Last night I had a very long and vivid lucid dream, with perhaps the best dream control I've ever had. Some DC's were attacking me, and I decided to Kamehameha one of them, but half way through the motion, I've got nothing. While my arms are still behind me, I think "Wow, I can feel the energy building up in my hands," when I really felt nothing of the sort. A moment later however, I really did feel the energy and successfully Kamehamehad a DC.

After that, my control was spot on. I shot webs like Spider-Man, made myself freakishly ripped and beat the crap out of more DC's trying to attack me, in very theatric ways.

So, does anyone else "lie" to themselves to get better control?
