 |
|
What possible use/benefit could ther be of knowing your dreamscapes well?
I return to some magic places over and over. I think its places from my childhood that has changed in some way. Strong impressions that made a lasting memory, that I return to in the dreams...
How could I use that? |

Exploring your mind, revisiting old memories, perhaps?
Knowing your dreamscape well would give you a familiar place to work from. A 'dream base', so to speak. Could be very interesting for control practice. Try and test them in your base, in a safe environment and then go out into the 'wild' and use your powers there. I think that by having a safe harbour, you'll be more inclined to try out new things.

That sounds fantastic. I cant wait to get lucid again and go there and check it out, how it fits together - right now the map of the landscape is like a spider that cant connect one leg with another, all the places is connected, but I am not entirely shure how.
Anyway, that is a great idea. Thanks. I´ll try to get there tonight, I´ll set an alarmclock (I never do that... :-/ ) and everything. 
Let you kow how it works. A girl I love at night, lives there too |

Yeah, LaBerge also mentioned a dream base/workspace in EWOLD. Here's the exercise excerpt:
| Quote: |
EXERCISE: BUILDING A LUCID DREAM WORKSHOP
Here are some ideas for building a lucid dream workshop of your own. You will need an inspiring environment, gifted helpers, powerful tools. The first step is to create the environment. If you feel you need magnificent sur-roundings, you can create them. If the atmosphere you seek is that of a starving artist in a garret, so be it. If you are a computer programmer, you can seat yourself at your ultimate “dream computer. “You can create a “fortress of solitude” on an uninhabited planet or sur-round yourself with companions. Give your rooms doors and windows into other dimensions where help might be found. After initially creating your workspace in a lucid dream, each time you visit it you can add finishing touches: put treasure chests, reference libraries, or work-benches into your structure—whatever you might possi-bly need to inspire and empower your creative work.
When you are satisfied with your environment, enlist helpers—experts, teachers, assistants, wizards, consul-tants, muses, galactic councils. If you want to learn to Paint, summon Rembrandt. Go fishing with Hemingway Hesse and talk about that novel you’ve always wanted write. Ask your helpers to get you started on your specific problem or creative challenge. Build or conjure tools—an idea machine, or a magical paintbrush. If this exercise works for you, don’t forget to return to your workshop every once in a while. Your mental model grow increasingly capable of empowering your creativity. The more problems you solve there, the more inspirations you find there, the more power the workshop will have for you. |

TLS: That will be the next step, first I´ll have to get there But actually I am creative field of work, so thats perfect. I have solved complex problems in my sleep before but never while lucid.
Do you use dreams for that purpose? Any example? |

Not yet, since my lucid dream frequency and quality are currently underdeveloped for such endeavors. Journalling just once a month will do that to you, but with the oneironaut challenge I journal every day and I get lucid at least once a week. Unfortunately, all of my lucids so far have been way too short (no more than 2 minutes). I keep getting them in my first REM period. >.< 
My current goal (getting a Rubik's cube in a dream and solving it) is related, though. I want to see if I can learn something, if I can see something I my dreams I couldn't see otherwise. For tonight, just solving it is on the list, however.

I once solved a problem that I could never have solved while conscious: I learned a computing language and wanted to create a executing code to make a small program work. Then I dreamed about the code, and woke up, wrote it down... AND IT WORKED 
Since then I knw that we have access to incredible stuff in our dreams. I was not lucid in this code-solving dream.
This happened before I got my first lucid, by accident a few years later.
Good luck. |

That is awesome! I too have started learning a coding language just recently ( C++ ) and although its only been 6 days, i got a group of my buddies to do it with me and now maybe even lucid dreaming will help too :] |

Yes, Its awesome what we are capable of if we can just access our subconscious mind. But dont forget, we need to rest at night too Dont stress your mind too much, thinking about work in our dreams is a sign of stress and a varning rather than a blessing.
But to do stuff like TLS talks about, solving rubricks cube is totally possible whilest lucid. |

I think I would like to try making my dream workshop a familiar place, like in my salon. It is really, really familiar...(as most people's work is , unfortuantely). It would have a high chance of staying stable and mostly the same in my dreams, and when I am there in waking life, I can daydream/preplan how things might go once lucid. I think I'd be able to look at certain doors and know which "portals" they are, maybe keep special tools in certain drawers...like magic wands, lucid pills, etc. If I practice visualization during the day I assume it would help once I put myself there in an LD.

Yea you should try it your a very good lucid dreamer and could get fast results x]
And i remember a website called the lucid dojo that basically created an area (3D images of the land) for lucid dreamers to go to once lucid, to test if 'shared dreams' could ever occur if two people were to be there at the same time and report seeing each other on the website. Im not sure if anyone ever got the area 'saved' in their dreams, but if so then it surely is possible |

Since I tryed to remember all my dreamscapes, there is no end to them, my dream memory is accessible daytime... strange, and I have total dream recall every day, every morning 3 dreams at least... for one month now, it has been like that.
This is no joke, strange.... but true, almost more than I would wish for... |

Thats how i used to be, 4-5 dreams every morning. I never had a problem with recall, i always had it even before i practice lucid dreaming, its just lately these 2 weeks my recall reached an absolute zero. 0 - 1/2 a dream a night :S
Dont know why, it will probably come back soon. Its just a shame its gone when i got really serious about lucid dreaming again >.< |
