dream control

[Tombo]

How can I improve my dream Control? I can fly and be very strong if I want but I can not create things out of nothing or freeze People etc...

My idea was to picture myself being in the holodeck (Star Trek) and to give my orders to the computer: Like "Freeze People" "create Knife" etc..

But it doesn't work! Somehow my subconsciousness does not believe me. Any hints how I can gain more Control or Trick my Subc?

Thanks Tom

simple

I would like to give a comparision

If a person has a habit of 'side thinking and day dreaming a lot' while awake, the same tendency carries over to him while he is in a dreamscape.

So, if you can practise to keep your mind still , without stray thoughts surfacing, you can ask yourself, " Am I in the physical , or in a dreamscape?" .

Who knows , ask yourself now!

If you get the habit of asking the abouve question while awake, you will ask it even while in a dream, and hence u will have more chances of making a dream lucid

Being able to create and control dreamscapes, and manifest within them came pretty much all at the same time for me, although I'm constantly adding to my repertoire of abilities, and what I can conjure up.  I spent a long time in my room doing nothing but fantasizing. Not regular day dreaming/mind play type stuff, but intense visualization down to every last detail.  It was something I had to have complete peace and quite for.  It wasn't intentional, but I'd go to bed early (around nine), and fantasize for at least three or four hours EVERY NIGHT.  I was honestly addicted to it, and it's still something I can easily get caught up in now.  I can sometimes spend days on end doing nothing else but.  Around twelve or one (or whenever I eventually fell off to sleep) I realized that my mind continued the fantasy into the dream world.  A drawback from this type of practice (I believe) is that I've lost out on actual sleep!  It's been about twenty years now and I haven't gotten a true nights sleep in that time, because I have become CONSCIOUS in that realm.  It's a trade off I've learned to live with.  It is amazing simple to do if you have a deep imagination, but that mostly covers "creating a dream".

As for manifesting and control, eventually that came into play more and more as the years went on.  I feel that ones ability in the astral is very closely tied with ones feelings of accomplishment, abilities, and resourcefulness in the physical world.  If you're the type of person that has allowed others to convince you your useless, or if you yourself "know" that you are not functioning at an optimum level...it'll prove extremely difficult to weave anything in a sub-conscious realm.  I don't walk around with the idea that I'm all that (ever/unfortunately), but I do KNOW that I can do anything I put my mind to! Therein lies the secret...KNOWING that you CAN create ANYTHING in the astral.  The subconscious has an incredible way of majorly magnifying the slightest doubts.  

So if you can spare the time......start fantasizing as much as possible, in deep trance/meditative states (eyes closed, relaxed, etc).  Bring into play all the senses...sounds, tastes, scents. and try new things in areas that interest you.  It's funny how plumbing in a sink, rebuilding an engine, baking a cake, knitting, re-potting plants, or changing the oil in your car can help put you in a mindset that makes it easier to manifest, but it does work.  I'm an artist, so I know that I comprehend things differently from someone that's not.  I'm in a constant state of STUDY. Understanding interactions, relying heavily on my senses (esp. tactile), digesting and regurgitating everything in my path (with the eyes of a child, and a terribly jaded mind), but I do believe with practice the dream world can be a blank canvas on which one can create whatever they desire.

GOODLUCK

It is a lot easier to change something into something else (or someone into someone else) than to make something appear out of thin air. At least that is my experience. Perhaps you should try to take an unimportant object from the 'scenery' you are in, and try to mend it to your use. (with me, strongly wanting it to change is enough.)

The disadvantage of this approach is that the object might lose its substance fast if you let your concentration slide (in the dream). I also have sometimes that if I modify a person/object, and I have a thought flash / fear that this thought already changes the object. (for instance: if i am shooting a gun and I think: "oh i might run out of ammo" it just runs out of ammo because I fear it might -- other example: I am in a situation with a modified person and I think: "It would suck if that person were here" and *pop* the modified person BECOMES that person - although that's not what I want). So I think that the objects you "mold" might be less stable than objects that are genuine.

Perhaps creating an object out of nothing prevents these drawbacks (but I am not able to do that).

Something else you could try (in connection with your attempts to freeze people) is using the same 'energy flow' and apply it to another use. The energy I use to fly is also usable for other purposes (I only discovered this recently) so maybe you can also try and freeze people with your flight/strength energy. (I am not sure this will work, I haven't been able to do much more than fly with my energy, and somewhat damage storyline opponents).

Using the simple technique of yelling can give you amazing results.

Just yell out strongly whatever it is you want.

I promise you results and I assure nobody will hear you yelling in real life.

[Tombo]

Allright I'LL TRY LOL

[Humbled]

This technique is highly underrated.

After Dreaming for 6 years, I still use this technique regularly.

Dream getting fuzzy?  Yell "CLARITY!"  Everything clears up instantly.

Somebody or something bothering in a dream you don't like?  "GO AWAY!" makes them vanish in about 2 seconds.

Feel like projecting through a dream?  Close your eyes, focus, and yell "SHOW ME THE ASTRAL!"  Viola.

Trust me, it's one of the best techniques out there.

every time i get in the stage of total power
and i have already ask my self i f im dreaming
and i come to the conclusion that im really dreaming, I tend to run to the outside of where ever I am, and run the street really fast
through the air
put my arms back and i feel the air under my arms
and i like to think that maybe i can hitch rides with animals energy
i travel this way to peru where im from

this is what i want to know if thats the way some people can separate the dreamworld from the spiritual outside to have powers

Spend some time during the night, as you are waiting to fall asleep and visualize yourself just standing around doing nothing, just standing there. Then try to create the senarios that you want to have control over. I used to use objects passing through people (paintballs, cannonballs... speedy stuff really) to train myself to make me see the object passing straight through the person, with the person unharmed completely and the object acting as though the person wasn't there at all. Techniques like this help to improve your control over how the visualizations occur. Keep trying it over and over again, if it doesn't work the first time just keep at it.

Anyways, this should help you to control the dreams, to force your mind to allowing it to accept the outcome you want. Course, you'll need to be lucid to use it.
