Did anyone read the book, "Art of Dreaming".

I read the first two chapters and it says first
1. to intend to have a lucid dream(or dream) and if you have lucid dreamed even for a little bit, intend to experience the feeling of lucid dreaming.

2. When you do lucid dream, glance back and forth from your hands to objects in the dream. The idea is if you stare at things for too long in the dream you might waste the rest of the dream just staring at it. Try to look at as much objects for as long as you can without losing control.

3. Try and change the dream by controlling the what the next dream will be about

4. There's more but it becomes "abstract" really quickly.

My own experience with being in the lucid dream included staring at things for the entire dream, and that was fun enough, but I was able to control the dream, eventually.

The idea of imagining an object and going into the dream being that object was told to me from a Budhist believer who said to visualize a lotus until you are dreaming about a lotus, yeah it had worked but I didn't know a possibility was becoming a lotus by the time the dream started. I like flowers to some extent, but I didn't want to be a flower, and at the time I couldn't control the dream, I was just a flower in a grassy plane simply existing lucid in a dream somewhere. So yeah, an animal is reasonable, for those of you who can WILD but can't control the dream content, I would suggest being something that can fly, just my personal take, I really like flying.
