Increasing lucidity and remembering goals

**Awesomeness** · 01-05-2011 03:55 AM

In my dreams I can always do whatever I want. Unlike other people I have had no problem controlling my dreams. There is nothing I can't do and I firmly know everything I do will work.

The problem is, when I become lucid, I'm not lucid enough or something, because I always fly around or do whatever comes to mind. I don't ever do anything interesting or remember my goals.

How can I fix this?

I would suggest trying to visualize your goal sensually or at least attempt to imagine what it may be like (ex: you may not know what meeting your dream guide may be like but just try to imagine what you may think will happen.) for example say my goal is to summon lightning, I would tell myself before i sleep that my dream will be of me summoning lightning. I would also remain calm and focus on that goal, where would i be? what motion or thought would summon it? how would it feel to me? how would the experience smell? how would it appear? would it summon slow or fast? then just tell yourself that you will complete that goal. then possibly repeat.

hope that helped. Good luck!

same with me, i always just start flying because its the first thing i think about. maybe eventually i will get bored of flying and remember my dream goals

Maybe when you perform reality checks in real life you could follow it by looking at a piece of paper with a list of goals on it - this way after performing a reality check in a dream you're likely to remember the list, and even if it doesn't appear in front of you, it should spur you to remember to try accomplish your goals.
