I think jay dawg is talking about the vivid part of the dream instead of the controlling of the dream world.

Recently I have developed a new method to have total control of my dreams, probally when you imagine what woud you like to do in a lucid dream, like flying for example you think there is a posibillity you might fall.

Well, as i go to sleep i remember there is no chance i fall from my flight, this is my world, my dreams depend on me, and not me on them, i am the lord of this world, the rules are mine, nothin can go wrong. And try remembering that feeling about falling as you repeat this things to you, and create for your subconscious like a feeling of control, power, and confidence.

This method works perfectly for me, never had problems with controlling again.

I also remember the lucid dreaming sensation as i go to sleep remembering that it is so easy because i just have to know how is the dream sensation an remember that dreams have incoherent thing.
