Thread: What Should I first do when I'm able to LD clearly?

I've been having trouble keeping to trying to LD, and 'm thinking it's because I don't have a goal or anything to look forward to for my first 'good' LD. I need an idea of something that will get me so excited for LDing that I won't give up after a week like I usually do.

having like a bunch of thugs attacking you, and you using your skills to demolish them. use a light saber and hack stuff. *ahem* sex *ahem*. flying at high speed and feeling the wind and adrenaline rush. ride a motorcycle. have your subconscious think up an adventure while you just go with the flow. hope i helped ^_^

I've heard people say they did things like that before but sex and action in my dreams have never really interested me, as odd as that may sound. I feel like I want to do something deeper and more meaningful than that, but I'm not sure what that thing is. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Welcome back I think really motivation is one of the most important parts of learning to LD. You really need to want to LD enough that you don't just have a short term goal to do, you really want to keep working on this for a long time. Lucid Dreaming isn't something you can just think about for a month or two and have them for the rest of your life - continuing to LD will take continued effort and you're going to have to be willing to put that effort in

That said, there are lots of threads around the forum for ideas on what to do within a lucid dream. One of the most popular is 1000 Things to do in a lucid dream which has waay over 1000 things

If you're looking for deeper more meaningful thigns to do, then looking for a 'dreamguide' or some form of communication with your subconscious might be something you'd look at trying for in the long term, or practicing meditation within the dream state

Good luck with your LDing!

Here are some great ideas from world-of-lucid-dreaming.com. If you interested in self-exploration, I can recommend book Lucid dreaming - The gateway to the inner self by Robert Waggoner.

You say these request when lucid, and also you can say them as affirmations when going to sleep.
