Making A Particular Person be there

What techniques, or what has worked for you guys when trying to make a certain person be in your dream?

I am trying to get a particular person to be in my dream with me, and some times I can get him there, but so far just as a background character.

I read another person's post about Johnny Depp and she went outside and called his name. I tried that one, but it didn't work. Although it was fun to be lucid for a bit!

I my MILD techniques I am intending more interaction with this person. But that's as far as I have gotten.

Thanks for any help! -Sara

Last night I demanded my higher self personify itself. What I got was Carl Sagan, and then he jumped into my chest... was quite weird, and I don't think it was my higher self as I felt odd when it entered me, not happy.

Anyway, i think getting a body figure of someone is much like learning to fly or go through a wall. Once you learn to do it, you can do it. Demand this person next time, and that you want your subconcious to create the image. Perhaps try using the ground around you to start "sculpting" this person. I find that when your subconcious doesn't listen and you try to find another way, it will listen next time.

I've struggled with this technique too. I often get the urge to make a good looking guy appear. The sculpting method worked only once for me and I wasn't even lucid.

I've heard a good trick is to call out to them as though they are just in the next room, or just around the corner. Feel their presence there, maybe call out again and go see them. The result may not always be right, but there's a good chance you can meet them if your subconscious agrees with the interaction.

I made Stellan Skarsgård turn into my friend once, i was half lucid when i faced an evil version of stellan skarsgård, thats the actor who plays will turners dad in Pirates of the caribbean.

This is where i realized i was dreaming.

Anyhow i felt that i had to change a person into my friend instead of just making him pop up somewhere, so try to just use anyone in your surrounding and just force the person you chose to morph into the person that you wish to appear

I've had both failures and successes with this, but in a recent LD I took Robert Waggoner's advice and asked the dream itself if I could get a particular person to appear.

The results were pretty startling: one dream figure began rapidly shifting (like that "scramble suit" in the movie Scanner Darkly) and finally settled on something very close to the person I was thinking of. It still wasn't quite right, though, so I started complaining to this (new) dream figure that certain details still weren't quite there.

The dream figure, oddly enough, responded to my complaints by looking at me very beseechingly and said with its eyes "Don't you recognize me?" And there was a little bit of attitude mixed in as well. As if it was saying "Hey, what am I--chopped liver!?".

So I actually apologized about being so particular. We ended up having a pretty interesting talk--except the conversation was a little hard to follow, since this dream character was talking in what sounded like twenty voices at once. The experience was more like listening to music. It made me wish there was some kind of "dream tape recorder" so I could review what it'd said at some later time. The figure was giving out so much information...

Has anybody else tried this "ask the dream" technique?

I have tried to make people appear who are injured, in my dreams as well so that I could attempt to practice medical skills. I tried closing my eyes and then saying that this person will be there when I open them but that did not work. P.S. Do not try medical experiments on real people.

P.S.S. I might even try to genetically alter a person in a dream to make them into a zombie... :lol:

I thought of something for this. In your dream, get your phone and send the person a text or phone them and arrange a place to meet and see if they appear. Now that would be a good way to make someone appear. (If they aren't in your phone or whatever, just write a letter and post it)

I have found that even in non-lucid dreams, when I look for someone and ask around for them in a dream, they usually randomly appear out of no where.

Getting rid of people can also be a challenge ;)

ok, so i also have problems with this. usually i call out for someone to come, or walk into a room or place and ask for them, or imagine them there. but then, when i see them they dont looke like them, a little ugly, not even the person, or look like a mix of two people. this really bugs me because i like to enjoy my LD with people, and have fun with them. and when i mess up on people i usually yell and get very angry and eathier wake myself, scare any people away, or end up forgetting i was dreaming. but what usually helps is to first sit down and just get yourself as much into detail and practise with your surrondings befor you think about people. :!:

Cool thread! Here's what I do to summon dream characters:

(NOTE: Always increase your lucidity first if you want decent results!)

1. Visualize /imagine the person standing behind you or around a corner, then when you sense they're there, turn around or go look. If they're not there, don't worry, just try the next method:

2. Ask the dream (Robert Waggoner's method) to present so-and-so. Sometimes I don't ask for a specific name, I'll just ask for "my dream guide" or "my ultimate fantasy" ...hehe...

3. Open a dream door and reach in, expecting to grab the hand of your intended figure and pull them through. This also works using mirrors as liquid portals.

4. Draw a picture of them! This is getting quite surreal but then again that's the nature of the subconscious dreaming mind. And it totally works if you expect it to. Paint a picture of your character (on the wall or in the air) and EXPECT them to come to life.

5. Another surreal one: have an object morph into your dream figure. I once watched my dream guide peel himself out of a tree this way. It was A-W-E-S-O-M-E to watch.

6. Ask an existing dream character to morph into X, if they'd be so kind. If the summoned character looks somehow different from reality, you can ask them to do better. "I'm going to look away and when I look back you will look like the closest representation of X my imagination can create." I've turned many a random stranger into near-perfect Brad Pitt this way.

Always remember when creating new imagery, people or objects, your gut expectation is the driving force...

PS - This question has just inspired my next article for the website. Look out for it. Thanks :D

Here's the article, with just a little more info than I gave here: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/how-to-create-dream-characters.html

I have tried to do this as well, and I sometimes had success just by picturing the person I wanted to see in my mind. This doesn't appear to work real well, as when I did try it, it often did not work. In those cases I seem to have to go there (to the person's house) the long way, like, I would literally be above the city navigating the streets to be a guide, although I was flying, I couldn't guess the way without using the streets.

I find it very easy to do. All I need to do, is imagine the person(s) as strongly as I can, and then they appear.

The only people I have done it to, where my Boyfriend and my 3 Cousins. I am still to try an actor or someone I desire to see in my dream state that I don't personally know.

The only time it went wrong, as when I got my cousins in, But instead of them coming into my dream as the age they are now, they came into the dream as young kids. I think this is because, I was closest to them growing up, so it made sense.

I have no methods when I try to Lucid dream. Best bet is to really focus as hard as you can, and to feel there presence.

Normally I'll just imagine that there's a doorway behind me. I'll turn around and think, "Oh, [someone] is behind that door. That's usually how I get someone to come into my dream. I find it hard to just make someone appear. I guess that's beyond my talents at this point. lol

I think the main trick is not to rely to much on visuals but to get an instinctive feeling whether you have the right person in front of you. It is also easier, in my experience, if call a person to your dream by thinking of the feeling that you have when you are with them or think about them rather than using their name or image. Trying to see and solidify a persons physical features is like reading in the dreamscape.

I suggest politely asking your subconscious for the person. I recently had a lot of success with this while asking for dream figures in a lucid dream. I asked for my dream guide and he appeared behind me. When we went and sat at the table, i asked for a few other ones, including a dream character for sex and one to explain certain parts of my dream for me. As i asked for them they just walked into the room from around the corner. This might have worked for me because i was asking for whoever my subconscious assigned for that role rather than a specific person, but i think it might work still.

I have problems too, but I think I know the solution. Jst go somewhere you would expect to find them. Their house, somewhere you hang out. My problem is actually getting out of the house D:

I've done this twice successfully. I can look at any object or person and concentrate really really hard, and it seems like the dream starts to shake and then the object or person I was looking at either transforms from top to bottom or vice versa and I have a replica of whoever. Occasionally their face doesn't appear however, and this has a way of waking me up because it takes a lot of concentration, at least for me.

Hi! Last night I had a dream in which eventually I got aware that I'm dreaming and it is a lucid dream so I decided to see my boyfriend :) , I thought I am dreaming so I can see him if I only turn aroung or go to another room, so I go to another room but he is not there. I open every door in the place even the scene changes and lots of people I see around but still not my boyfriend! I was very desparated and I didn't know what technic should I use to see him, can you tell me what was wrong? :? Also I want to ask if we can see someone of our future in lucid dreams? for example my future child? ;)
