Plunge into books! (only for literature fans)

Hi there, people! Just wanted to share something I did in my last LD that literature and reading fans may find fun. Sorry if this has already been discussed. Could not find it using the search engine! :wink:

This was my dream, in a nutshell:

I was fully lucid in my room, wondering what to do next. I noticed my bookshef was there with all the books I have IRL. I wondered if I could use actual books to change the dreamscape (since spinning around never seems to work for me).

I started looking at books, trying to read their titles (since text is soooo erratic in dreams). I noticed that one of my all-time favorites was there: The Chronicles of Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I thought “excellent, time to visit Narnia”.
I took the book and left it wide-open on the floor. I noticed it had more illustrations than its RL counterpart. I set my intent, I told myself I wanted to go to that beautiful beach near Cair Paravel and literally plunged into the book. I felt all the pages caressing my face and started to fall through a dark hole in a very Alice-in-Wonderland fashion, until I finally felt the sand in my feet. There I was!! NARNIA!! The best part? I looked up at the sky and I saw the book floating there, linking the two dreamscapes (ie my room and Narnia).

So, literature fans, this is a great opportunity to visit our beloved books! I couldn’t meet any character, but I think there is a lot of potential here. LD takes literature to a whole new level, huh? :lol:

I wonder if any of you has done something similar. I found the way of getting into the book pretty amusing (way more fun than spinning around, believe me). Maybe there are some other ideas? Some other lucid literature adventures? :read:

Oh wow, that’s a great idea! :colgate:
The only thing similar I can think of is jumping into a puddle into an underwater world, it’s pretty fun!

Yea, we should try something like checking our pockets for a paper to remember a story or trying to find a portal with a story already on mind.

You visited Narnia!? :eek: I’ve always wanted to go there (among other places from books) but I don’t usually try to teleport since it tends to screw up with the stability of my already colapsing dream :tongue: What I’ve tried though is putting an image close to my face and try to let it swallow me in, but didn’t have any luck. I’ll try diving in one next time!
