I have used my bending to defeat fears and visions. The most lucid powerful dream I actually had control of was..." In my lucid dream I was in my old neighborhood and I just happened to past a house blasting rap music, peculiarly enough I noticed the voice of the demonic voice and from that energy arose a dark entity just to the left side of the street in front of the house where there was space:very clear that the demon was going to get a lot bigger. As i watched thoroughly, yet still hearing the music, making the size of the Bato/Unalocq fusion from Korra larger. Ultimately, I turned and tried to scurry away from the relatively large monster, tripping my foot, making it clear i was going to get away from this monster's reach. So, i gained conscious while nearly falling, and turned towards the monster, in circular fashion i moved my arms and hands wrapping the monster in literally a crystal blue dome, then i went on about my walk. However, i gained even more conscious when i realized i just defeated a demon, my chrono-kinetic abilities activated :o rewinding the whole scene :shock: just right before the circular hand and arm gestures, but this time i wrapped the monster in water dome then fire dome :ugeek: " Dreams are most great and powerful when you are aware :idea: you are in the dream reality :arrow: :Lucid Dreaming.

Hey there, i'm so glad there are others out there who have experienced bending in their dreams. Thats so cool, my very first experience, and possibly the most lucid dream ive had, was about a week ago. i realised i could do anything in my dream, so i started earthbending! sending lines of rubble from stomping the ground and kicking rocks into the air, is was so much fun, and when i woke up i was ecstatic!

I thought really hard about this, if when we go to sleep our spirit travels into higher dimensions, and then back into our realm when we wake up, than our dream most certainly exist in another dimension, we just dont always remember, even if we are only interacting with those energies for a short while, the reason why they feel so real is because IT WAS ;) id love someone to analyse the above, how close to the truth am i??

anyway next time im lucid dreaming, ill try to bend again, maybe if anyone else has the same intentions we could create a landscape from the show in our dreams, like a possible meeting place for benders, please comment or post a photo if you have an idea :)

lastly i want to share more thoughts about our current level, the dense physical realm.. energies are growing stronger the closer we get to the start of the next equinox cycle, which is A LOT like harmonic convergence in the legend of korra, if or when the earth shifts, higher energies will be available for us to interact with, just like in our dreams when we are using our spirit bodies, so i hope and im sure you'll agree, bending will become possible with our physical bodies, we may even all become the equivalent of the avatar on an energetic level, maybe we already are... all food for thought, would be great to see what you all think, may the light be with you, and GO BENDERS!

I've never bended elements, but I have had a pretty awesome dream that I was a Jedi. I couldn't use the force well so I was kind of useless :). I could share the dream here if you guys want.
