Thread: How can I expand my lucid dream control?

So I've been trying to lucid dream for a while and I get close each time.
The problem is, the moment I become aware that I'm dreaming, I immediately take flight. Like I can't even control it, I just start flying around. I want to be able to do more but no matter what I try, I can't not fly. (haha that rhymed...nevermind. lol again.) Anyway, how can I expand my dream control to do more than just fly around aimlessly?

Intentions. If you look forward to something else than flying, then you will most likely realise that flying is a waste of time, as you've got something else to do. If you're flying off without meaning to, then you gotta stop worrying about it. If you worry you might start floating and fly away, you probably will. This ofcourse starts a vicious circle. Good luck!

Try setting your self small goals and working up from there, ie when you go lucid all you want to do is reach down and touch the ground with you hand. achieve it and then set a new goal. keeping do this and you will not only have more lucid dreams as you reward youself but you will also find you get a lot better at control

Repeating and adding a little to what these guys said, set goals for what you want to do. If you've been on DV enough, you've probably noticed that a lot of users have goals in their signatures.
