So I've only been trying to train myself to lucid dream for a few weeks. I'm reading LaBerge's book and it's been super helpful. I've gotten really good at dream recall and practicing state testing.

My problem is that I have trouble actually taking control of my dreams. I will sometimes be faintly aware that I'm dreaming because of weirdness in the environment but can't seem to kick my mind out of passivity and into action! It's like my "dream self" is perfectly content to let the dream take its own course. I'm not sure how to get past this roadblock...

Any advice would be great! Thanks!
