What do you find hard in LDs?

For me it’s always like a replica of the first side of the mirror, except in reverse, as if the mirror’s a window rather than a reflection. But everything’s different outside of that one room - it’s like having stepped into a different world entirely. I thought it was pretty straightforward, actually, but I guess it’s different for different people.

Inever had any problems with flying. In fact, with me it seems effortless. I do have problems with materializing objects or making people appear. I’ve even tried what some of the experts say by trying to find the object in a natural way like searching for it or meeting people by saying “when i walk around the corner i will see gilbert gottfried”. I’ve also tried to shoot a laser from my finger which didn’t work either. But i like to think of such situtation as someone like a wizard honing his magic.
kinda of topic but i’d like to grab the space in front of me and tear a time rip or black hole im my next LD.

Flying is a bit of an issue for me - losing my grip on the ground seems to make my dreams start to fall apart quicker.

I can’t seem to do anything sexual either - I don’t have enough time in my dreams (~5 min, this really sucks) to find a girl, so I try to create them… and this only results in the creation of random objects. Extremely random objects. When I do run into a girl, doing anything sexual results in the breakdown of the dream.

Last night, I was dreaming I was at the beach, and decided to try to create some girls in front of me - instead, I got a huge pile of fish. So I said screw it and had a barbeque :content: and had no trouble creating the BBQ, beer, lawn chairs…

When I was a kid and dreaming, i used to think this was because I didn’t have any sexual experience to use as a template - which seemed to make sense - but now I have experience galore, and dream sex still doesn’t work.

I have trouble remebering to do things other than fly, I get lucid and I think, yay, I’m gonna fly. Also I can’t take off from the ground I have to jump off something even if it’s just a chair.

Changing gravity and going through solid objects are tough for me; Flying wasn’t too hard (I flew like superman in my first ld!)

I find hard pornography in my lds:)

The hard thing for me isn’t making things appear, but making them stay. Also, it is hard to make new locations, they have a tendency to look like somewhere I already know.

Flying isn’t hard for me. What’s hard is confronting my fears. I faced a few spiders once and then lost it. Or I’ll be up really high and lose it too. Ironically, I can fly no prob but standing on a cliff or something is too hard.

I have problems flying… I did it once, by jumping off a sky scraper. I fell pretty far before I flew over the street at an incredible speed.

heh only 1 LD so far so I can’t say what’s hard or not…

but flying wasn’t hard at all…I just jumped and started to fly.I couldn’t teleport myself though :smile:

what i find hard is gaining height in flying. At one point i will become scared i will fall down, so i usually stay at about 20 metres above the ground. That is, if i can get that high, i often seem not to be able to gain height.

At least you’re able to get off the ground. :tongue:

If you guys have trouble flying, maybe this website will be of help…

Interesting link Josh Thanks!

No promblemo :ok:

My only problem is that my LD’s are too short…

I find it hard to do just about anything in LDs.
I can’t find any DCs, I don’t have any super powers exept flying (and flying usually wakes me up), I get distracted by things I wouldn’t find very interesting IRL (I have wasted too many LDs on looking at trees), I have tried making food and DCs appear, but nothing happens and then I wake up.
Besides flying, I think I have only done something cool in my LDs a few times. I’ve gone through the mirror twice.
The first time, I ended up in an amazing psychedelic vision and then I woke up. Second time I just came out through the same mirror at the same time I stepped through.

i actually flew in my first LD, but not very far, high, or long :bored:
In my next LD, I walked through a wall, and in my third i
materialized something. My biggest problem is that i’ve never
really been able to match the “level” of my first LD…

I’m sure that if i just get aware enough, i would have no
problem whith flying better.

(A little off-topic, but my next goal in LDing is
trying out what it’d be like to be god :dark: )

To become lucid, and do anything at all.

Stay lucid… it drives me nuts.
