I don't plan them unless saying "i'm gonna fly" is a plan |
|
I ask this because before when i didn't make plans for when i became lucid i used to really enjoy my lucids, but now i make plans i stress over them because i am hoping i remember my goal, then i am changing it back and for etc. The last few lucids i have had have been very ordinary, i don't recall my goal and i ain't doing things that i would want to. (probably not fully lucid) I think the stress is also playing a big part in this. |

well i make several plans, but a lot of the times i'm lucid i dont even remember them, or i think my goal is something else-which isnt my real goal. i think goals are good, because a lot of the ones where i dont remember and attempt my goal, i dont do exciting stuff |

I've heard that if you don't set an intention before you enter your LD you might end up either wasting the dream figuring out what you want to do, or you'll have a greater risk of ending up in a non-lucid dream. |

I think it's always good to go into a lucid dream with some sort of plan of action. |

I usually plan also. Though, its usually the same stuff I plan whenever I want to become lucid, so if I'm lucid and I didn't plan them before I already know what I want to do. |

Don't get me wrong, I have a plan, but I don't plan it to the extreme, ie. "I'm in a desert and playing chess om a river with Pierce Brosnan." |

When I plan, I don't sleep. But I still try to plan, hence my loss of sleep. |

Yeh i find that as well. i find normally my first thoughts after becoming lucid are to find a form of transport, (flying or a vehicle) and one or two other things, because i have got into the habit of doing these things when lucid it becomes a habit. |
|
I have a list of things that I want to do, but there is usually something cool in the immediate dream that I want to play with so I tend to get sidetracked. |
|
If I make plans I tend to not even remember my dreams! I find it much easier and more effective to go with the flow of things. |

Well, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish in your lucid dreams. If you are trying to complete lucid goals or monthly tasks, then plan your lucid dreams. However, I remember Stephen LaBerge illustrating a study in EWLD that involved transcendental dreaming. Those who sought divine experiences were generally less likely to have them than those who just "let go" and allowed the experience to find them. Of course, whether these experiences were actually dinvine would be up for interpretation by the dreamer. I personally don't plan my lucid dreams, but I might start doing so for a change of pace. |

While sleeping, watch.
I plan my dreams. Perhaps it has something to do with my nature. Perhaps I want to see how lucid I really was. Whatever the case, it helps me improve, and adds clarity and purpose to my lucid dreams. |

I go back and forth between planning and not planning for my LDs. If I haven't been thinking about LDing through the day it can increase the number of LDs I have. However, if I have thought a lot about LDing during the day, I don't need to do it as a "lucid aid," but I still might do it if I have a specific goal in mind. I keep my plans/goals pretty general, so I will be able to do them no matter what dream I find myself in. |

I usually have some long term goals because if I become lucid and don't know what to do, it just fades and I wake up but often I just have these spur of the moment crazy impulses, like flying a bookstore |
