Thread: Some cool ideas for lucid activities

My main goal currently is to conduct an orchestra or do stand-up comedy. If I am confident in my dream that my symphony or jokes will be the best ever, will my subconscious fill in the blanks and actually write the best jokes or symphony ever, or will it fail? Has anybody tried either of these?

This can happen in normal dreams, and i can testify to its effects. In your dream you will probably get the gaps filled in by your subconscious, and most likely you will believe that is the most incredible thing ever while you are dreaming, however, once you wake up: you will either not remember the actual jokes/song but you will remember it is incredibly good, or if you are lucky you will remember the jokes/song when you wake up but when you repeat them to yourself you will realize they probably suck in real life. In summary, your subconscious is not nearly as good as your conscience at doing cognitive activities, however it is much more connected with your senses, in a way so that even if the simphony was a garbled piece of crap, it would appear to your subconscious mind as the most incredible simphony ever written because that's what it was aiming to achieve, the feeling of writing the greatest simphony ever.

Ok... You were crazy!!! You're lucky not to have lost your hand!

haha yeah, but i believe there's a comic strip that explains this very well: http://xkcd.com/c242.html

I have conducted orchestras in my LDs before... one of my favorite activities. My brain came up with some pretty amazing stuff.

1. Enter into fictional universes (i.e. Narnia, Dune, Wheel of Time, StarWars, etc)
2. Learn from a master of a spacific field
3. Live out a normal day with nigh-omnipotent powers
4. Go on a date

Mostly pilosophical things, and some other fun things thrown in:

• Learn about myself from DCs
• Learn about LDing from DCs
• Find my bodies control room, or find the control room to my subconscious.
• Meditate
• Write down a request for more lucid dreams on a piece of paper and put it in a bottle and throw it into the ocean.
• Make out w/ my crush at the beach at night (I know I'm a hopeless romantic)
• Ask DC's where my dream guardian is.
• Ask DCs who is in charge of my dreams.
• Ask DC's what my life's purpose is.
• Ask DCs what the purpose of life in general is.
• Alright now for the fun stuff. Get into a huge gunfight in the middle of a city, bring my favorite guns.
• Get DRUNK, not just drunk, but DRUNK.
• Detonate an atomic bomb.
• Get into a Matrix style fight, including slo-mo (Ive done it before but w/o the slo-mo)
• Drag race my dad's '76 Camaro across the Robert Moses State Bridge (the bridge to Jones Beach on LI)
• Visit the moon.
• Drive a tank through a building.
• Take control of a UFO (ive dreamt ive been abducted but now I want to control it)
• casually walk up a building wall
• smash a building into rubble by flying into it

and no Im not making a 9/11 reference. Im talking about flying like Neo from the Matrix and smacking into the side of a building, doesn't have to be a city building.

Go tenchu Z on their ass. Run around on rooftops and sneak up behind and slice them.
