I Have Full Control But...

Last night, during my first Lucid, pretty much everything I wanted happened. I could change places easily by simply losing focus and imagining a new place and then looking again. Anything I wanted somebody to do happened.

While I seem to have full control, I can't seem to control what I want. Like sitting here right now I can imagine tons of things I would like to do, and things I would have changed in my last lucid. However, in the dream I can't think of anything to do.

Why is this? Before last night there were so many things I wanted to do... fly, jump off a cliff, stab somebody in particular... and tons of things. But I just... couldn't think of them. Why is that? :blue:

Billybob said it best, that if you think of so many things to do before getting lucid then you wont remember anything and you wont do much in your lucid. Just try to refirm one thing into your mind.

That sounds like good advice. I also would assume though that part of the reason you were unable to think of what to do is that in general, when you are excited, and really want to do something, you can never remember what it is you wanted to do until the excitement drops. I think grounding yourself in your Lucid dream, and getting it more stable would help a lot, as it would remove the the ecstacy and excitement, and get you thinking logically.

That sounds right.

I agree with Penguinlord and Megabenman (or actually BillyBob...). Stick to one or maybe a handful of things you'd like to try. What I always used to do (and am going to do again) is set goals for a month. among others, these goals would some things I wanted to accomplish within my next lucid dreams. I'd write down about 5 things at most. You might find it helpful to write down one or more things on a piece of paper and go through that last before going to bed.
Also, as Penguinlord said, don't let exhileration(sp) take over when you become lucid. Calm down, stabilize your dream, take a look around and then think of what you would like to do.

Good luck. :goodjob2:

I have had the same problem in my past lucid dreams. Maybe it's just new to us?
