Thread: How would I?

Note: I have not yet had a Lucid Dream, but I already have a plan for what I'm going to do in a Lucid dream. Below is that plan:
My plan is to get my friends together while Lucid and jump in an awesome car loaded with duffel bags that are loaded with guns. We disable the cameras and phone lines and walk in there and tell them that we're gonna rob the bank. If anyone stands in resistance, well you can guess. After robbing it we get in a new car and have a wild police chase down a highway that involves shooting. I'm kinda of a adrenaline junkie so I think that would be fun. My other plan was to have a snowball fight and then fly around, then summon a spirit guide and figure out what my subconscious is thinking. So yeah, I know to take it easy when I first become lucid, but is there anything special I need to do for that to happen. I've always guessed it's like snapping your fingers, but I've never done it so how should I know. Thanks!

Sounds like fun!

It really just depends on your level of dream control and how active your imagination is. Here are some great tips for dream control: Dream Control Tutorial

Also, whoever said that you need to take it easy during your first lucid is just setting people up to fail. It is possible to do just as much in your first lucid as it is in any other one. Needless to say, you won't have much experience, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to have good control.

I have a overactive imagination

The only reason people say to take it easy in your first lucid is to keep yourself from getting over excited and waking yourself up. If you can remember not to get to excited then you can still do anything you want. Robbing a bank in a dream sounds like an awsome idea cuz then you could see what its like without having to deal with the consiquences. lol

I'll remember just to breathe in and out and then anchor myself in the dream

Good idea. Hopefully I will remember to do that.

Basically, expectance and assertion really help when trying to control a dream. Expecting something to work, and mentally asserting that something will work are often two very good tools for getting what you want to happen in a dream. For instance, walk out your door, and expect that there will be a car there. If you fail, and don't believe hard enough (lol) then assert to yourself that a car loaded with duffel bags will get in and take you where you want to go. Take it from there.

Also, I was confused for a second, because you have the same avatar as an old member who was on here.

Very cool idea! It'll take some good dream recall (as some of the other members have said).

Just don't even think twice about it. Just KNOW there will be guns in your car. Simple as that. Even though I've only had two lucids where I acually did stuff and it didn't end in two seconds, I had full control in them. It's pretty sick
