you just need to practice more. |

Lately I've been miserably failing at controlling some of my dreams. Is it possible that I am just asking to much of my subconscience to create for me? |

Hmmm, yeah control can be hard to actually get... But try to be happy with a hallway full of doors? More oppurtunities I would say.. : ) |

I have been trying the exact same length of time as you and I have the same problem, but I think you are doing better than me. I am starting to wonder if controls is going to come or not and it is discouraging. But, I guess we've go another opportunity every night, hopefully progress will come with time. I don't have a good sense of how long it took people who do have good control to get there; if they always had it or it took a long time, or if different people are different. |

Or perhaps you are devaluing the dreams at hand in favor of other potentialities that you would wish to occur in your dreams. As far as I know the only thing I have been able to control is my -perspective- everything else is subject to the unconcious mind. I personally believe if you are shown a mundane hallway, there is a point. Symbology exists behind everything we dream. |

I get what you are saying, BerserkExodus, if there is not some lack of control, it wouldn't be a dream. I don't think I could have total control, because I couldn't consciously think of all the things that are usually going on in a dream. But it would be nice to be able to fly more and stuff like that. |

What I have realized, is that in all my lucid dreams, my subconscience has already created the environment for me, and I just have fun inside of tha environment. Very few instances have I re-done the entire environment. The easiest ones I can think of... is going into outer space (though don't expect anything to realistic). I have made attempts to change environment, and failed a lot. |

The way I see it is - you need to build up your skills. |

Yea, I'd say you should spend just a bit mroe time, maybe 5-10 seconds, really imagininng that you are IN the place you want to be and believing that you are...I'm not super experienced yet but I find that the more fucos I put in the better my results are. As opposed to just arbitrarily declaring, "I'm going to be a hockey player now!" maybe it would work better to actually FEEL that you are, if that makes any sense. |

You're not asking for too much, but don't stress over it. Control can be hard to achieve even for the most experienced among us. Some dreams, where you have a high level of lucidity, will be easier to control than others. But I believe the key is confidence. If you truly believe that something will happen in your dream, the chances are far greater of it happening the way you want than if you are just "hoping" for it. |
