Even when I realize I am dreaming, I can rarely think of anything cool to do in the dream. The other day I couldn’t dial my phone and realized I was dreaming, so all I did was try to wake up. Argh! What do y’all do in lucid dreams? Fly? Meet fictional characters? Or whatever random thing you can think of?
Maybe you read flash fiction. It’s never the same when you read it twice:

I’m a huge fan of lucid dreaming, I try to do it as often as I can – I find the best way to take control is that, once I realise I’m dreaming I try to look at my hands. Stare at them for a bit, and try to remember I’m dreaming.
Although, I did once dream that I strangled someone – it was so real, I felt it. I then had to run from the cops, and stay in hiding. I LIVED every single minute of my life, running from the man. I LIVED that life, like ten years. It honestly felt like every single minute of those years was REAL. Terrifying.
How awful. Of course, my writer mind automatically wonders if you actually entered the mind of a murderer for a decade and now you are the only person on earth who can catch him – but you’ve spent so much time in his mind, you’re not sure you want to.
I dreamed War of the Worlds the other night (not the first time) and I killed a rather human-looking alien by slashing him with a flimsy metal rod thing. I don’t think I was actually myself, but I did look away whilst slashing him. It was one of those dreams with a constant sense of impending doom. Wish I could’ve realized I was dreaming that one.

Whenever i lucid dream, i always go for flying. For me, that’s the coolest sensation that can not be replicated in real life.
Amen! Definitely.
