Thread: Forgetting Goals Strictly Within LD's?

Is it common to forget your intentions in a LD?

I had a huge list of goals for my first LD. All I tried to do was fly. It was impulsive, and not an actual thought out process. Maybe you need to think about your goals more.

YES! This is so true for me...

I tend to remember the TOTM, and maybe a few other things, but that's it...I've wanted to do other things before, but they haven't been as important as ^. I still have to do them, I've had the same goals for about a month, and haven't done any of them. I get lucid a few times a week so...

I think its pretty common, from the DJs I have been reading.

Yup, pretty common occurrence, it would seem. I would recommend picking a goal or two for the night, then trying your best to commit them to memory in any way you find to be effective.

Yeah, just last night I finally had my first lucid since coming here... and instead of completing the TOTM, I went and kicked a DC's ass (in my defense, he tried to kill me)!

I think that, for me, I only remember the goals that are really important to me in my lucids, so I suggest really thinking about them and all that kinda thing.
