Thread: Do you have a nightly goal with what you are going to do when you get lucid.

I just remember that Stephen Laberge was talking about that it was pretty important to have some simple goal or vision about what you are going to do when you are going to get lucid. For exampel that you are going to fly when you get lucid.

This is just my speculation in why the nightly goal can be of importance.

I think that the subconscious need to have some valid and important reason to even listen or bother to what you want to happen when your awareness is not in place. For example: You go to bed and you know that you just have to get up in a certain time, because it's very important. It really matter for you. What happens is that you wake up just before the time you have set your alarm on.

By this example I just mean, why would your subconscious get you lucid without a single reason at all? just for fun? Then what is fun your subconscious might try to ask itself? Maybe you get lucid sometimes if the feeling of just getting lucid is very strong. But often when you have this really strong feeling about that you just need to get lucid and it works, you might also have a good enough reason behind that strong feeling, just because the feeling is getting strong.

Maybe one could motivate the subconscious with something like "I cant fly in the awaken world, so I really need to fly tonight when im in my dream, I AM going to fly in my dream tonight. I just know that I will fly when I get lucid tonight".

So do you just try to ask your subcounscious about permission to get lucid, or do you give it a really important reason to demand it to get you lucid?
