Have you done it yet?
Do you still wanna do it?
Have you moved onto something else?
Because before I had an LD I wanted to do so many things like fly and such.
One time I had an LD and I didn't know what to do an ended up standing in the dream. So I just woke up.
The first goal at hand is to learn to actually stabilize a lucid dream. The original goal of getting lucid was, and still is, to do everything I'd like to do IRL but can't. Living in a perfect world is a simple example. Other simple ones are chilling out on a beach, flying and fighting while using elemental control and such.
yeah fighting is fun
I want to get to my subconscious. Maybe talk to him if he is a character; like a mirror where you see what yo want to see hidden in your subconscious. Anyways this goal is for when I master lucid dreaming.
For the next lucid dream I want to travel to a different planet.
My first conscious LD goal involved remote viewing with another dreamer. I got close, but gave up before succeeding.
My first lucid goal that I ever set and accomplished was meeting my favorite philosopher Nietzsche and talking to him. When I first set the goal, I imagined having an intense philosophical conversation with him in his Sils Maria house that maybe led to new insights. When I finally met him, it was pretty weird and not at all what I expected. He was wearing a track suit, living in a room behind a hidden door in a closet and just said weird, cryptic things. Despite this, it was certainly worth the effort to accomplish this, as I think it was great training on setting and accomplishing a goal and finding a specific DC in a dream. Also, the journey finding him was pretty interesting, too.
I think when setting a LD goal, its important to follow through even if you become disinterested in it, because its a great learning experience.
Currently, I would like to meet my Dream Guide while fully lucid. Also, flying to the moon or outer space seems fun.
Flying...
I have had 90 LDs, but I have succeeded in flying without immediate loss of dream only twice (once in DILD, once in DEILD). I don't try it every time though. When I fly, I can float in the air only about 2 m high.
I PASSIONATELY daydream about flying in a lucid dream above city and nature at night. I would love to fly and see the calm nature and shining lamps and my house and everything while flying very high and breathing the fresh night air and hearing the silence. Later the sun would start to rise and I would see the sunrays while everything below would still be in the earth shadow. Then the sunrays would start to light the edges of houses. I would land in late morning and wake up in my bed totally excited. This is my dream which I would love to make true (or dream actually).
As you can see, I am still very far from something as amazing as this.
Further great goals: exploring 4-dimensional world, shared dreaming (if possible).
Summary: My goals are very high, I am still at the beginning.
Fight fight fight! And have epic adventures. So far I like how everything is going and plan to continue doing the same, so much fun.
What's remote viewing?Quote:

Started off wanting to do this ^^, basically everything in it, but then I sort of grew out of it and I'm more aware of the different things you can do, instead of just "OOH, ACTION AND FIGHTING AND ROBOTS AND SHOOTING AND STUFF".
Remote viewing is seeing while not being physically there. Many times it involves seeing a object hidden from physical view. In this case, the other dreamer (in WR) pulled a tarot card from a deck and a group of us attempted to tell him what the card was. I was able to tell he hid the card in a book, but didn't stick with the task long enough to see what the card actually was.Quote:

Go to Woodstock. Haven't done that yet, but I've only had 3 lucid dreams.
I wanted to have sex and time travel to the late 60's early 70's. I've moved on from sex to drugs and improving certain skills. Time Traveling is still on my list.
I was simply amazed that I could decide what do in my dreams, didn't have anything specific in my mind. I was surprised that lucid dreaming isn't very popular, if I had only known this before. :(
The first thing I wanted to do after learning about it and hearing stories, was simply observe what was going on. I wanted to see just how real it felt in comparison to reality. Afterwards, I typically just do random things such as flying, parkour, and practicing different powers like TK or Phasing through solid objects.
The main thing I want to do now, is come to a full and complete realization that everything is generated by my mind, find a dream character and tell it what I know, and then try to have it show/tell me things that I may have forgotten, just to see if it can bring up lost memories and act as a bit of a "conduit" so to speak, a bridge between my conscious and subconscious.
I wanted to go Pandora :roll: it is yet to experience, but I'm still gonna do it :D
I'm in a long-distance relationship, so on average, I see my partner for two months each year. It's usually the most difficult once we are in our native countries again. That's the only time when I have dreams with me fiancee in them. I decided that lucid dreaming would provide an interesting way for me to see and interact with my fiancee. Learning about lucid dreaming could distract me from the initial melancholy I was experiencing after our separation as well.
Now that I've learned more about lucid dreaming and experienced one, I'm interested in learning a lot about myself and experimenting in my own world. The exhilaration I felt during my first very brief LD is reason enough to have another LD though.
After a lot of thought, I'm not sure if regularly recreating my significant other is a healthy way of dealing with the distance. If I can have more lucid dreams more regularly, I would like to experiment with shared dreaming, if my fiancee is up for it.
There are so many things to do while lucid dreaming. The first thing I want to do is just drive, really fast. I want to go into the video game "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" and drive in the blue and silver BMW. Than, I want to have sex with multiple beautiful, big breasted woman.
That shared dreaming, I think would be good for you and your girl. Definitely.
When I first started lucid dreaming, I was constantly thinking of new things I wanted to try out, most of which are impossible to do in real life. I've made quite a large list, including things like controlling the elements, meeting fictional characters, trying out my own summoning technique, and jumping off a skyscraper. I haven't yet done any of this, as I didn't have a lot of control in most of my lucid dreams so far.
However, before doing any of this, there's one thing I want to do first. There are a few things going on in my life, which I can't seem to do on my own. Therefore, I want to use lucid dreaming to ask my subconscious mind for advice. This may sound silly, but I believe it will be helpful in one way or another. And even if it doesn't help, it will at least be a fun experience trying to converse with my subconscious mind.
Speaking of which, I also want to use lucid dreaming to get rid of some fears I have. For example, I have acrophobia (fear of heights), which I think will prevent me from doing things I want to do in the future, like travelling by aeroplane. Since I don't want something like fear to determine what I do in my life, I'll find a way to get rid of it, probably through lucid dreaming.
If you've actually read all of this, you deserve a cookie.
This isn't silly at all. I think there are many people who use LD's to do this. I heard of one technique where (while in a LD) you get a bowl. Turn the bowl upside down, then ask your subconscious a question out loud. When you turn over the bowl, there should be an answer inside.Quote:

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. =pQuote:

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:Quote:

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.Quote:

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!Quote:

And now back to our show...
Bring a Lamborghini back to reality from the dream world.Quote:

Do you still wanna do it?
Of course. Everyone should.Quote:
Have you moved onto something else?
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.Quote:

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.
A long lucid is always a priority.
Eat McDonald's, go shopping at mall and troll around with DC
Sex, which is what I never accomplished in two years.
Two years.
Well, when I first started I wanted to do flying and TK too, but I'm pretty efficient at those now.
I wanted to fly into the sun, I ended up flying as far out of the expanding universe as possible, because while dreaming I was wondering what my mind would make of it. It was indescribable...
I've always wanted to fly out as far into space as I could and see what my mind made of it too :p
First thing I want to do is fly, or jump off a high place and glide :)
you cant achieve sex?Quote:

eventually, causes me to either lose lucidity or wake up,
sooo not worth it in my opinion, better to stick with flying :D
I wanted to meet my favorite singer... I still didn't do it :) I always forget it...
I would like to do something that is completely different from what we see in waking life. Like controlling myself from third person perspective, or being in two bodies at once and controlling both at the same time, or dreaming in 2D.
when i was young i was plaqued by nightmares. i wanted to make the demons and monsters go away. when i learned to control my dreams (and also be aware of the fact i was dreaming) i had no idea that it was lucid dreaming. but that was my first "goal". to make the monsters go away.
Well at first I had this one ultimate goal: to have a shared dream with someone.
I was just thinking to myself, "What an exhilarating experience that will be!"
It got me really motivated, too.
I haven't completed it yet, but I will someday.
And I'm still looking forward to it! :)
I do have other goals in mind, but this one is still at the top of my list. :cheeky:
Fuck hot chicks.
I really want to swim, now. Especially having already experienced flying. I've always loved water and being underwater. During the summer, I would put on my mask and look at the surface from underwater. Doing it in a dream must be even better, if not the same. Plus, I don't want to wait a month to swim, anyway.
I'd also like to meet my subconscious in some sort of forme I can interact with :)
Other things I'd like to do include using a portal gun, change the time of day, eat a strawberry or some other food, run, climb a tree, change formes and drink something.
I'm trying to take it slow for now, so my top priorities are (Besides the basics) eating, drinking and swimming. Perhaps even interacting with the (dream)world around me.
Yeah I just want to explore and see what amazing places/things my mind has come up with. :)
When I will first Lucid Dream, I will try to ride a sport bike and fly. Hopefully it will last long enough for me to do both :3
I want to try DMT (hallucinogen)
Go on a dream adventure, fly, be harry potter, everything...:lol:
I wanted to create and modify my own buildings, cityscapes, and dream environments at will. :)
Edited to add: Yes, I have done it a couple of times, but not with the degree of control or awareness that I really wanted. Yes, I want to do it again. :)
I've always wanted to get stoned with a talking dinosaur called seb
