That's a good point. I guess through all the reading and research I've done; for the most part inexpierenced LDers have alot of complications such as dream recall, being able to become lucid, and most of all dream control. Alot of people put such emphasis on practicing that I asummed only expierenced LDers would be able to bring knowledge to this topic. I do understand that some people are gifted but I think for the most part most people have to diligently work at it. I am very interested in the level of control that you have over your dream. Do you care to share.
I suppose it's an understandable misconception; I think for the most part people needing to work at control is because they don't fully understand what's going on, combined with a lack of confidence.
1. I am interested in the level of control an expierenced LDer has over his/her dream. When posting please be very expierenced and give descriptive accounts of the expierience. Can you simply change the seen at will. Can you make anything happen at a moments notice. Additionally, are you able to enter lucidity at will anytime during sleep. I know that Stephen LaBerge could lucid dream at will 3 and 4 times a night.
I haven't had the chance to change the scene at will; the amount of time I've had whilst lucid has been the limiting factor sadly. I have however managed to sucessfully perform many of the advanced things I have tried, in most cases first time.
As an example, the first time I tried to fly in my 2nd lucid dream, I effortlessly managed it, and was able to fly extremely high at an astonishing speed. An amazing sensation, to say the least. I've been able to use many different powers, all perfectly. Flight, electrokinesis, pyrokinesis, telekinesis, phasing through walls ... the list will likely grow much bigger as I have more dreams.
However, when changing the dream world itself, instead of my own personal abilities, for instance, creating items out of nothing, I tend to find that more focus is required. For instance, when I created a parachute, it had no pull to open it initially, and when creating a tuxedo, the material texture was not initially how I wanted it.
Based on what I've done so far, it seems that providing I can focus enough, I can do more or less whatever I want.
However at the moment, I cannot have lucid dreams at will.
2. I now that when you first start out. LD requires diligent effort and can affect the quality of sleep due to dream journals. After one has become very proficient in LD, do you still wake up mulitiple times during the night or can you simply sleep all the way through. Also, does the fact that your consious keep you from having the same quality of sleep as when your not consious.
I've been waking up a few times a night, usually after a sleep cycle, but this hasn't affected the quality of my sleep. Personally, the time at which I go to sleep seems to determine the quality. For instance going to bed at 11PM means I wake up at 7AM fresh and relaxed, whereas if I go to bed at 4PM, I can wake up at 2PM, extremely tired, even with more sleep!
