Dreams Too Solid

[cloud]

I've had a couple lucid dreams now where I have tried and failed to put my hand thru a wall, jump thru a closed window, or something else involving me trying to move through a seemingly solid surface. I know I'm dreaming and that dreams aren't solid like normal reality, so why can't I "phase-shift" (or whatever the proper term is)? Does anyone else have this problem?

Moving through solid objects is really tough. It took me a long time to be able to do it.

Some tips and advice:
1. Believe you can. More important than you probably realize.
2. Move through as quickly as you can, don't dally or play with it.
3. Once you penetrate the "solid" it will feel almost like you are becoming part of it as your molecules combine with its molecules. That's why you need to move quickly to keep your coalescence (is that a word?) Don't let your energy combine with its energy.
4. Get a running start and launch yourself through.
5. Close your eyes.

Thanks for the tips.

What would happen if you didn't move fast enough? It seems like you are saying that dream objects can have their own energy that is not necessarily good for you.

If you stay too long in a solid, you end up merging with it. That's been my experience anyway. Your molecules and its molecules start doing something that doesn't feel very good.

Here's something that's worth a shot to try:

Play a first person game like quake or doom that has a "walk through walls" cheat code and convince your mind that's what happens when you bump into "solid" objects. If that still doesn't work, try saying "wall hack" out loud in your dreams as a cue to turn on this ability.

Watching x-men 3 or the matrix 2 might also help.

(I'm interested in hearing your results if you do decide to do this)

That seems like it might work for me. Whenever I've tried to jump thru a glass window, I feel like I get stuck in it like in an FPS that's a little buggy: you're character somehow lands in a wall and the viewpoint doesn't know which perspective is right, so you just kinda wobble in place for a couple seconds before you die. That's kinda what happens to me, except I wake up.

[Erin Pavlina]

Yeah, that's why you gotta launch yourself through with some speed so your momentum carries you through.

[ViceVirtue]

Yeah, I was going to suggest watching The Matrix again, if only somewhat tongue-in-cheek. It's not enough to know you can bend the rules, you have to believe you can, just like Erin said.

There is no spoon.

This is a great technique that works wonderfully. In fact, I just had a dream last night (non-lucid) where I was easily passing through the environment, exactly how I was the night before in a video game (Half-Life 2).

This happens for lots of things you do in real life. A funny example is that my friend is a camera man. He wears headphones, and takes cues from some other guy. In his dreams, he can command, "Pan left" and the dream will slowly pan left as if he were controlling the dream camera.

Our dreams and lucid dreams are a reflection of how we view reality and visa versa, our reality is a reflection of our dreams because what you believe is what you will see. Depending on your limited beliefs and how strong they are, you will notice the ability to control your dreams is determined by how you view life. For example: if you had a limited belief that says, "even if it is possible to fly in reality it might take many lifetimes to master." That limited belief will be your downfall when it comes to dreaming as well and will continue to be until you correct it, so you notice that even in your dream world it takes practice to fly, you can do it because your desire lead you there yet the practice is unavoidable unless you understand that lucid dreaming is your dream, and you are completely in control of lucid dreams. I mean this is your imagination! How can your imagination be limited? The imagination has Infinite Potential and if you truly wanted your imagination to take you to your desire of flying then it will. If you want to fly in your imagination then just do it, there is no limit except the limit you give it by not imagining it. Your dreams are your imagination! Is there anything really solid in your dream? If you believe that there is then yes your right because your limited belief will prove that to you, but think on this deeply and you will understand a dream is nothing more then the imagination.

If you understand this completely then it is easy to see that just by knowing this your lucid dreaming experiences will truly express your hearts desire to fly. Once that happens for a while eventually you will also see this desire being reflected into your reality. Through a series of events and experiences of lucid dreaming you will find that your lucid dream world will reflect onto your reality (unless you have a limited belief that stops it from happening) because what you put out gets reflected back to you. Your desire will move to the next level. You will soon adopt that reality is merely a dream that feels real. Unless you have a limited belief about reality then you will start to question reality's form. Must people think they know the difference from dream to reality because reality seems more solid then dreams, so when they are awake then they can compare the two and feel the difference. Yet I know that reality only seems solid compared to your dreams when your awake because you expect and belief reality to be solid. For most people this is safe to them, but I feel it is a limited belief. How do you know your dreaming? The only way you ever know is when you wake up. How do you know your not dreaming? Perhaps you have not woke up yet... What causes a person to wake up from a dream? Usually something happens in the dream to cause intense feeling of danger like a nightmare or sometimes things feel too good to be true and you wake yourself up because you question it. Either way it is always an intense situation in the dream to where you feel you can't take it anymore and must wake up. I am only referring to the dreams that feel real while having them. The dreams that you vividly remember. The dreams that you don't question the reality nature of them until something wakes you up. The dreams that are your reality until you wake up. These dreams can only be described as reality until you do wake-up. Perhaps something in what you call reality right now something will happen to cause you to wake-up. Do you sometimes question your reality? Does it sometimes not feel so solid or real, like a surreal situation? Did something happen that made you look away or hide within yourself because you feared what it might be? Do you fear the unknown of that feeling? How do you feel when you stay up for more then 24 hours? What does it mean to be sleep deprived? Could it be you waking yourself up to such a point that you fear it so you must sleep in order to dream and confirm your reality? What is sleep? How do you know your sleeping without dreaming? How do you know your dreaming without waking? How do you know you're awake? If a dream can feel so real then what is reality? Can you wake up in your dream if you believe it to be a dream? Can you fall asleep in reality if you believe it to be real? Can you fall asleep in a dream if you believe the dream to be real? Can you wake-up from reality if you belief it to be a dream? Through my experience the answer is yes, if you see life as a dream then dream-like experiences will be reflect onto your reality. When you feel it is a dream because you feel that and you can fly in your dreams, then it must reflect that reality to you, rather that reality is a dream or not.

I hope my perspective inspires you to see things in a new light and ask more questions within yourself because it is truly within that the answers to any question a waiting to be revealed and shared. The beauty of this wonder is that every answer from within is differently individually unique and yet the complexity of it is individually the same in unity, like each of us have a piece of the puzzle and together we make and see a bigger picture! Be who you are and have inner sight to see within yourself the insight that is full of infinite potential and unlimited possibilities!
