    Breaking the dry spell

    So, I was in the large conservatory room of some house. It was nighttime, I believe.
    The conservatory had a single glass pane, which comprised the whole wall. It was more of a single huge window at one side of the house, actually.
    I was non-lucid at this point. I walked into a lounge area, right next to the glass wall.
    My older sister was sitting in a comfy looking chair. We spoke, but it obviously wasn't important because I don't remember what we said.

    I started play-fighting with her, but I suddenly became aware of the possibility that I was dreaming.
    Unsure, I stepped back and looked around the room. It was quite small now, and it had shelves along the walls, which were lined with sturdy mugs. I said something like:
    "Hang on, I think this is a dream" to my sister.
    I stretched out my arm, hand open, pointing at a mug. I willed it to fly into my hand, trying to exert a gravitational pull.

    Nothing.

    I tried again.

    Nothing.

    Then it clicked - I only needed to imagine the mug flying into my hand, and it would!
    So that's what I did. I pretended the mug was actually flying into my hand at that moment, and guess what?
    It whipped off the shelf and landed in my hand, in milliseconds.

    Unfortunately, my satisfaction was short-lived. As all the possibilities of what I could do hit me, the dream quickly degenerated into me walking around the house and deleting blocks, now in a game of Minecraft.

    A spark of lucidity flickered inside me:
    "Must try and get back to... before..."
    I thought, before that spark was snuffed out, and my feeble effort to gain control faded.

      That's cool that you did telekinesis! I can imagine the dream in my mind so vividly. It's interesting how using visualization in dreams is so powerful.

      Have you heard of Dream Incubation? It means mentally incubating a dream so you dream what you want. So, for example let's say you want to go to Hollow Earth. During the day, you close your eyes and meditate, and imagine what Hollow Earth looks like. Walk around in your meditation. Touch, smell, and eat things. As you go throughout the day, try to casually think about it in the back of your head. You could do something like write, "Hollow Earth" on your hand to make yourself do this.

      Because you use visualization to catalyze your telekinesis, this tells me you are good at visualization, so Dream Incubation is a technique that you can probably pick up pretty quickly.

      That's a great suggestion, I'll try that. When I'm lucid I love exploring and seeing how vivid things are. It's amazing how real things seem, and with a little focus, something becomes just perfectly clear.
      Now I'd better think about what place to "incubate"!
