In my second lucid dream, I just did something really bizarre and stupid because I knew it was a dream. After doing that however, I proceeded to attempt to fly (which unfortunately didn't really succeed). But I did try to fly because that's the #1 thing I wanted to do if I had a lucid dream. If you have a goal like that it might assist you in doing something meaningful once you become lucid.
