Why look when you can spawn?

Friday, April 18th, 2008

I’ve noticed that some people report having issues with spawning items within a lucid dream.  The general thought is that spawning big or even small items is extremely difficult.  Well, honestly, spawning is as easy as walking around in a dream.  There is no difficulty level on abilities within the dream world (unless of course you make it difficult).  So, if that’s the truth, why do people still have trouble?  Listed below are some tips on how to at least trick yourself into doing whatever it is you want (in this case spawn something).

  • Use visualization when you try to get something done.  If just thinking “I want 2000 planes to fill up this entire field” doesn’t do it for you, use visualization!
  • Press a button and say that when that button is pressed, 2000 planes will appear.
  • Close a door and then open it back up, telling yourself that once the door is open, you will be teleported to an area with 2000 planes.
  • Walk through a mirror, telling yourself that on the other side rests 2000 planes.
  • Turn a corner to establish the same exact thing as above.
  • The ways of doing this are endless, just establish a link between spawning and the actual structure of your dream world.  If the way you choose is linked to what is expected of the dream world, it will work!

This really goes for anything.  If you want to spawn planet Earth, it is no more difficult than spawning a cup.

If you have more tips and tricks, feel free to comment with them!  Otherwise, hope that helps some struggling people out there.

Tips for Dream Recall

Friday, June 8th, 2007

Everybody goes through a period of little to no dream recall, and it’s obviously extremely annoying; so, here are a few tips for successfully overcoming your dream recall dry spell.

  • Keep a written dream journal, even if you have a digital one. For some reason, writing down dreams for some people can really confirm to their brains that they do remember, and that they want to continue to do so. It sounds weird, but it works.
  • Get more sleep. Six to eight hours is a very healthy amount of sleep. Too little can affect not only dream recall but your overall energy.
  • Wake up ten to twenty minutes prior to when you usually do. What this does is not only wakes you up in the middle of a dream so that you can remember better, but it also gives you more time to actually write down your dream in your written journal.
  • Don’t drink fluids within your last hour before going to sleep. Waking up with a full bladder can affect your thoughts when you wake up. Instead of thinking about what dream you just had, you’ll be thinking about how much you really have to use the restroom.
  • When you wake up, try to train yourself to not move at all. Don’t even more your eyelids. Simply consciously wake up, and then go over the dream in its entirety before you do anything else. This will ensure that you won’t forget your dream before you write it down.
  • If you can’t remember your dream at first, keep a pen and pad around you during the day, so that when something does trigger a memory, you can write it down!
