How to keep lucidity

I just had my second lucid dream since joining this website and I have noticed that I have a problem. When I become lucid I will stabilize the dream and everything will be very clear and I will be highly aware. But I can never remember to do things like the task of the month/year or any of my dream goals. I always spend time waiting, thinking of what to do and then my lucidity fades and I end up just interacting with whats in front of me. I have a feeling this will get better with the more lucids I have but I don't know.

thanks:D

Maybe try improving your prospective memory? This is where your intentions are stored. Stephen LaBerge developed an exercise for this so that you can work on it while awake. For a week (or more if you want to) at the beginning of each day, you think of a few things you're likely to encounter several times during that day. You set the intention to recognize these things whenever you encounter them. Whenever you encounter such thing, you perform a reality check. I think this will make it easier for you to remember your intentions.

And perhaps you don't focus enough on setting your intentions. Have you tried visualizing yourself carrying out your intentions in your lucid dreams? One time I wanted to materialize a door in my lucid dream and open it to see what would be behind it. I visualized myself opening the door and ending up in different worlds. When I had a lucid dream that night, I immediately remembered my intention and tried to carry it out. Too bad I woke up before it though. :(

hey thanks for the reply. I do imagine my dreamgoals before hand but that doesn't do much for me. But thanks a lot I will need to try the perspective memory stuff

try my tutorial below.
Also, you could write a note with all the dreaming tasks you want to complete and keep it in your pocket. When you are in the LD, pull out the note ,and you will be reminded of the tasks.
