How to be a Na'vi in your dreams

The Na'vi from Avatar are a great lucid dream subject, so I decided to write a guide on how to be one in a dream. Even if you haven't seen the movie you can still do this.
First of all, become lucid (realize that you're dreaming). I will write a guide on this later but you can go to Wikihow and search for it.
Part 1
Pandora
-------------------------------------
Pandora is a planet that sort of looks like Earth from space. It is covered in jungle with huge plants that glow in the dark. You should really see Avatar to get the idea, but here are some pictures.


There are all sorts of strange creatures on Pandora.

To get to Pandora, simply fly up into outer space and zoom around until you find a earth-like planet (it will be there if you expect to find it, this is your dream).

Part 2
Your new Na'vi body
----------------------------------
The Na'vi are usually about 8-10 feet tall. They have blue skin (with faint light-blue stripes) and yellow eyes. Their ears are pointy, and they have tails and catlike noses. The Na'vi also have glow in the dark spots, as shown in the first picture below. To transform, just imagine becoming a Na'vi. If it doesn't work, look around, tell yourself something like "there will be a mirror around that corner" and get to a mirror. Then you can look at your reflection and change it. Here are some pictures to use as a reference.


The Na'vi usually wear simple lioncloths. The females wear small tops and are not that modest, sometimes with only a feather or shell blocking their nipple.They also have headpeices like the one in the above picture.
If you want, you can carry a bow. Most Na'vi also have knives.

Part 3
Daily Na'vi Life
-------------------------------------
The Na'vi live in a big tree called Hometree.
Here, the Na'vi eat, talk, and dance around campfires. They sleep in hammocks.


There are also direhorses kept at hometree. All Na'vi have a braid that ends in tendrils. There is hair that covers the tendrils, but they can pull it back with a simple touch. Many Pandora animals have a similar thing, exept the animals of course dont grow hair over it and they dont braid it.
In your dream, you can connect your braid to an animal's "braid", enabling you to ride the animal almost effortlessly. Take the direhorse, for example. It is a six legged blue horse, with glow in the dark spots like the Na'vi. They ride it for fun or hunting purposes.



You can use your new bow to shoot yeriks. They look like six legged blue deer.

Part 4
The floating Mountains
The floating mountains of Pandora are where you'll find ikran. Ikran are sort of dragon-looking things with antenne like the direhorse (which you connect your braid to to fly effortlessly). Perhaps the most fun part of being a Na'vi is flying on the back of your very own Ikran. The beasts are many different shades of mottled green, blue, red, orange, purple, brown, and even silver. Here are some pictures of Ikran.

Part 5
Eywa
--------------------------
Eywa is the goddess that the Na'vi worship. She is made up of all living things and keeps the balance of life in harmony. At many sites like the Tree of Voices and Tree of souls, Na'vi can connect their braids to special trees, allowing them to speak and pray directly to Eywa. She can be very real in your dreams. You should use your Na'vi dreams as a way to be in harmony with Eywa and nature, and not just fly around on an Ikran.
Here are some pictures from the Tree of Souls (first 4) and Tree of Voices (the rest).
