Dream Control

Dream control is simply the skill and ability to control your dreams, and how you act and behave in them. The following pages and concepts are centered around what you can do with your dreams once you are lucid and/or in control of them.

Basic actions

Sometimes you don't want to get elaborate with your dream control. Here are a few basic things you can do in dreams (that you probably can't do in real life).

Flying/levitation: you can come up with a system for this, or just... levitate.
Teleportation: switching somehow from one place to another. While this is usually used to enter persistent realms, you can use it within the existing dream scene.
Dream guides: create a dream character or use one that's already there to help you control your dream, or ask them for advice. You'd be surprised how much your dream characters can tell you about dream control.
Spawn items: if you want a lightsaber, just spawn it in.

Persistent Realms

A Persistent Realm is a recurring setting with its own continuing plot. You can read more about what they are, how to create them, and how to visit them on the PRs page.

SCAN

"SCAN" is the name given to an extrasensory sense that can teach you about your dream. Simply ask yourself what the rules are, or where this person is, how to make this legendary artifact, or where you are. If you need an answer, your dream will give it to you.

Other ways of getting information

You can also ask a dream character for certain information, and you'll probably understand the information fully, or just open a web browser in your dream and Google it. You can also try to find your HUD if you need to check status information, such as your health or objective, too.

Stabilization

If you feel like your dreams become "unstable," don't worry! If this happens to you, the simplest and probably the most effective way to deal with it is to ignore it. Alternatively, you can click here to see other methods, which mostly involve grounding yourself in the dream.

Rubbing your hands
Licking the ground
Demand the dream to give you clarity (don't be shy, shout it out!)

Methods of Dream Control

If you're having trouble with the "just do it" method, here are some other things you can try.

Ask a dream character for help, or just ask/demand them to do it for you.
Open settings or another menu.
Run a command-- terminal-style, Minecraft-style, or whatever you prefer.
Code it. Best of all, this doesn't require any real code knowledge to work.
Magic wand.
For flight/levitation:
- Use wings
- Lift yourself off the ground
- Throw yourself at the ground and miss
- Jump and stay in the air
For spawning items:
- Pull it out of your pocket
- Summon it like a lightsaber or Thor's hammer: hold out your hand and wait for it to meet your palm
- Ask someone for it
For teleportation:
- Imagine being in a different place
- Use a teleporter
- Open the teleportation menu or map
- Open a door to your destination
For summoning people:
- Expect/intend to see them around a corner or behind you.
Come up with a reason why whatever you tried didn't work and work around it.
