Hey guys, |

Good night, travel well.
Think about what you want to do in your lucid dream before you go to sleep. This will help keep your goal fresh in your mind by the time you become lucid. |

That's what I do every single night, then I wake up from a lucid dream and wonder what on earth was I thinking, just walking around in a dream. I'm wondering why this happens, sometimes I'm super sharp but sometimes I'm completely clueless and completely waste the opportunity to do something amazing. |

Good night, travel well.
This is happening because your intention to do what you want to do isn't strong enough. If simply setting an intention isn't enough, then you need to make the intention stronger by increasing and maintaining interest in doing what you want to do. Imagine a successful lucid dream and set an intention to replicate it against all odds. That way, when you are actually replicating it, you'll get a boost of confidence which will help push you forward. |

In addition to what dolphin said, don't dwell on past failures. I think what you described happens to all of us sometimes, but once we start treating it as a problem it can become one because of over stressing about it. |

I think a lot of it, too, is just a matter of time and experience. I also often had confidence issues in some of my early LDs, causing me not to do nearly as “risky” actions as I planned to do, but over time I began learning to trust the results of my RCs and fearlessly do whatever crazy thing I want in a LD. Also, lucidity level will vary from dream to dream; in some, I seem to make decisions in a very impulsive way, which is pretty much a total opposite to my approach in waking life, but with practice the number of higher-level LDs where you're more like your waking-life self should increase. |
