Lucid Dreaming - What's the first thing you do when you're in control?

Did a quick search and was amazed at how many people have cracked this nut. I'm getting really good at this lately but I want to diversify.

It started when I had a dream after watching X-Men 3, in the dream I was the Angel character. I remembered a sort of buzzing or pressure in the back of my head when flying and in a later dream could recall the sensation and do it again, now I can call it up in pretty much any dream if given some sort of free direction (ie: no point doing it indoors in a low corridor) I usually have dreams of adventure or action without much fear but often obstacles. I have tried other ways to influencing them but they warp. I tried conjuring my girlfriend into the dream and the whole room shimmered but nothing happened. Other times it's like melted wax but I can't change anything and it stays it's course, but i can still fly, my brain has accepted that reality warp. Should I limit myself to certain "powers" or changes or is there a way to play "God"?

    The Power of Creative Dreaming by Pamela Bell is a wonderful resource for figuring out the things you are capable of during dreams.

    You can do anything you want in a dream, the first step is getting over the apprehension your feeling. Your afraid to take it too far, but in reality its still a dream.

    If you want to learn more about yourself, you can take a page from many shamanistic cultures. Try to be lucid within a dream in which you observe yourself, but not exert any influence over it. Its much harder than it sounds. This gives you the ability to watch what your subconscious is looking for in its most true form, without the haze a regular dream imposes.

    The second thing you bring up is Out of Body experience. Many people believe that lucid dreaming is a form of this, but, if you believe in such things, you're on a different plane of existence. The buzzing while flying is common to obe because of a cord that is said to be attached to you at the base of the skull, connected to your physical self. The "shimmering" is also described by frequent obe'rs who have learned to master travel to ethereal worlds. Its said to be very easy to exit the body as relaxation and sleep paralysis just begin to set in. So the idea of holding on to consciousness just prior to your body's sleep to exit the physical, and holding on to consciousness in dreams can be seen as related. Perhaps this is the next step you're looking for.

    Happy Travels!

    There's no reason to limit yourself to anything. You probably will want some of your baser desires satisfied at first, but if you decide to advance beyond that, you can use those dreams for learning. Meet enlightened people and gather wisdom or travel to new places. Explore your power and see where it takes you :)
