Yes, my immediate goal is to go to the Dream Base, and try to find the library for the Task of the Year. After that I hope to find/build persistent realms, and maybe find a dream guide.

I have had some success with lucid dreaming in the past, but have been out of practice for a few months. It usually takes me a bit of time to get back into it, but it does seem like I get these almost-lucids when I'm on track.
