      Infinite Control and Omnipotence

      Hi, I am new here.

      I didn't know anything about lucid dreaming since a couple of weeks ago.
      I experienced a short time period where I suddenly found myself able to control my dreams in some way or the other almost every night. After some unimaginably amazing experiences I started recognizing patterns in how it worked on my own. How I needed to stay calm when I realized that I was dreaming in order to stay lucid, how I should stay focused to not forget that I was dreaming and loose control again, how there were tricks to imagine something more easily which would allow me to do a bit more whilst dreaming (I found that it was difficult to make an object or a person just pop up in front of me when I desired so, instead making them appear behind my back and slowly turning around worked much better), how I could not do anything I wanted since some extreme actions would pull me back into the boring reality I am stuck in right now etc. I soon came to the conclusion that I can not be the only one experiencing this kind of thing and I started doing some research and found that I discovered quite a lot on my own already, as opposed to some people who discover the phenomenon not through their own experiences but through somebody else's, trying to mimic them and become lucid on their own.
      I am eager to improve my experiences both in quantity and quality.
      So... first to the quality since I seem to be pretty lucky compared to others regarding the quantity .

      In one of my early dreams I found myself able to do pretty much anything I wanted to without having to be afraid that it would wake me up or without having to come up with some fancy tricks that would make whatever I wanted to do easier for me.
      For example, while walking along the street in my dream (I was actually running at high speeds and really enjoying myself ), I figured it would be nice to have some cute girls around (not trying to be sexist here, every adolescent boy has his desires, haha). I didn't have to think about any weird trick or how those girls were supposed to appear, but suddenly a car stopped next to me and one back door opened, welcoming me to enter and accompany two very nice looking girls to wherever I wanted to go. I didn't have to do anything, the mere desire to see those girls seemed to be enough for them to appear.
      This experience planted a seed of hope into my consciousnesses, that maybe it was possible to obtain ABSOLUTE control in a lucid dream.
      The problem was that while I was dreaming that night I didn't really think of doing anything really fancy. I didn't try to make a T-Rex-head crash out of the next neighborhood garage door or to make an abyss open in front of me, ripping the entire planet apart, revealing a passage to Middle Earth or Hyrule.

      I am really having troubles with this, last night I woke up just because I tried to turn on the lights without a light switch! Instead of turning on the lights I opened my eyes really abrupt just to find myself in my bed, very pissed of course.

      So I ask:
      Is it possible to have a dream where I can make Mount Doom burst out of the lake next to my house into the clouds, make two blue suns rise while daemons and angels are having a war in the sky, summon an army of one million undead samurai who emerge out of a flowerpot while I fly to mars and fight the robot unicorns that are invading it, just to go to a PinkFloyd concert on the dark side of the moon afterwards... and all this without having to worry about how and why even once.

      Is it possible?
      If yes:
      - Is it unlikely?
      - Do I need to do something to achieve this or do I just have to be lucky?
      - If I don't need to do something, would it at least be helpful?
      - What could I do and how?
      - Has anyone here ever had an experience like that?
      If no:
      - ...
      - damn it! -.- What a pity.

      Thanks for any advice or help .

      It is easy but it will take practise and a slightly different mindset. Firstly I will post a fragment of Robert Waggoners Gatewaye to Inner Self.
      "If you control the dream, who made the grass green and the sky blue? Who created the new scene when you cam around the corner or flew through a wall into a new room? Did you control all that new scenery and detail into being?"
      He observes here that although we may manipulate the dream scene we are not in full control, no matter how strong our lucidity. Now this doesn't pose much of a problem but you must be weary that the dream does not always go your way and may unexpectadly change things.
      When lucid dreamers first start their journey they don't focus on the intent of wanting to make a fireball appear out of their hand but instead perform the action and expect the fireball to follow. While this may seem very obvious it seems to be a major stumbling block.
      All it really takes to become omnipotent is your focused attention and intent.
      When I first started lucid dreaming I had a few goals, one of which was to fill a valley with water using telekinesis and another was to sink a mountain into the ground. At first I kept trying to use telekinesis and all different magic etc but I soon realized that all these have no meaning in dreams. While the visual may be amazing it is not what is causing the water to levitate. I realized that when I focused hard enough the mountain would collapse on itself without any struggle on my part.
      Your potential focus and attention increase with each lucid as the quality and lucidity increase. It will become easy and then you can truly do whatever you want.
