Items acting Like Portkeys

[raditus]

Has anyone done this before? Use various items and gateways into dreams?

I remember one experience that stuck out for me is when I used the family TV set in a dream years ago. I was watching Stargate in my dream and decided right then and there to go through it into what I called "Stargate-World."

Completely on purpose, I went through the TV, squeezing into it. When I came out the other end, it was as as if my TV was an actual Stargate! I ended up coming through the Stargate into the gate-room! Everyone there was like, WTF and I had loads of explaining to do!

I even used this blacktop area that was a school at night in my dreams to act as a springboard to other dreams. There was a big deep black hole in the middle that you jumped down into to go to other dreams. At first, I was the only one who did this. Not too long after, people whom I took for other dreamers showed up. One night, there was at least ten other people waiting to jump into the hole. Some times, sieges would happen where Zombie and stuff would attack and me and whomever was around would have to defeat them. When they were defeated, then we would use the hole as usual.

Yes, this is something I've done many times.  Often either in Lucid Dreams or in more conscious astral settings, various objects or locations can serve as 'portals' into other realms.  I've used TVs, mirrors, windows, closets and even corners to jump into different areas.  While you probably don't really need them, such objects can serve as symbolic representations of the connections between different areas or states of being.

Picture frames can be constructed by thought. Add a picture of something you wish to mix with and get closer and closer to it. You will be part of it as it comes to life. You can climb through it(early days way) or become within the picture as it comes to life.
My favourite was a mirror in the late 60's. It would show the expected reflections and when I wanted to leave where I was, a thought changed the surface to reflection free silvery glow. If I then touched the surface it would be water like. I went in many times to hundreds of different places.
What I found amusing was watching the first showing of Stargate. I knew what it was all about a decade or so earlier.
Other portals were simply created by thought. You set it all up mentally and opened a doorway.
Today, none of that is used. Pure determination with buckets of intent is all you need.
It's not as creative but you can phase yourself into any time, any place, anywhere and pour yourself a Martini.
That's if it's not interrupted as usual and then you're on another mission.

Cool, all cool!

I remember once to spin in place in a dream. I was Lucid and felt the dream ending. I get stick of dreams ending too soon lately, so I spun just to stabilize the dream and ended up shifting to another version of my dream. (Same location, but different 'plot' and characters.)

I've used a teleportation spell in a dream before to go back and forth between a hospital, convenience store and back again.

But yeah, I do get that someone can use anything or any method to use 'Portkeys'

Here is one where I entered another world through a painting.

I just read that and it was cool! I seriously never thought about paintings or books! I wish I could get back to that staging area from years ago. it would be awesome to see if anyone still uses it, the blacktop hole.
