shape shifting has been culturally present in human society for a rather long time. Deer Dancer, a book by Michele Jamal is a great collection of Shape-Shifting folklore from across the globe.

as for actually shape-shifting... that is a tricky one.

i would recommend exploring the terrain in your dreamscape. in other words, if you are able to lucid dream (become aware you are dreaming in your dream), you can then attempt to shape-shift. (some folks fly, some folks breath under water. once you are able to "go lucid" you can pretty much do as you will. "going lucid" is the tricky part, and is a whole other topic)

i have done this in Lucid Dreams several times, becoming a variety of mammals. it is quite a bizarre experience... and yet, running as an animal feels quite natural and exilerating.

anyhow... that would by my suggestion. experiment with Lucid Dreaming.
research folklore on the subject... Native American and Druidic cultures especially. in these cultures... during sacred Rites (usually involving halucinigenics and a properly trained priest/shaman on hand) one can also achieve the experience of Shape-Shifting. these are powerful and old ceremonies, and i am not advocating going out and doing drugs... just offering cultural relevances.


if you are into Role Playing Games, Whitewolf has a gaming system called Werewolf that explores the topic as well. you can be a wolf. you just gotta roll some dice to do it!


a last tidbit: the term Berserker comes from the word "Bear Shirt". the Viking front-line shock troops would wear shirts made of Bear fur, drink some crazy brew that would, in their minds, turn them into Bears, in which they would gain remarkable strength and do some serious damage on the battle-field. most Berserkers did not survive the battle however. but they certainly made hell for their foes.

good luck. explore, but be wary. altering the psyche is not a trifle thing.

lucid dreams are exremely appealing to me. ive never had one, but i have read on them before. i feel as if it would be an incredible escape to be able to achieve. i will look much more into this. thank you.

of course logic would incline me to agree. but "can't" is a strong word. it implies never, and never is an absolute. i try my darndest to avoid absolutes. life and the universe is far too infinite for that.

That's true, so let me re-word this. Unless some totally unknown, utterly fantastic, creepily powerful and probably alien influence happens, you just can't do it.

How's that for non-absolute?
