Lol, my first two rules of dream control are 1. Everything requires your attention, and 2. The more attention you give something, the more related detail it creates. I'm not sure it's possible to change something you are sustaining with your attention. I think the only option is to use "blind spots", move the object out of your field of attention (which is not necessarily visual)

Blind spots are interesting. You can use them to get rid of anything, yet creation follows in their wake.

Still have to use blind spots. Here's how I did sex change one time. I was shot in the chest and the blood was running down my leg. I zoomed in visually on my leg so that it was all I could see, then mentally reframed that blood as menstrual blood. When I expanded my vision again, I was an ugly woman!

That's a great observation! But it's not energy. Everything requires your attention to exist, so attention is your main resource. Dreams are the realm of archetypes, which are basically clusters of associations which form structures. The more associations these structures have, the more attention it takes to run them.

No different than how large programs take up more processing power. Simpler concepts like "Stop" and "Go" require much less attention to sustain than say. a model of the human genome. Always be aware of anything that is eating up your attention, those make for nasty traps.
