Total control?
I've been reading a lot of footage about people and their problems with dream control. For example, they are going to go through a door and suddenly imagine the door is locked, and therefore the door is locked and it seems that you can't reverse it. Well I think the power of your mind goes much further than that. What if we find a way to use our full powers over ourselves? I mean to unlock the door without the possibility of locking it again by accident. What I'm talking about is something that most people know as a guide, but it is not a guide. Have you ever seen the movie Tron: Legacy? Do you remember the part in which the father of the main character creates CLU? Well that's more like I imagine it. Using your actual powers you create person/being/thing whatever you want and tell it you give it full power, but under your command; it must obey every order and if it doesn't it must be destroyed. Try this, I'm not having enough lucid dreams to try it yet, but I will soon.
Sounds very cool to try
It's a good idea, but for me, every lucid dream is a clean slate again and I don't meet re-occuring characters.
BUT you can summon people when you call them by name in a lucid dream, (with patience) and if you get proficient at it and create a character in a lucid dream I don't see any reason why they can't be summoned all the time. And their presence may help you get over a mental block or hurdle like a door that won't open.
I have trouble flying in lucid dreams and one time I tried to summon an aid. I use to watch Dragon Ball Z when I was younger and summoned Nimbus, Goku's flying cloud. It was just an orange blob of light and looked nothing like what I thought it would, however, when I stood on that spot I was suddenly able to levitate and float.
So I can vouch that creating things in a lucid dream to help you overcome a mental block works. I never created a character or person though. I have some theories about what would probably happen, but I wouldn't know unless I tried it.
I don't know if I made it clear. But the reason why I want to have an emotional attachment associated with the dream character is because they may show up in any form visually, but if it FEELS like the same person than it is the same one. My theory though is that every dream character I speak with no matter who or what is always my subconscious speaking to me. Therefore they are always the same thing just taking different forms.
Yeah, dream characters are amazing sometimes. Dammit I want to try that. If it was a projection of yourself, then you'll probably know it next time you encounter something like that. I think I'm in a good road to LDing, I'm making progress, I hope I can try invoking something like love like you did or something else.
I was lucid last night and remembered to try and meet, "Uncertainty" again, whoever that is. I was in a house and there were other people there and I asked where Uncertainty is. They pointed and I saw somebody. I walked up to him, but it was not the Chinese man from before. It was my uncle. I was still a bit dreamy and confused, not thinking rationally. I asked, did they just show me to any uncle and not the same one. (As if 'uncle' is a type of 'uncertainty'). I was in a dream-like-state-of-mind and it made sense at the time. Anyway, it wasn't who I thought it was and it wasn't what I expected, but he had some interesting things to tell me. He gave me some gentle criticism and said, "You are a dry dreamer." Then he said something that made perfect sense, but I forget the wording of it. It was improper English, but very pithy and wise. Basically he was implying that I dream at random and never plan it. So as a result things happen beyond my control because I am never prepared and I try to find meanings in things even if there is none.
Still trying to figure out exactly what that means....(there I go again trying to find meaning). But perhaps what I need to do is have a more well developed plan before I dream so I get better results. Otherwise the whimsical nature of the dream takes over beyond my control.
I don't know why, but I do have a dream guide. He kinda looks like a mix Subject 16 from Assassin's Creed, and Paxton Fettel from the F.E.A.R. videogame series. Usually, he just stands some distance away, and observes the world around him, flashing a smile every now and then.
But in my first lucid dreams, he helped me get over some mental blocks.
Dunno what's up with that. I guess he just coincidentally appeared in my first lucid dream, and my subconscious now associates him with lucid dreaming.
Sometime, in dreams I meet people, wich met befor. They are looks the same as in last times. But there is the monsters, whoo comouflage itself by variouse characters.
HAGART wrote: I said I was looking for 'the embodiment of love'. (by love I mean that warm feeling of unconditional love and joy and euphoria). I tried to fill my heart with love as I was calling out, but I couldn't. I can't just spontaneously feel something without a reason for it. So my mood was somewhat normal, perhaps a little excited.
thanks for that HAGART, I love the idea of calling for the embodiment of some emotion like love. I'll have to add that one to my long list of LD challenges.
