Hey,

Today was my first lucid dream in a long time.. and I can thank that on doing reality checks again (looking at my hands is a BIG key for me)

But anyways, in the lucid dream, as soon as I became lucid, it started to fade away, but then I tried hard to stabalize it, and I said increase vividness, and it increased a little bit and I seemed to be fine. But then I went looking around and tried to make someone appear. I said to myself, when i turn around, i want <so and so> to appear. I then turned the other way, and then turned back, and no one was there. I then walked further into another room and turned me back again, and said it again, and then turned back around, and no on was there. I then gave up on that and then walked back over and searched some more and found a clock on my wall. I then tried to make the clock dissapear. I said this is my dream, and i want that clock to disappear

But once again, that clock wouldnt disapear.

I then went back into another room and tried to make someone else appear but then I lost lucidity and the lucid dream transformed into a normal dream

But can someone give me some tips on how to control things? I dont get it at all.

I realize now I should of done more non-advanced things (just go explore things, maybe eat something, try to fly, etc)

But as for making objects appear, 'expecting' them to appear just doesnt work for me.. or maybe i need more practice

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
