Here's the thing. I don't really want to be changing the places I am in during a dream. I like the unexpected. However, I do wish I had greater control over the items I can have. So many times I'll be like "oh I need such and such right now" but won't be able to come accross a certain item. What I really want to do, which I find very hard, is to just make an item appear in my hand. I find it easier to find something in a location that I cannot see yet. I want it to be like the scene in Fight Club (The gun is in my hand.) Even last night, I knew I was lucid and could control my actions, but I just couldn't make things appear. Is vocalizing my intent the best way to go about this? I'm thinking I should just keep repeating to myself over and over until I get what I want. Any other suggestions?
