Lucid dreaming is becoming ever more popular, especially with the interest in the new film, “The Good Night,” with Penelope Cruz and Gwyneth Paltrow. Cheating on your girlfriend (like in the movie) is not the only thing to do in a lucid dream. Not by a long shot.

Here are a few more things you may be able to do in your lucid dreams, grouped by degree of difficulty. It’s normal if you find some of these especially hard or easy compared with other lucid dreamers. Everyone is different, so don’t worry about it. Try some experiences from the Easy list first, but don’t feel that you have to limit yourself.

Easy

Fly – This is one of the easiest, as flying comes naturally to many people in dreams. Experiment with different styles. There’s the airplane style, with both arms outstretched. There’s the Superman style, with one arm out and one arm back. You might even like to swim through the air using the breaststroke or dog paddle. Have fun!

Explore – But try not to get too distracted with what you find. Otherwise you’ll forget that you’re dreaming. Frequent reality checks will help. Remind yourself frequently that you’re dreaming, or ask one of your dream companions to keep reminding you.

Walk through solid objects – You’ll be able to do this if you believe that you can. You can try going through things slowly and deliberately. Or you can run right at a wall knowing that you’ll pass through to another scene entirely. Mirrors are another favorite. Think of “Alice Through the Looking Glass.”

Paint the sky – See if you can conjure up an amazing sunset. You can even create an aurora borealis, particularly if you’ve actually experienced it in real life.

Moderately Difficult

Eat as much as you want – Like exploring, it’s easy to get distracted. Remind yourself that you’re dreaming.

Meet interesting people – Create the character of someone you’ve always wanted to meet, like Einstein or Mark Twain. Just arrange a meeting and have them show up. Your imagination will take over from that point.

Search for your spirit guide – Imagine yourself on a vision quest. Ask for your spirit guide to appear. It will often take the form of an animal. Once you’ve met your spirit guide, you will be able to find it again easily.

Very Difficult

Have sex – This is certainly a popular goal for lucid dreamers, but it’s a tricky one. The excitement is likely to wake you. Try not to get too carried away, and remember that you’re dreaming.

Get creative – Some folks find that they can write poetry or music while lucid dreaming. Or you can try requesting a poem or song from your subconcious. In that case, it may appear after you’re awake.

Die – You can dream your own death, if that appeals to you. This isn’t harmful. You’re just dreaming so you won’t really die. You may experience whatever you believe lies beyond death.

This gives you some ideas for things to do in a lucid dream. Enjoy yourself!
