I hope this is the right forum. Anyways, i had two fairly long very lucid dreams today, but i had some problems.
I’ve been meaning to try CALD (charectar assisted LD) and I chose the perfect charecter from one of my dream charecters. I used some meditation to find him in my head. I spoke to him before i went to sleep and we agreed to try to meet in my dreams today, however he didn’t show up and i was unable to bring him to my dream. I tried the close your eyes say and expect that he’ll be there and open them, however, he wasn’t. How do I bring DCs to my dreams?
In my second LD, I focused on a tech I heard about how to AP from a LD. Fly as high as you can and you’ll find yourself outside your body. Tried to fly, couldn’t. (A)How do you fly in dreams (B)Alternately, how else can you use dreams to AP?
That’s tricky. It helps if you have a certain routine and make the DC part of it.
You can fly if you believe you can fly. You can try to focus on whatever you want to reach, instead of focusing on the place you want to leave. Just jump up and miss the ground
Oh dear O-o; CALD is much more known then I thought-- I hadn’t imagined it would be in here when I looked!
Uhmm, with my characters, it just took some practice-- If I could not summon my character, whatever came up, or something nearby… I would transform it into them, it seems easier to change something into who or what you want than to summon at times! XD
In dreams, flying can be done in many different ways, jumping and gliding as far as you like, or how I fly is to create wings ( even if I can’t see them…) and fly with those!
I hope that’s helped-- I haven’t learned much about APing…
Yeah, I heard about CALD on dreamviews, so i came here and read both of the topics (char talk + CALD topic). Seems interesting, so I dug through my DJ and found in one of my dreams i had a DC as my best friend. Perfect canidate. Meditated, found him, he agreed and we decided to meet in a dream. Was going to learn about him during a LD i had this morning, but I ran into those problems. Must go back to meditating to meet him again. Great idea by the way(the cald i mean). Definitely going to try that suggestion.
I never really thought about using characters to become lucid. For me it’s the other way around. Whenever I become lucid, I try to find a certain DC.
There are two scenario’s:
There are a lot of DCs around. If that is the case, I’ll just find him in the crowd. Or I ask another DC to help me look for him.
There are no or only a few DCs around. I’ll drop down the floor and end up floating in some sort of blackness. I’ll ask if he is there and if he feels like it, he will accompany me for the rest of the dream.
Dreamviews…? Oh dear-- perhaps I should look into that O_O;;
I am glad you like the idea by the way…^^;;; I wish you success in your ventures! Please put any progress in the CALD thread…?
Thanks very much by the way! CALD is an interesting method for me to develop ^^;;
