Awareness - 9 / 10
Control - 10 / 10
Well, the first thing I remember about this dream is that I was at my house and we had just got a pool table. I was shooting some pool all by myself and ended up getting a scratch (because I am just such a good pol player). Anyways, I went to retrieve the cue ball and then the alarm went off, waking me up. Since I was awoken fresh from the dream, I was able to remember it easily. I then went right back to sleep, telling myself that I would recognize when I was back in the dream. Sure enough, I ended up back in front of the pool table, holding the cue ball about to go reset it from the scratch. At this point I was like "Oh ya, I'm back in the dream!"
I then remembered how I had read a thread yesterday about verbal commands and how they can be very effective at perfect dream control. In the dream, my room was really messy, so I thought I would start simple and clean my room. I started off by saying "My room will now be clean", however, nothing happened. I thought maybe if I said it differently. I then tried this... "Stuff, (to all the stuff on the floor) ORGANIZE!" Then everything came to life and started putting itself away. It was amzing. I then went and talked to it as if I was a drill sergeant, honing in my skills. I said "Stuff, ATTEN - TION!" Then all my clothes and everything snapped to attention to hear the next order. I then said "Stuff, AT - EASE!" Everything then relaxed just as I had told it to do. I was dumbfounded at how well this was working. I then decided to go work on my dream goals and went to head outside. For some reason however I decided I needed my mp3 player, but I couldn't remember where I put it. I said "MP3 Player, Please report in." It then just came and kind of walked over and lept into my hand. Satisfied, I put it in my pocket and went outside. When I opened the door however, I must of been a little too anxious or something because a there was just a void outside, like my mind hand't generated it yet or something. I closed the door and returned to my room to stabalize the dream. As I was about to do so however, I woke up.
That was definitely a step in the right direction in terms of having my dreams go however I want. I am just elated right now at how well that worked and super excited for my next lucid!!!
