Well for starters, your poll is missing a lot of things. It says completecontrol over your dreams. That's completely different from having your first lucid dream. Also, most of the people on this forum don't have "complete" control. I had my first lucid dream (when actually trying to have one) in 10 days. Also, yes it is possible to increase the time you are in the dream. It might not be possible to actually increase the rem time but it may slow down "dream time" I heard that you should say something like "slow time" or "stop time" and imagine the clock slowing down. I tried it once I think and it did make my dream last longer but that might have just been a coicedence. Welcome to the board, SEE YA!
