Probably, I think you gotta clear doubt and be assertive. If your mind is in a state of doubt I'd imagine that could work against you greatly in your dream. |

I've never had a very hard time controlling my dreams due to not letting go of the action I'm attempting at. Is this the same for you? I'd imagine it comes down to this, even once I get lucid in my dreams, it really seems to come down to effort in order to increase the lucidity of the dream. |

In my opinion its all about actually believing that you can literally do anything in your dream. Just remember to rub your hands together and touch your surroundings. |
|
More often than not, continuous willpower actually holds me back. That is, if I am so intently focused on making something happen, the sheer willpower to make it happen will not actually do anything--it'll actually just probably not make that happen. It's most likely based on my mindset and negative expectation--overtime, I'll just get plain frustrated if it doesn't work. Eventually, the longer I spend focused on an action, the less likely it is to succeed. |

I think it isn't willpower, more like that in 'The Matrix'. Do not believe you can, but know you can. |

if there are some issues in your life or aims you need to achieve then they probably come to your mind.. through dream we became more closer to our goal.. so there is nothing to worry... |

Take what Forg said and go with it, I had a LD last night and I took that quote and knew that I could do all these crazy things and suddenly I wasn't having trouble doing stuff anymore (recent ld's I could barely do anything) |
|
Heh don't know if its the rules or what but I always fail to do things out of willpower unless the power is based off thoughts to begin with. Knowing that I can do something doesn't helps either, nor does paying/not paying attention to but eh, doesn't happens too often. |
|
Learn to have control over your thoughts while awake. |
|
Will, intent, belief and expectations are all important factors of manipulating the dream. |
|
In swordsmanship you can have great strength and fighting spirit, but that is not enough to prevail. The same is very much true in lucid dreams. Much of your success is about perceptions, beliefs, skill and practice that over time can change the way your brain is wired. |
|
I mostly do things by pretending to know, that I can do them, like I pretend to remember stuff being hidden behind something. |
