You're welcome Jack I'm sure you'll have another one soon. I usually only have one or two goals at any given time. The reason is that when in a LD your brain is not functioning at 100% capacity and your access to waking memories can be impaired. If you have a big long list of goals chances are you'll stand there in your dream unable to remember any of them! It's better to have one or two only that you remind yourself of regularly during waking hours (when you RC is the perfect time to do this).

Anyway, yes I do have a couple of good goals I'd recommend.

1) "Put my arm through a wall"
Any solid object will do but I find it is good to be clear, simple, and specific when setting lucid goals. This is a great goal because it will start training you how to break the laws of physics with your mind. Just remember, when you are dreaming you can put your arm through a wall. You may find it happens easily but if you find your arm doesn't go through, keep trying and really believe it will go through.

2) "Float off the ground"
Make this your second goal because you will probably start to fly around after doing this and it's quite common once you start flying in a LD to do nothing else until you wake up (not always the case but it does happen)

3) "Find a mirror and look carefully at my reflection"
Mirrors behave strangely in dreams for most people so you should enjoy this. It also gives you some practise at finding a specific object at will.

4) "Find a mirror and put my hand into it"
There is an unusual sensory experience that seems to occur for a lot of people when they touch a mirror in a dream. I won't say what it is as that will give you an expectation and expectations are extremely influential in dreams!

I'd suggest you choose only one or two of these goals and once you have achieved them move on to the others.

(don't forget to rub your hands together first and look around your dreamscape to stablilise your dream and enhance your lucidity)
