Dream weapon limitations?

Weapons?

indeed… weapons^

could you give an example of some limitations, i mean i thought these things where limited to our imaginations… hows your imagination? lol

Well, there are various levels of lucidity in dreams. If you have a low level of lucidity, your subconscious will have much more power over the dream than your conscious self does.

In those situations, things may not work the way people intend. In a way it is limited to our imagination, yes. But our conscious imagination is also limited by how lucid we are in a dream. So, by becoming more aware of the dream state, and becoming more aware of the fact that it’s all a product of your own mind, then your imagination will be that much more powerful.

In truth, there shouldn’t be a limit. It’s your dream so the only limit is your imagination. Though there have been times when I had low lucidity and had to use what I could find lying around. Magic has to be the best weapon…

There really shouldnt be, but like it was mentioned it depends on your level of lucidity i suppose. Honestly mine is subpar considering i never bother to interfere in the course of the dreams themselves most of the time :silent:. I’ve never remembered to do any tasks at all XD

aah thank you. has anyone ever tried to curve a bullet in a dream? hahaha

Haha no, never tried any wanted stunts before. But i think i’ll see if i cant have a lucid dream tonight. If i remember to try it i’ll let you know how it goes XD.

nice… hope it works

I can’t recall any lucid gunfights, but in my normal dreams I often dodge the bullets, or they miss me by a hair.

I tend to often resort to magic-ish stuff, though, so I guess I could curve a bullet, though I’d much rather reflect it with a spear or something. Or cleave it in half with a lightning bolt.

as defense yea, but what about fired from your own gun? same thing?

when the bullets come toward you do you see them in slow-mo or slowish?

Hmm, I guess that in my dreams most gunfire is fairly “normal” as far as time is concerned. Usually I don’t even really see the bullets because they move too fast.

I’ve yet to get into a lucid gunfight, so I don’t know what I’d do then.

So are you folks saying that your lucid dreams are like video games where you’re tearing things up and killing people?

Or are these non-lucid dreams that you’re talking about?

I think they’re talking about both. You can do whatever you want in your dreams. using weapons to go on killing sprees can be one of them.

I dunno. Weapons have never really given me an issue in dreams. I think it depends on your expectations. Anyway, if you wanna shoot someone, you can just use magic. :tongue:

yep both. id like to have gunfire come out of my finger tips, thats some magic id like to try : )

Ok check curving bullets off my lucid to do list :wink: Didnt turn lucid enough to do it the first night, forgot it the second, got it tonight XD Wasnt much of a curve though. more like a right angle :meh: again not what i planned!

@ arne: No specifically just happend that i turned lucid during a battle/escape dream and followed it. When trying out my spiritgun(you can classify it as magic i guess) it would only kill if i shot directly at the head. Hence, my question about any limitations others experienced.

Unlike my NDs, in LDs guns tend to not function. It’s the whole idea of technical things not working in dreams because they don’t actually have any mechanics in them. I can’t trust the nonexistant mechanics inside the weapon to fulfil their function because there are no inner workings in the dream gun. It’s all pretense, and I don’t have any confidence that the gun will fire when I pull the trigger, because logically, there is no reason that it should. It depends on when I want it to fire, and the trigger has nothing to do with it. It’s just no fun that way. I know it is all because I don’t just go with it. In NDs things like that are easy, but I don’t have control. Funny how that works.

oh well thats still not bad considering the the velocity a bullet is meant to travel at, in any case.

Meh, I rather use magic, I even went that far that I killed someone with Avada Kedavra :tongue: or I just rip apart everyone with a single finger :tongue:

never gotten shot in my dreams… but ive got eaten many times XD

I’ve never used a weapon in a LD, but its now on my to-do list. I’ll let you know how it goes.
