Robert Waggoner did a lucid dreaming talk in my area yesterday evening and something he said really jumped out at me.

Most of us use fixed intent when controlling our dreams. I want to fly a dragon, and so forth. He brought up that this was limiting in a way to what you already are, and suggested shifting more toward using open intent in your lucid dreams -- directing the dream in a more open ended way to go farther with it. Some examples he gave were asking the dream:

Show me unconditional love
Show me something important for me to see
Show me some art to paint

I'm always getting hung up on accomplishing a specific task I set out for myself, or meeting someone, or improving a skill. I want to try this out.

So what would you want to ask your dream?
