Subject: Dreamotion "Lessons"

With the current dreamotion distortion occurring all over and the number of times I've needed to assist those who lack understanding and experience, it would be prudent for there to be a "class" or "training session" for those who are new or need further assistance. If nothing else, learning the basics will help others to advance and develop on their own.

This is a call to any who are willing to help with this endeavor.

While I am willing to assist, I have other commitments that won't allow me to do more than offer start up support, organization if necessary, and advice and insight into using dreamotion. I'm sure there are those who are as or more capable than I, so I have no issue if someone else would like to take charge.

In the meantime, I can offer some private lessons or a one time public demonstration with others who would like to help, but that would be the extent of my involvement.

You are free to use this entry to ask questions and answer each other. Providing tips and advice may help those who have recently arrived. While there are some common trends and techniques, bear in mind that dreamotion will work differently and uniquely to the individual. What works for you might not for another.

[Probably need to start a pamphlet... Someone get on that—]

[ooc: THREADJACKING ENCOURAGED. Threads can also switch to action if needed. As mentioned, this idea is free for anyone else to take over or help in a similar way because lmfao while Eustace is fine helping every now and then, he already has enough on his hands. One of which I've made a new OOC post for about the permanent residency. Some sign-up confirmations, some tasks and requests, and other things are there, so if you're still interested please look into it!]

So it really is different for everybody? I was kind of hoping there would be a kind of general jumping off point.

I thought I would try and see if I could figure it out myself, but it's sort of hard to get my head around it?

I believe there are some common trends, particularly if you are familiar with magic or something similar. But as it will be affected by one's own personal emotions and focus, it will still likely differ.

What have you tried so far?

I guess I tried thinking about it really hard. Like really hard.

I wonder if that's why I'm having kind of a hard time with it. My world doesn't even have magic, so it's hard to imagine being able to do it.

[Hmmmm.]

Have you been able to use your dreamotion more easily in other areas? Or noticed when your emotions may have affected or manifested in certain ways without thinking?

Well, I haven't really managed to do anything on purpose.

A lot of the time I get too wrapped up in whatever is going on to notice, but now that you mention it, I guess I do tend to get sort of glittery a lot. Mostly when I get excited about something, I think.

Then I have some suggestions, though I can't guarantee they will work.

Since you mention you get "wrapped up" in what's around you, you should find a quiet place to isolate yourself and focus on a single thing you want to achieve. It could be something minor, such as creating a small gust of wind, a spark of flame, freezing water, or something else. Keep it to something simple that you can easily visualize in your mind.

You also mention "glitter" when you get excited... While it may be a bit more difficult to try and use and control, there may be something you can do with it. You could also experiment and see if anything different happens with a different type of "energetic" emotion.

[She was so excited, she immediately began taking notes right there in the journal before remembering herself and scrambling to find something else to write on. This all sounds like really good stuff and she can't risk forgetting any of it.]

So I should try to pay attention to what kind of stuff my emotions do normally and see if I can work with it?

Correct. It can give you a base to work on rather than trying from nothing.

And once I start getting a handle on stuff I can already sort of do, I can use that to start working on new stuff!

[It doesn't occur to her that that's just how learning works.]

Thanks so much for this! I wasn't sure before but now I'm starting to think I might actually be able to do figure this out!

[Hey, as long as she understands.]

Just remember to take it slow and start small. Even if you manage a stronger spell or reaction, controlling it is still requires time and practice.

If you have further questions or need assistance, you are free to contact me unless you find someone else more suitable for your needs.

For real?! I mean I'll totally try not to bother you too much because your message made it sound like you're really busy but that's so cool of you, thank you!

If there's anything I can do to say thanks for all this great advice just let me know! I can more or less kind of do lots of stuff.

I have some flexibility and in general I don't mind helping on occasion, particularly through journals. However, if you need more personal assistance then it would need to be scheduled.

[Private lessons on occasion he can do...but to dedicate and wholly commit to a larger group is more difficult. That and he doesn't think he's the right type of person for that—]

But don't worry about repayment. I'd be satisfied with your own improvements. [Small pause.] However, if you feel so inclined, stop by the Starflower Cafe and Sanctuary that will be opening soon.

[JUST A CASUAL PLUG...]
