Recurring objects

Is it possible to collect/get something in a dream and then set it up so that that is there the next time you have a lucid dream? Maybe have a special box or backpack you always keep with you that you will have when you go into a dream? I think it’d be cool to have a few things in a backpack that’d be useful in a lucid dream.

Hell, the backpack it’self would be useful - it could be used to “conjure” items. Maybe a peice of cloth or towel or some gravel would also be useful for increasing lucidity when you can’t think of anything to use in a dream.

I dunno - just an idea. Anyone think this could work?

i don’t think i really understood the question, but i will post my own question inspired on yours.
Is it possible when you LD that you program your self (kinda like a PC) to make a strange object appear in your future dreams so that you become lucid? kinda like forcing yourself a mnemonic?

Hey squakMix,

What you suggest is possible. If you convince yourself that any time you are lucid, you will find this backpack and that inside it, is anything that you need, it might succeed. Remember that most of what happens is based upon expectations.

phatidico - This could be possible aswell, it kind of reminds me of the whole “brainhack” stuff done by some people here (I know Retro for example experimented with that quite succesfully, according to him). I would suggest to try it and see what the results are (perhaps take a dreamsign that appears already often in your dreams?), and report them to us ofcourse :smile:. Good luck with that!

phatidico: A number of people have tried asking a DC (whilst lucid) to come into all of their dreams, and to tell them that they’re dreaming.

As far as I know though, no one has had any success with this…

In the book “The Lucid Dreamer” by Malcolm Godwin they suggest that you create a dream room that you can use as a home base for lucid dreaming:

Sounds really cool to me but it’s still beyond my abilities at this point.

It seems to me that siberian shamans do something like this. But when they found an object during their transe, then they make it IRL. I’m not 100 percent sure.
