Lucid Dreaming is a good Tool, a good Road, but it isn't the Goal or the End to which your destiny intends. What you need to do is mobilize your Higher Mind's interest in your Dreaming. Set yourself some spiritual goals.
Now, at first, your spiritual goals do not have to be so entirely ethereal. Character, too, is spiritual. Your Personality is your Spiritual Expression. Is there anything you need to work on? Well, then, present a List of things to your Higher Mind -- go over the list in the morning, and then at night.
There is an odd technique which I just threw out there a while back and somebody picked it up and has reported some very significant increases in their targeted dream activities -- it is to smack your left wrist a few times very hard in the morning if you feel that the Higher Mind that sent you your dreams has seemed to have shortchanged you, or if you did not have good dream recall, or if you did not go Lucid -- the point is that if things do not go well, then there is going be some Pain. Now, you don't need to bruise yourself, but you need to inflict enough discomfort so that one can honestly wince a little bit when contemplating its immanent infliction.
But there are other Spiritual Goals that everybody has to eventually check off the list. I think everybody has to Fly. Walking in Dreams is for the Un-Initiated. Why walk when you can Fly. Now, remember, flying from the Lotus Position is infinitely more effective than flying on one's belly like Superman -- like one is from a Comic Book. The Model for Good Flight is the Magic Carpet Style.
Another essential in Dreaming -- if you are still pursued by frightful monsters and threatening figures, then you have not been killed yet. Every Dreamer has to Die at least once in order to get it over with. Once you get killed by whatever is your Enemy, you will find that you rise back up quickly enough. No one is ever dead for longer than 20 seconds. And keep in mind that you shouldn't wake up after you get killed. So many people waste their death by assuming the dream is over when they are killed and so they wake up. Stay down!... that is, until you can get up. Remember, you want to die, so that you can prove to your Dream Self that there is no Death in dreams. Indeed, that is the most useful aspect of Lucid Dreaming -- that by knowing one is Dreaming, that absolute Bravery is possible and one need Fear nothing. Perhaps this is where the Vampire Legend originally arose, from Dreamers who conquered Death by dying.
