In my LDs, sometimes I can't think straight as I can when I'm awake
Like right now, I want to fly or explore the world
When I'm lucid dreaming, I would do something stupid like violate a person:oops: or interact with my dreams
any techniques or ways to become fully lucid?
If you do a reality check and find out that you're dreaming, just relax and start thing what you really want to do now that you're lucid. As for flying, what works for me is this, i would bend my legs and then jump, but and after i jump i would be in the air, i would raise my arms straight up and i would keep them up while i was flying. This has always worked for me, hopefully it'll work for you, this is the only way i know how to fly. Any ways, yeah its hard to think straight when you're in a lucid i guess you just have to have a good imagination and think about the things that you want to do while lucid. I keep forgetting to become lucid because i have a one track mind, i get to wrapped up in my dreams and i forget to do reality checks.
just stop what your doing and focus on it being a dream and try to remember what you want to do.
Just remember to take it slow at the start just dont go running off into the dream world.
Taking a minute to stabilize the dream, feeling and seeing and smelling and listening to it, while telling yourself, "I'm dreaming. This is a dream. I am in a dream. I'm in a lucid dream." Should help you get nice and lucid before rushing off and letting the dream take control of you. Try to do things like look down at your body while telling yourself it is a dream body, basically anything where your whole focus is on become more lucid.
It helps a lot to just take a second and look around, and try to impress upon yourself that you're dreaming and that nothing that you do will have any consequence. It takes some practice before you have the presence of mind to do this, but I've found that it helps me maintain lucidity.
After this point I like to speak to the dream universe in my Booming God Voice to tell them that their charade has failed, and that I have returned to punish them for their deceptions. That's a matter of personal preference though.
When you become lucid, stop and stabilize the dream first (as many have suggested) by looking around and noticing it and yourself, telling yourself it is a dream. Then think about what you wanted to do in your LD. Sometimes it is hard, but keep at it. When you think you know, ask yourself it this really was your goal. For example once in a LD I thought at first that my goal was to climb a tree, but with further thought I realized I wanted to do the task of the month!
lol, i also use a booming god voice in my lucid dreams. it didn't work the first time i tried, but now i do it all the time.Quote:

An invisible microphone has, at best, the capacity to be mildly annoying. A Booming God Voice echoes through the very souls of your DCs.Quote:

Nope..none. If you can think straight in an LD you will wake up already. You can use constant reminding during the day that you want to explore the world and you must be specific what you mean by explore the world..is it flying across skies or visiting distant lands. Just saying exploring the world as your intent isn't good enough. Then 'design' an RC dream sequence that will lead to your objective, it's basically dream rehearsal. I've had 5 LDs exactly the same with memory of what to do intact. Draw back of this method is focus you have to be really focused and familiar with your dream sequence so when your RC tells you you are dreaming..Boom! You'll know what to do.Quote:

Stabilize your dream for a minute. The dream will undoubtedly last longer, most likely you will have better clarity, and you will be able to remember it in greater detail.
