Usually text in dreams is fluid. It will rarely be readable, and it will never stay the same. This works for clocks, and numbers in general as well. Teaching yourself to recognize these things is harder than conditioning reality checks, but they're a good secondary method for a surprise lucid dream session.
Also, while lucid dreaming you can modify the dream in a couple of ways. Either think about what you want to do or where you want to go, then pass through a doorway, or window. It doesn't need to be an actual door - any type of threshold will work. A hole in the floor, a cave, a gate, anything. Our physical, waking brains do a data dump when we we walk through a threshold, so our sleeping brains do this, too. Another way is to speak your desire in your dream. "I'm going to fly", "I will have a sword", etc. Speaking your desire will help them manifest.
I've never done any astral projection, and I've never lucid dreamed reliably, but I lucid dream multiple times a month using these secondary methods, and I have fun using both the threshold, and speaking into existence manipulation methods.
Op, can you speak yourself into your etherial body? How do you stay calm enough to not "pop" awake? I always get too worried I'm going to wake up... and wake up.
when I'm lucid dreaming I can "speak" myself into whatever situation by just saying what I want out loud in my dream. Just curious if this method works with astral projection as well. I've never put too much effort into any of this (and it shows).
I see, it's one of 2 ways know to reliably "transform the scene". the other is passing through a doorway or window, which is more unreliably, and less specific.
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely consider putting more effort into it, instead of just being an accidental tourist.
