Thanks, superchaz. Shared dreaming seems extremely challenging though, so we'll see if I can succeed in trying it before I move to my partner's country in a few years. =p

I agree with hermine_hesse, wanting to talk to your subconscious isn't strange or silly. In fact, that's one of the things I want to do too. I have no idea what I'd ask it, but I think it would be fascinating and enlightening to talk to have a discussion with that intangible but vital part of yourself. That's why I want to talk to my DCs too, because they too are part of my subconscious.

explore my imagination...by creating non-worldly places..=D

Yo, I agree with the talking to the subconscious mind for advice and getting rid of fears.

Now about that cookie.

To prevent myself from spamming this thread with cookies, here are cookies for you and everyone else who deserves one:

Spoiler for cookies for everyone:

Looooooooooool

I've always wanted to play the biggest rock show ever in a lucid dream, and have supermassive epic battles that destroy city's.

Play the guitar with B.B. King, Eric Clapton, or Buddy Guy. Maybe even Jimi Hendrix.

Mmm, I love cookies. Well, some of my little goals are listed in my signature. I have flown before but only in short bursts. You see, In this Lucid, I wanted to fly so I did a running start and flew about 20 meters into the air until I saw the powerlines. Needless to say, I dropped to the ground. Here's the funny part though, when I attempted to do it again I reached about 20 meters and saw ahead of me, dozens of recurring powerlines making it impossible for me to advance. It was then that I lost lucidity. Not good enough.

My Enya goal is my personal favorite. I don't know about any of you folks but I find some of her music quite haunting and I would love to simulate the experience of playing some alongside her.

For what it's worth, lucid dreaming itself is a "technique to interact with your subconscious mind." Remember that next time you're lucid and who knows? You might be swimming in interaction with your unconscious. In fact, one archetype thought to represent the unconscious is water, so it might not hurt to take a plunge into a deep-looking still pond sometime!

Hermine_Hesse's suggestion was an excellent one, though; so clean it has to work.

And now back to our show...

Bring a Lamborghini back to reality from the dream world.

Have you done it yet?

Nope.

Do you still wanna do it?

Nah. I've long since learned that there are much better things to bring back...

Have you moved onto something else?

Of course. Everyone should.

I wanted to do a lot of things and I haven't most of them yet. Here's my list (ones in red have been done):
-Fly around and kiss everyone I meet. I love to kiss :x
-Fly around to see the mountains up north, waterfalls down south, oceans in the east, and lilies in the west.
-Go forward in time.
-Go back in time to the dino age.
-See past lives.
-Fly around and see a couple people on the other side of the world.
-Make love.
-Paint a sunset near a beach.
-Build a spherical room, fill it with sparkling colour all over the "walls" and listen to music as I roll around it laying down.
-Feel what it would be like to fall in love with myself from another person's perspective.
-Make my own Earth.

Usually I just fly around my city or check up on the geese near my house :3

I have only had two LD experiences, and they were short and difficult to control. When I finally am able to LD on a regular basis, I think what I most want to do is explore far off places. Visit Medieval Europe, or the Middle East, or hike through the rainforest. Maybe even find alien worlds. Some of my favorite dreams have taken place in the forest in secret places along streams and waterfalls... I would like to be able to visit those places on command. I would also like to interact with DCs and be able to summon them to dreams. I have met DCs in dreams before that I would have liked to see again! I think it would also be cool to experience dream sharing.

I once had a dream where there were two characters. One was a girl of no defined religion, and the other was a muslim guy. They both went to the same college. Throughout the dream, I shifted between being the guy and the girl, and I experienced them falling in love with each other and dealing with the difficulties of their families and religious beliefs. In the end, the girl converted to Islam so his family would accept her. It's not exactly feeling what it's like to fall in love with myself, but I did see both sides of falling in love.

I want to have a conversation with my sheep

I really just wanted to know if I had any past lives.

I haven't been able to do this...YET.

THAT is pretty cool :O well done! I want to try something like that now :3

When I was younger in my LD's I was always trying to conjour having a sex scene, or to visualize having sex with women. I guess this was my carnal side showing as well as my immaturity. However I did like the lucid adventure whatever the outcome.
Now I am more interested in the spiritual, creative, healing aspects, rather than the violence / fantasy as there is alot of potential.

I did punch a DC smack in the face for no reason in an LD one time years ago. (The DC was a 'representation' of someone that I wasn't keen on in real life.) However I would feel guilty about doing such a violent action like that now, as I would try and resolve the issue peacefully, or find the meaning of the conflict as you would try to do in real life.

I am just starting lucid dreaming, or starting to try. I really want to swim. Flying doesn't sound too amazing, but hang-gliding is also something i want to do.
Mainly though I want to explore and wander around.

Who doesn't enjoy bending the rules of reality a bit?

All I got out of it was less than what I brought in though, so I've sort of begun to relapse into non-lucid, situational iteration.

Experience the big bang happen in all it's glory, you know, getting tossed back a bit when the universe grows by me

Be Dexter Morgan lmao

I want power. I want to be the most powerful thing in the universe. I want the laws of physics to bend at my will. I want power

I will use my power to create world peace. By blowing the world up

What I really want to do lately is be a girl. I think it would be awesome to experience the world (or a world of my own imagination) as a female

all jokes aside that's a pretty good idea. Just for the different perspective.
Maybe even being a bird or fish for the day, or a really small person or being invisible.

Mainly I think I wanted to fly, which I acheived quickly and have always been able to manage since. But I also wanted to be able to have lucids that lasted ages, like half an hour at least. Unfortunately that's still something I struggle with, and even after all this time I still can't stay lucid for longer than a couple of minutes.

So I would say that's still a priority for me, definitely.
