And also, if i ever get really good at lucid dreaming, i would like to be able to create a place in my mind that i can go to, like an island or something and i can imagine anybody i want to be there with me, and to keep visiting this place everytime i dream. Is that possible?
I have had lucid dreams since I was 11 years old. I got this ability to control some of my dreams because of the nightmares I often have had. At that time I realised that I could gain control over the dream just in order to stop it. When I hade a nightmare I started to look for a window to jump out of in my dream in order to wake upp. It was scary so I developed an other way to wake up from any dream, through that I close my eyes in my dreams and wake up. It is working even today. But I didn't try to come up with an idea what I was waken. I was forced to find a solution in my dreams, because I was scared of all the nightmares.
Later I began to control dreams on a more conscious level. I usually have one och two quaestions in my head when I am awake, during the day. The best is to come up with one question och one thing you want to dream about. Once you have one concrete thing in you mind you have to say to being repete it for yourself. For instance: Which grade do I get on my math exam?
You have to think simple, take one simple meaning in your mind and repeat it and decide that you dream about it. For me it takes sometimes a month or just a few days to get the answer in my dreams.
That happenes is that I remember my question in my dream and because of that I can take controll over the dream. The first thing to do when you have control is to find a place, a person, an objekt in your dream in order to continiue being in control. I usually look around and try to find one thing, whatever I can concentrate on. It is usually a mirror or a person.
I haven't though managed to meet people I want to in my dreams, that is too hard for me when I have lucid dreams.
I hope it helps,
