I have a problem. I’ve been practicing lucid dreaming/OBE for about 2–3 months now, and I often manage to achieve 1–3 obe per week, with about 4–8 experiences in a single session. However, I usually end up in various rooms, interacting with objects and characters, practicing walking through walls, flying, and so on.
But when I try to create a portal and go through a door or a wall to reach a specific place, I often end up somewhere else, or the place doesn’t even look close to what I expected.
For example, in my last experience I tried to teleport to Rivendell, the elven kingdom from The Lord of the Rings. I created a portal, imagined that the place was on the other side, and stepped into it. But funnily enough, I ended up back in my own room.
Then I thought I would try to go to the Star Wars universe. I clearly imagined it and even saw something similar to it inside the portal. I entered it, but it failed again — I ended up in something like a cinema or a player with a big screen where a movie similar to Star Wars was playing.
In the next experience the same day, I tried to open a door, but it just led me to another random room in my house — nothing special.
