Thread: What is your end turn goals for lucid dreaming?

Fun idea!

Let your mind go blank. No thoughts, no emotions.
You will go to a place with no light whatsoever. Totally black. No vision. No hearing.
Just a very slight breeze on your face. You are aware that you are asleep. You are fully aware of your body, but you are not awake.
Very peacefull place to be, unless you are afraid of the dark.
Only managed this twice, but the experience is what you might call blissfull.

I've managed that state a couple times as well, it was really life changing for me. Just like you said, blissful, nothingness or emptiness. Kinda like a pure state.

My goal is to transcend suffering, and maintain longer periods of equanimity. So exploring my subconscious and interacting with my subconscious, and working on finding out the roots of my suffering, then dealing with it in an appropriate manner. I'm interested in pushing myself, I'd like to be able to master attaining lucid dreaming, or lucid state. I'd like to revisit the almost universal consciousness(it was more like a small group) experience I had awhile ago, aside from that IDK. Redefine my existence, not sure what that will mean, but I know what it doesn't mean.

My number 1 goal overall is to make my late night lucid dreams last and remain stable for around 45 minutes. But to answer about WHAT I would do in those 45 minutes is tricky because there are so many possibilities, the only limit is truly my imagination.
Perhaps after awhile I would attempt to become a god of my own little universe that I construct and maintain night after night. It would be difficult to remember most of the details obviously and I would have to accept that the universe would lack little details that ma have been there the nigth before but I'd try my best to keep it accurate (It would also be much smaller than a real universe for practicality xD). I may invent other rival Gods from time to time to battle and test my abilities against and ofcourse to reaffirm my position as the most powerful being in my universe xD.

Can i ask why stop at 45 minutes? It's pretty much possible to have lucid dreams that last much, much, much longer than that.

Well, to be honest, I've never heard of a dream lasting anywhere beyond 50 minutes. And as far as I know, even the longest REM cycles don't last more than 60 - 70 minutes. (This is ignoring any theories on time dilation)
If I am wrong however, I would glady push my 45 minute goal to over 1 hour xD

Any chance of expanding on your "group experience"

Might be a good idea for another thread on here.
