The GOAL technique, as I have proudly called it, is my latest idea to aid in gaining lucidity.

Anyway, this is mainly for newbies like me, but can also help a few people in dry spells I think. This doesn't really apply for people who are already good at lucid dreaming.

Basically, when you think "lucid dream", you think of what it is. It's a dream where you can feel and see and control what is happening, and shape it for your entertainment, etc etc. Thats the DV dictionary definition.

But thats only half the story, and how do you get somewhere with only half the directions? My technique is all about what we do in Lucid dreams, which for most newbies, or at least the ones I have met, is probably one of the haziest part of their idea of lucid dreams.

My idea is that if we have clearly defined goals, or a to do list etched into our heads, then we will find attaining lucidity much easier. If we go to bed saying "I am going to lucid dream" and our subconscious mind is going "Well what does that involve?" then we won't get anywhere, or it will at least delay our efforts.

If we clearly set out what we want to do as soon as we become lucid, then I believe we will have an easier time getting to that point. Instead of wanting to just get lucid, we should know of and want to do something, a precise thing in a lucid dream.

I know some people on here have to-do lists under their posts already, which is good. I think that to-do lists, or any idea of what you want to do in a lucid are severely overlooked, and not recognized as a huge part of the journey to lucidity.
If we can imagine what we are going to do as soon as we become lucid, that aids the visualization of lucidity, and overall aids the quickens the process.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
