DODGY BUT COOL LOOKING THEORY TIME!
NB: My ideas. Not always right but still an intresting read (sometimes).
There are no laws to dreaming. Ever. The only thing that is "law", if you like to call it that, is your brain.
I think that as you get confident you can do something, you can do it. It's like with walking, you are so confident you can do it you can. It's the same with killing off Dream Characters, perhaps, after a while you get confident you can do it so you just do it. What you may of experienced was a tiny fluke: he just didn't go.
You then lost confidence- "why didn't it happen?" "have i lost control?" were the thoughts probably flowing throw your mind at the time. When you tried again; it obviously failed again, because you lost confidence. Each time you tried it simply got worse and worse until the point you really believed you just couldn't do it, he was not going to go away. This made you lost some/all lucidity and led to the "posession" by the powerpuff girls.
The "unloading" comments could be the 'rationalization' your consciouness/subconscioussness has attritbuted to the sudden disappearance of objects. Perhaps watching "The Matrix" or some other similar film may have made this thought 'stick'. Maybe your subconscious likes to think that you're in a computer program. It dosen't make this obvious, but casual references to the "unloading/loading" could be that subconscious 'rationalization' being shown.
(springing off into a tanagent about rationalization)
I'm sure that "brains" (heh, referring to them as if they're enteriely different lifeform to us), like to make some reason up, however how silly it seems, for things happening. It's just normal behaviour. Like when you see something, turn round to look at it and it's not there. Your inital thought is "weird", but then your 'rationalization mode' kicks in and you think "well, it's obviously because I just saw a bird flick past perhaps, or a ball...or maybe my eye has a small problem". You quickly convince yourself.
Another example is say, why the cost of a ticket price has just gone up. You think "well, it's been at the same price all the time. why the hell has it just risen?". You then reason: "well, i did hear ratings dropped...perhaps they've started to include the VAT? yes, yes, that sounds right." And you think no more of it.
It always happens. You are constantly reasoning for why things happen. Let's say an elephant flies past in dream. "Why did that happen? Maybe there's an updraft? It's because of a hurriacane". That, to your brain, which is running the dream on "autopilot", seems perfectly correct. The fact there is no hurricane does not faze it, and perhaps if it does one obligingly appears in your dream.
That's why you lucid dream, you make the "click" where your conscioussness kicks in and thinks "hang on. a hurricane? a flying elephant? no chance - i must be dreaming!". If you didn't, your "autopilot" would just go with some half-baked 'rational' reason.
