The act of Travelling is something that nearly all Talented can do. It is a basic level ability that is usually the first of all Talents to be determined. Not in all cases, of course.
Now, travelling does not mean jumping into a car or onto your bicycle and going to the corner market, at least not in this sense. No, travelling means going from your mind to another person's mind at will.
In order to travel to a person you've never travelled to before, it is best to have a picture on which you can see whoever you will be travelling to clearly. It is possible to do it without a picture, but very hard. The more connections, the easier it becomes.
When you first start travelling, your eyes WILL REM, or move from side to side like you are dreaming. This fades after a few connections, so that your eyes don't move anymore. The first travel will also be a bit painful, because it will be your first time out of your mind. The first connection will also be very instant, and directional.
It is important to be in deep concentration when you attempt to travel for the first time. Even afterwards, focus and concentration are necessary, but not as much. It takes many connections to be able to travel with little focus.
Upon arriving at someone's mind, what you see depends on your own abilities. You can either see a shield surrounded by some sort of scenery, determined by the person's mood, just the shield, or nothing at all. Visual Aura Sensors can typically see the scenery and the shield, while Sensual Aura Sensors see only the shield, or nothing at all. Anyone without one of these empathic abilities will see nothing at all unless their spiritual eyes are opened. (Also called a 'third eye' or the 'mind's eye.')
The length of time you are able to stay in someone's mind is dependent on your skill level. A new traveler will not be able to stay long at all, while an experienced one will be able to stay for hours on end.
SAFETY:
1. NEVER travel fully with your mind, as though you are travelling as a spirit. This is deadly, for if you are killed in that state, you will die for real. If you send only part, and the part is killed, you will still live, and be able to regain that part as you gain your energy back.
2. Always be careful when travelling without telling the person you are travelling to them, they may have an unconscious reaction to your presence that will send you rocketing back to your body.
3. Chain yourself back to your own mind, in case you ever become trapped in someone else's.
Special Notes:
Almost all humans have shields, whether they are Talented or not.
It is possible to break down a shield and see the mind, but only do this if you absolutely must.
Fighting in the mind while travelling will feel like an actual fight on your body.
If you die in your mind forme, it will feel like you actually died (which you will have, if you sent your full self). ONLY SEND PART.
You can Speak and Hear while in another's mind, but this is another Talent altogether since not everyone is able to.
Any questions? PM me or ask me in the chatango.
