Thread: What is your next dream goal???

Hmm,

My next dream goal has got to be making the dream as vivid as I can, most have been blurry lately and I want them to feel as real as I possibly can. It's hard to explain, it feels somewhat real in the moment, but after the dream is over I feel a sort of disconnect from it.

I would also like to engage in more interactions with dream characters, it sounds like a whole nother activity in itself and would like to explore it a bit, a lot of my dreams feel like an empty world.

I have yet to actually engage in a full blown conversation with DCs. I'm starting to hear different thoughts on whether DCs are more than just the dreamer's projection.

My next goal is to meet my DG, I don't if I'm over thinking it because at times I wonder if the search is even worth it. I just want to go ahead and get it out the way, but then again I could just forget about it altogether. Having these goals helps us keep order and something to strive for.

My current goal (as shown by my signature) is to play GTA, except to be actually in the game. More long-term, I plan to learn how to dilate time in a dream, although I'm not worrying too much about that right now as I feel it's still quite too advanced for me.

I must say, dream characters can definitely be interesting when interacting with them. I've noticed too that the more vivid the dream is (whether lucid or non-lucid), the more a DC's personality... exists, rather than just feeling like an empty shell with confusing and automated responses. I've had vivid and long dreams with what seemed like actual plots where the plots really revolved around the characters, and their decisions, and etc. etc. Personally I think they're one of the most interesting parts of dreams and worth interacting with, I've even used some in writing stories from being so attached to them.

I'v started working on TOTY, although it doesn't really help that I'm on a dry spell, and we only have a month left. But nothing is impossible And then I can always try for next year, so it will keep me occupied for quite a while.

I've actually played GTA in a non-lucid before. It was weird because it was in 1st and 3rd person at the same time O.o the drifting part was quite interesting.

Once I start interacting with DCs I'm sure I will find greater clarity in my dreams!

Playing video games in dream is fun. I have played a lot non lucid (cod, Zelda, smash bros, dbz) and some lucid (SAO mainly). The best games are probably the ones that dont exist though, the whole craziness is the attention to detail that your mind puts into it. I had a "mask game" that I played once, and the leveling system was very complex and similar to final fantasy, but not quite as frustrating (final fantasy seems to have too many things that you can level up that should just go up when you level up your character if you ask me. )

My next goal is to DS with some people. I am in the middle of trying that... Other than that I am planning on learning more fighting and getting omnipotence soon. I know you said one goal, but I can't have one goal or my consistency goes down. :¶

My next dream goal? Well, apparently I'm going to try to explore a dream without a scrap of lucidity!

Well not an action but I want to *really* look around well, and stabilize thoroughly, so that my visual memory of the LD is strong and I feel very very stable and solid in the dream. So far my physical location sense has been excellent (I could easily draw an overhead map of my exact route through my LDs and what happened in what places, but memory of faces and surrounding details (colors/textures) ends up sort of vague), and work to make the dream as long as possible.

For fun actions I want to fly to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, glide down around through the cables and under the bridge, and then fly in to San Francisco and continue my life as Super Fantastic Man, a superhero from a recent ND that bears further exploration .

And work on DC summoning.

I had a dream many years ago after the death of a very close relative. He had died of cancer that had started in his lungs, and eventually ended up in his brain. For the last few weeks of his life he would drift in and out of consciousness and didn't know what was happening, or even who he was. Soon after he passed, I dreamt that he and I were sitting on a porch, and he was asking me where he was and what happened. I explained his whole progression of his illness to him, and told him that he died. He said "well that explains all of this then" That was the last time I dreamt of him. I would really like to dream of relatives that have passed on, and tell them how important they were to me, and what I missed most about them being gone. I also would like them to tell me how they felt about themselves before death, and now after.
I realize this is a complex issue that lies inside of me, and that there really is no true connection with the dead, but would still like to try it to see what comes of it. While I am able to create most any LD that I want, I have been unable to do this...

At the moment, my dream goal is to actually have a LD.

After that, it's going on the quest to find that Dream Guide.

I want to be as lucid in my dream as possible and analyzing dream characters behavior and looks while having conversation with them. I never really paid much attention to dream characters before.

I want to try out this blob-morphing like Sageous describes it for forming a dream-scene.
If I understood that correctly - I can do it any time in a LD as well, if the WILD doesn´t work, but I become lucid later.
Take something - and try to morph it into something else and maybe switch scenery with it ..

Actually - the morphing itself is already something, that I want to do - scenery or not.

Oh yeah - and going through a door and expect something behind it.
Not sure what - but - space sounds great - maybe look at Jupiter from one of it´s moons..? I love Jupiter and have a quite good inner picture from all the "space stuff" I watched and read.

Or - falling head first through a wall, or the floor - well - falling somewhere deeper - on the quest for more vividness.

Hi everyone!
I 'm passionate of the Roman Empire history and I want to walk through a Roman city, with their temples, their palaces...
I want to travel in the time!
Ready to go!

I absolutely agree with the 'wandering around' thing! It's so surprising, in a world where I can do anything I wish I often find myself wandering around because I'm suddenly out of ideas. I guess it's like a 'kid in a candy store' reaction. When it happens I usually end up talking to people or just floating around.
My next goal is to turn the scenery of my LD into cartoon. So far I've been able to change the color of sky to something cartoony and unrealistic, also change appearance of some smaller objects. When I tried to change a huge building I was standing in front of to a cartoon-style one, all the lights in windows started to blink but that was all.

I recently thought of all of these "out of this world" places but decided my next goal (if I don't land in a scene I already like) would be flying around and landing on the various landmarks of Yosemite National Park and soaking in the beauty.

BruceZ, the trick might be to incubate them into a non-lucid in which you become lucid through the extraordinary dream sign. I have had some special dreams with a deceased loved one, most of which turned lucid and have done things that felt meaningful to me at least. I recently brought the same loved one into my dreams two nights in a row through a pre-bed and WBTB mantra...but those two dreams remained non-lucid and I think the 2nd one was meant to be non-lucid (it kept me from flying off on a lucid adventure before another very special DC showed up).

One of my ultimate goals is to induce mass shared dreaming.

My goal is to be able to blood bend (From avatar the last air bender)

Heck these days my dream goal is just to get lucid in the first place! .
And TOTMs.
And full stabilize ritual.
Oh and group summon.
And fly.
So yeah some goals .

Hm - what I wrote above sounds good - and I didn´t try it out.
Next after the next LD I will go about that - or part of it.

But for really next time:

Lucidity
Stabilizing with engaging all senses - incl. eating something.
If if fades - also senses - but maybe do something "drastic" like transform into a blob, or undress and imagine wind (thanks to inspiration just before..).
And when all is good - TOTMs!
Flying in some way - at least hovering and making huge leaps - does come it seems with all - even the shortest LDs of mine - which is nice.
Just need mooore of them!

Do you plan on dream-dying as well - or "just" shooting a projectile into your dream-body?
Or even just pull the trigger?
I think, I read about people needing a bit of psychological override for the gun to go off..

Put a gun to my head, accept the end of my existence with no fear, believe that after death there is just simply nothing and pull the trigger -> see what happens (hopefully). Did anyone try something like this?

I think I'll try this in my next LD (most preferably tonight) out of curiosity. Everytime I die in a dream (no matter the cause, whether it's lucid or non-lucid, etc.) I wake up, but I wonder if this would be different if I had no fear and believed I wouldn't wake up. I'm mostly interested in what would happen in the afterlife if one believed that there was absolutely nothing after death; how would one's subconscious take that? Would you still have a body and just float around in blackness, or would there be no 'you' left? Would you still be able to perceive time, have thoughts and feelings, even have a conscience? What happens when you wake up? So many questions, guess I'll get them answered soon.

I really like 'experiments' in LDs like these, I spend a lot of my LDing days doing them whenever I have questions involving dreams and the subconscious.
