How active is your role in a lucid dream?
Just wondering, how involved do you like to be in a lucid dream? Do you quickly assert control over the situation, or just let the dream run it's course, making use of the heightened awareness and self-control? Or do you do a bit of both?
My preferences have changed on this. When I started LDing, it was such a novelty that I made use of every facet of my powers (and that's a lot if your omnipotent). Generally, that meant summoning fancy things, toying with physics and causing immense distress to my dream characters. Then, as I got used to asserting control, I found i just as enjoyable to take a slighty more passive stance and admire the plot or more often poke fun at the immense perculiarity of it.
Now that I have finished actively pursuing lucidity LDs are once again a novelty and thus my dreams happen to be short and my persona very desctructive e.g. in an LD this morning, this involved walking over people, flying, and stealing their food and throwing it in a restaurant
.
Anyway I await your responses with interest.

I chose the first option due to the dire state of my lucidity recently, but I have fond memories of "going with the flow" (i.e. not mention my lucidity and don't draw attention to it) and quietly humouring the plot, especially when something impossible happens like a man gets a Volvo engine out of his pocket (don't ask) and I give a sarky comment and the dream characters get all confused.

I've had lucid dreams, but I never knew what they were before or how to control them, so I always went with the flow. I'm gonna have to start experimenting more. I think I'd like to make little changes at first and get my feet wet before taking things in a whole new direction.

In the very few LDs I have had, I have just gone with the dream's plot. Perhaps this is just because I was at a low level of lucidity, but I would really like to influence the dream to quite an extent when I get the chance.

Well, in all honesty, whenever I do become lucid, nothing's really happening, so I'm not really changing the dream persay. There was one where I saw Aslan (from "The Chronicles of Narnia") and i was so happy to see him that even though I was lucid I had no desire to change a thing... I wish that dream had gone on longer.
I haven't had enough lucids to really do anything. They don't last long, either.

Well I'm new so right now I just go around the dream world practicing dream control techniques, reality checks and the like. I guess that would go under "Go with the flow."
