I noticed a ton of my lucid dream I don't "think" very much about anything. Normally there is a list of a few things I want to try and then once inside of a dream a random thing will pop into my head from the list and I will do it. Some times I will see something and it will remind me of something on the list then I will do it.

Its not normally that bad untill I want to try something new, because if I don't really focus before going to sleep I will try an old item on the list which I have done in dreams before. It seems like the more I have done something, the more likely I will just start trying it again.

I think part of the problem might be because all my lucid dreams are really short, most under 2 minutes. So I have to act fast or I wont be able to try anything. So I might start rushing then miss what I wanted to try even though I don't really want to. I think some of the time it kills my dream too.
