I came across a 2015 post by Sensei about active versus passive control: https://www.dreamviews.com/dream-con...esson-1-a.html In there, he makes an analogy about walking to the fridge and how that is a simple learned behavior for us, but challenging to his son who was taking his first steps. In a similar way, confidence and skill to achieve lucid dreaming goals can be attained. Memory control is a similar idea, but has an obvious flaw: when one is doing something new there is no memory to pull on. Sensei suggests (if I am understanding correctly) to essentially pretend there is a memory of yourself achieving whatever goal that is. My idea to execute on that is to visualize myself practicing something like Firebending from Avatar: The Last Airbender while meditating normally. This can then serve as the memory needed to achieve actual dream control in a lucid dream. Thanks Sensei!

Earthbending Teeth Toph and Iroh from Avatar the Last Airbender are fighting. Toph is on the offensive and Iroh is evading everything. Toph realizes that teeth would fall under her earthbending's jurisdiction, so she starts to bend Iroh's teeth. Toph wreaks havoc on Iroh's mouth. Wall Kicks Will Work There is a shrine in a gloomy place. It is similar to the area after falling down the tree in Zelda: Majora's Mask. The shrine represents a somber memory. I can recall dream-me thinking about how I had created it in other places before and that others wouldn't recognize it. Personal memory, but I don't know what it means. It was some arrangement of a small tree and a big pink flower. There is a dead end after the shrine, with a large closed door. The door is also in the Zelda style (where pressing 'A' would typically raise the door up and away so the player can enter). 'A' isn't working. I think to try wall-kicks from Mario 64. It works. I go higher and higher up and away. I land on platform jutting off of the wall opposite the shrine and find a locked door. Luckily I have one key left. I press 'A' to open the door, and it rises to let me enter as expected. Inside, there is an expanse of blue beams sprawling out into the darkness. There are skultulas (spider monsters from the Zelda series) dotted throughout the room's ceiling. The monsters are on webs at different heights. I explore a little bit, but then I'm ambushed. A large skultula, the boss, attacks. I dispatch it with ease using a bow and arrow and start looking for my prize. Down a ladder there is a landing. Still in the rafters above, not down on the floor below where the shrine is. I find a sarcophagus. The lid on it is very heavy but I remove it. There is a mummy inside. This is apparently my prize. I start thinking through the logistics of having a mummy in the house. And how creepy that would be...what if it wakes up and wanders the house at night? Art made by Nightcafe AI.

October 19, 2005 I dreamed that I was the new Avatar (The Last Airbender). I was showing off to all of my friends that I could levitate on a ball of air. The technique to it was to jump up in the air and cross your legs and the ball of air would support me. I floated around the rocky ground. Then one of my DCs said they could do it too. He tried but failed epically because all he did was sit there. Then I said, "Watch me," and I crossed my legs and floated around even more having a blast, while kicking up some nearby stones with the wind I floated on. I then stopped and remembered that I could control all four elements, so I tried fire. It shot out of my hands in a red flame. I tried to propel myself upward but it didn't work very well.
