Dreamsign - Psycokinesis

Quest for Lucidity
1

My first post on this forum, so I’d better just slip in an introduction too :smile:.

Since I first began my efforts at lucid dreaming back in '03, I believe I have progressed quite well. Recently, however, I have encountered a barrier. During the past few months, my dreamsign has changed. Originally my decided dreamsign had always been psycokinesis whenever I planned on a lucid dream. It was the only ability I ever needed to focus on to realize I was dreaming (it was something I had always considered possible in reality, but never achieved. This made it an obvious candidate). No problems what-so-ever :content:.

Now, whenever psycokinesis appears, the dream continues normally. This is becoming quite annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

First of all, what exactly is phycokinesis? I tried Googling it without much success lol.

Psycokinesis is the ability to exercise control over gravity. A more commonly used term is “Telekinesis”.

Sounds like you’ve stopped noticing it. If you start taking it for granted that anytime you see it, you’re going to instantly have a LD, your subconscious is going to trivialize it as well. Just remember to keep in mind at all times of your waking life that if you’re using psychokinetic powers, you’re definitely dreaming. Remembering it in your dreams again as well should follow.

Of course, this is only my theory on the idea, and if it doesn’t work, someone else around here may well have the answer instead. :grin:

Thanks, I’ll give it a try and post back tomorrow :smile:.

EDIT: Great! Your suggestion worked perfectly. It may have been a short LD, but at least I’m back on the right track.

I don’t know if it is really that much of a big deal, but ideally a dreamsign is something that you DON’T consider possible in reality, if you much choose one. Because there is always the chance that you will just think “yay I did it” and carry on. But if it works that is what matters.

You’re quite right, actually. When I first attempted lucid dreaming, I was constantly ending up in the “Yay, I did it” situation. I very much wanted to have Psycokinesis as my dreamsign, so I began to remind myself of the scietific unlikeliness of accessing said ability while conscious :wink:.

I seem to get that ability all the time in NDs too, it’s fun :smile: I never seem to question it though.
