Post great ideas -not plebbit-tier generic garbage- you have acted out, or planned to, on lucid dreams...Be creative, unique, freaky and weird even! I find it fascinating and challenging to decide what to dream of, I want to try that Good Place joke of "eating the taste of color blue\ of childhood memories", Im also pondering whether to f*ck my country's top 5 female celebrities-thirst traps (I don't think they're hot, but I DO WANT, to cuck all men in my country -which I kinda hate-)

I didn't really pursue lucid dreaming much. I've only really managed to gain lucidity for small windows, not enough to really do much, before slipping back under.
I must admit it is funny to see yo u cry out about "no grayface reddit garbage" and immediately jump for le synesthesia paradox and le sex with women. Either you're a decent troll or an indecent hypocrite.

Lucid dreams are a fantasy world that I retreat into, as the fantasy world is far more interesting than the real world. In real life, I got the nickname Ladybug (which even my parents call me) as a child because I always painted ladybugs on my cheeks (and I still sometimes do). While I work multiple highly unusual jobs in real life, I am always Ladybug in real life. In my lucid dreams, however, I often take on wild alter-egos, including circus acrobat Butterfly (with butterflies painted on my cheeks), intergalactic bounty hunter Dragonfly (with dragonflies painted on my cheeks), Medieval witch Moth (with moths painted on my cheeks), prehistoric cave-woman Firefly (with fireflies painted on my cheeks), WWI fighter pilot Lovebug (with lovebugs painted on my cheeks), superhero Bumblebee (with bumblebees painted on my cheeks), supervillain Wasp (with wasps painted on my cheeks), vampire slayer Doodlebug (with doodlebugs painted on my cheeks), and over-the-top, guitar-smashing rock star Junebug (with junebugs painted on my cheeks).

When I am myself (Ladybug) in lucid dreams, I often fly with ladybug wings through incredibly surreal environments (although, more recently, my lucid dreams have become increasingly dark, violent, and sinister, and my non-lucid dreams have followed suit).

It goes without saying that all of these lucid dreaming personas are wildly fantastical ones that could never manifest in real life. My circus acrobat persona Butterfly is the only one that has any basis in reality, as I grew up in a family of traveling carnies. However, I could never be a circus acrobat in real life. As a result of an extremely overactive pituitary gland, I am incredibly tall (I'm 7'2''), I have an enormously stocky, broad-shouldered frame, I have M cup breasts, and I wear women's size 24 shoes. Nobody would even be willing to let me ATTEMPT acrobatics. However, I should say that, when I take on these personas in my dreams, I still have the same body that I do in real life - but the rules of real-world physics, obviously, don't apply in dreams.

I sometimes also take on these personas in non-lucid dreams, although not as frequently.

Does anyone else have any recurring personas that they take on in their lucid dreams? What about in non-lucid dreams?

Face tattoos or ass tattoos? I'm gonna give this a try next time I find myself in the dream time. Sounds like fun and as good as any other method that came out of The Monroe Institute.

What is the point of lucid dreaming though? I can make-believe just fine when I'm awake. I like dreaming precisely because my dumbass frontal cortex isn't trying to make sense of anything for once.

My dreams tend to be foretelling dreams and gives me wicked deja vu more often than not. 
My dreams usually show me odd situations, things I'm about to buy, people I might meet. The problem is there is no certainty as I tend to forget as I awaken. I only remember when I'm living the dream

Lucid dreaming can function as an escape pod of sorts when confronted with a nightmare.

Face paint, of course.  I grew up in a family of traveling carnies, although I was never an acrobat IRL.  As a child, my parents had me doing mime schtick on account of me not speaking.  They started calling me Ladybug because I always painted ladybugs on my cheeks, and I still sometimes do (although I am not really a full-time carnie anymore and I have no idea if my parents still are).

I am not nearly as familiar with the Monroe Institute as I am with the Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society and their experimental dream films, but now I am definitely intrigued.
What are the implications of a carnie lifestyle for a would be lucid dreamer?
Asking because of how the kids like to say that the kids like to say liminal these days and being an outlier always in between gigs seems to be what that business is all about.
Had a dream where, in the last episode, someone negligently pulled a rope out of the ground at a fun party gathering, flinging me a lethally-high way in the air and me falling to the ground.
Wasn't hurt or notably injured but famed television vet uh doctor proceeded to run concussion tests on me just to be sure, (except they were very dumb physical tests that IRL would have made it worse, like rapidly changing direction kind of like running between ropes on a boxing ring). Despite the disorientation inherent to dreaming, I didn't fail any. Shit doctor, huh.

I wonder if lucid dreaming could have allowed me to be even more aware of the ridiculousness and tell him to fuck off and have fun.
