Lucid Dream Method Shifting Novels & Stories

I rushed out of my clothes without a thought of self-consciousness and then I rubbed my palms together, rocking on the balls of my feet. “What now? How do I shift?” I closed my eyes, waiting for the instructions. It was supposed to be something like imagining it right? Imagine yourself as a wolf and then you shift. ‘Yes, that’s it,’ my wolf confirmed and then an image of a snow-white wolf with icy blue eyes that could captivate the strongest of hearts, similar to the ones I had now, flashed in my head. I held on to that image and imagined myself turning into that wolf.

I fought the shiver that coursed through my body, and I began to twirl my fingers nervously. “First, I want to explain to you the basic concepts of shifting. When your first shift happens, on the full moon, it’ll feel like another being has woken up inside you. Like you’re sharing your body with another if that makes sense.” It didn’t, but I nodded anyway.

At first, I could do it with the force of will, but a year ago I had to borrow my sister’s old med school textbooks and the internet to search for something stronger. I had first considered things like morphine but being so addictive I figured becoming an addict could be worse than actually shifting. It took me a while but finally, I figured out a special cocktail of muscle relaxants, sedatives, and traces of wolfsbane that would prevent me from shifting by forcing my body and mind to become very relaxed, almost to the point of going to sleep.

I tipped my chin up to meet the piercing gaze of Valentin. “This method of shifting is particularly successful in young wolves,” he said softly. “It forces your body to get used to the shift quicker and it forces the body to accept it quicker. It’s harsh but it works.” My chest was still heaving. “How many times to get it to work?” “Usually, I can get a wolf to max out at about ten shifts per minutes,” he tilted his head. “You got to five.”

Paisley begins to guide them through the process of lucid dreaming. "Take a deep breath and relax," Dr. Paisley tells the subject. "Imagine yourself lying in a meadow, with the sun shining down on you. You feel the warmth of the sun on your face, and you hear the sound of birds singing in the trees. As you lie there, you become aware that you're dreaming. You know that you can control the dream if you want to." The subject follows Dr. Paisley's instructions, and soon they're fully immersed in the lucid dream.

“Please, make a decision wisely!” She gulps and then continues. “My friend Katya will hold a session of meditation once this evening and again tomorrow morning where she’d guide you to focus on the being you want to shift into in the werewolf world so that it becomes easier for you to focus on the same tomorrow during the shift. Please trust yourself if you can’t trust me. You have been training to make your bodies ready for the shift and you have been strengthening your mind to make the shift smoother. Trust your hard work.”

I chuckled at his bare frame. "I think the moon is in my favor tonight," he laughed again. "Come on, shift." Shift? Now it wasn't Lydia taking over; it was me taking control of my body. 'How do I do that'? I panicked. 'Neil, please, I don't know how to. What if I can't shift? Will I remain in my wolf form forever'? 'Don't panic. Just speak to Lydia, and she will withdraw', Neil replied via the mind link. I turned to Lydia. She was wagging her tail, enjoying the cool breeze brushing across her face.

“I’ll have you know, little wolf, I was there once too. When I first shifted, I fought it. Thought I could out think it. But it’s not a fight you win with logic. It’s a leap. And you don’t land until you’ve already jumped.” A silence settled between us, broken only by the rustling of leaves far above. “Sit,” he said. “Close your eyes.” I hesitated, before obeying reluctantly, lowering myself to the cold earth. I sat cross legged, pressing my palms against the ground like I could harness the will to transform from mother nature. Julian sat a few feet away, legs stretched out, leaning back on his elbows. “What do you hear?” I strained. “The wind. Birds.”

She tried to empty her mind but found it impossible, so she thought of a positive place. Her mind jumped to the old tree house Tony Lacy, and she used to play at when they were just kids. She imagined herself sitting there on one of those perfect summer days. After a few minutes, Lily felt more relaxed than she had felt since this whole mess had started. “Now Lily, I want you to give over control to the beast slowly, just until you feel as if you’re about to shift. Your skin will tingle as if electric shocks are running across your body. Once you feel like it’s almost painful, then take back the control so you don’t shift,” James told her.
