What kind of goal do you usually set? I used to set some small goals like flying, handling physical objects, going to a specific place etc. Unfortunately these are fairly easily achieved and after that my LD's quickly fail and (and are therefore still short). Maybe one should set a more specific and complex goal, but then again: the dream setting I get lucid in is random and often doesn't match the goal.
