Lucid Crossroads at last!

lol :alien:

I’ve revamped the Crossroads.

The site is now a bit more logical and better looking, I’ve also added more to the sections on how to LD with some visual help.

I’ve told the receptionists to be on standby as much as possible so hopefully they will be there for you when you arrive. :content:

Im sorry if it sounds silly but i was just wondering about eventuall possibilities connected with Crossroads.Thats a blank shot but ill try:

Couldnt there be anyone(dc or something) who walks around and seeks for dreamers?Either makeing them lucid or guiding them to the Crossroads?Is it possibile?
thx

Cool Jack you mean like creating an LD dream character who we would describe and illustrate. He/She or it would operate outside the Crossroads boundaries able to move into your regular dream, wake you into lucidity and guide you to the Crossroads.

It would work exactly like the Crossroads, I’d work up a couple of view of the character, descibe in text etc etc.

What would it be like? Angelic? male female?

Suggestions, anyone else think this helps with the Crossroads idea?

Crossroads? :eh: This may seem kind of stupid but I’ve never heard this term before. Could someone please elaborate? Greatly appreciated, thanks. :content:

  1. Its a website mysite.freeserve.com/LucidCrossr … mepage.htm

  2. On the site are illustrations of a place called the Lucid Crossroads and textual discriptions.

  3. Lucid dreamers all over the world can get the look and the feel of the Crossroads in their minds so when they become lucid they can meet up in the same place.

I think thats it in a nutshell

Male ?Female?Just look at my avatar:):slight_smile:

Yep thats what i meant…some character to operate on herself…helping us.dragging us if necessary.
If you ask me…fantasy style would be nice.But whats most important-operative and reliable and efficient.
can it be done?

It can be, and I’ll do it might take a few weeks, keep posting any suggestions.

Hey pantalimon,
The new site looks really good. I think the idea of making it the crossroads as accessible as possible is a good one.

I was thinking, perhaps you could add some kind of astral opening into the site. Okay - so astral realm for me is normally dark, full of energy - feels like my mind is swimming in it. Maybe some opening glass with these type of patterns inside of it, which pops you out into the crossroads.

Perhaps part of the place could also be situated in water. From what I have heard, water is a great medium for travelling. Watching water - it’s so hypnotic.

Since you’ve already got water (sorry, didn’t realise), perhaps connect it to some larger water source. Like an ocean, at the back of the crossroads. Some dream interpreters say the ocean can be related to the concept of the collective unconscious. For me, the ocean is a place where successfull meetings with other dreamers have taken place. Being connected to a larger waterway, would give a stronger sense of this taking place. Anyway, just some thoughts.

Thanks.[/b]

Sounds good Explora, I’m collecting some really good updates from people via email and on the forums.

Unfortunately they are all going to have to wait a while till :-

  1. I get another computer, either a mega powerful one or 2 computers, this is cause I intend to use Lightwave to create the updated Crossroad images and that takes more power (or time on my computer which I ain’t got).

  2. Find someone else with a mega powerful computer I that can either render the images over a week or so or do them themsleves (find another 3-d artist with anough time.)

  3. I’ve also got to find time to put it all together, the next images will be a giant leap in quality and realism.

Not that I don’t think these images at the moment are not ok, they do the job but I’d like them better.

Pantamillion-sorry for being so stubborn and repetative.But i dont really get the whole idea.I understand you are creating whole enviroment on the computer,along with DCs helping people and all the stuff.
Did i understand it right that it is possibile for you as for an lder to create such characters to be operating in the astral realm??If so,how???
I admit i took whole thing bit lightly on the beginnning but im getting interested in how do you think you gonna do it?
If you could elaborate about it a bit,id appreciate:)

Well Jack what I know of astral theory goes bit like this, permanant objects, people, places etc have to be in the physical plane for a while before they are formed in the astral.

This is why many OBing/astral projecting experiments fail, you’ll only ever see that peice of paper on the top shelf with the symbol writen on it after its sat there for ages.

Actually it not the thing itself that becomes formed in the astral. If you created a sculpture of something it not that the material object somehow leaches into the astral its the objects representation in the makers mind and all those who then see that object.

This is how you might not be able to find a unicorn in our world but you’d sure find one in the astral, its cause so many people have its representation in there minds.

Its a bit like what Plato thought but turned on its head. Plato thought that there was the perfect ideal of every object in the world in the afterlife and that everything we see here on earth is a mere copy of the ideal.

Anyway I stictly beleive in Lucid dreaming but could see that many people constantly dreaming about, or seeing the website of the Crossroads could create that place in the astral given time. That goes for characters like the receptionists too.

Hope that helps Pantalimon

I have been trying to get to the crossroads for quite a while now. I’ve been trying in lucid dreams about 4 times a week, for the last couple of weeks. Before this the closest I’d got was having the couch and an almost exactly the same carpet in a dark room. There was also a mirror in the room. Anyway, my most recent dream gave me the feeling that I am getting closer.

The Way to the Crossroads
I am lying in a bed in a room, which is similar to my own. I become lucid, and get out by leaning my hand on the bed and focusing on my intent. I am surprised by how well this is working these days. I open the door to get out of the room, and find myself in a futuristic looking hallway. Just ahead of me, I see a large sign. It reads ‘Crossroads’. I get the feeling somebody has placed it here for me. The text is styled in a similar way to the site itself, and just beside it is a symbol. It seems to be pointing out a direction, but I am not sure which way to go. The door to the left is closest, and I reach for this one. I get the feeling this will take me there. I struggle with the handle for a moment, and am disappointed when I soon wake. (The symbol reminded me of the graphic on the ‘return’ or ‘enter’ keys present on some computers . Looking back, I am quite sure I chose the door the arrowhead faced).

cool explora.

I will definately push on as quick as possible with this dream guide that Jack suggested. I’ll make it clear in the description that it will not mess around and take you directly to the Crossroads.

Yeah really persistent :grin:

Well done Pantamillion:)Guides are really nice,place is cool…its all very interesting.
I tried for few nights to getr there but no luck so far.Even in nonlds:(.Either im doing something wrong…or you should talk seriously to your guides.Maybe they should spend less time in the tavern and more in search for dreamers?:)hehe
Well…i cant wait to sign the log myself…i really got obsessed with the idea and i envy you so much of having such a telents and such a place there to visit.Frustrating stuff:)
