Very good tutorials. Using imagination in active dream control is seldom mentioned, but it is the easiest way to get something to work for me.

I also agree with active and passive dream control. I feel that if I spend time switching some active dream control over to passive (everything into a simple item, sword, gun, watch, ring) then I can expand my active dream powers to more important dream activities. Already done this with stability (ish, I have too many ways to stabilize. ) and I plan to do it with other control soon.

The reason it should be easier is simply that it requires brain "power" to use active dream control. Passive is just controlling expectation at a really simple level. Stabilize just by pressing a button, fire by my sword etc.

Random thoughts of mine. Haha. I also use fake dream memories to make active dream control easier, but meh, I've rambled enough.
