I'll recommend you for a gold star. I did not ask to be looked down upon and gloated to, I asked for advice.

While it is true that the subconscious plays a role, I was fully convinced that I was able to change the details - until it didn't work. I still believe I can change it, but people are all different and thus, no perfect, universal method exists. Some people can visualize objects better than others, and using different tricks and techniques.

And I have to disagree with your belief that people don't need practice with controlling their dreams. What about the people who think that dream control is a skill? Just because you think it's not a skill does not make it so. They would get better with every try because they truly believe they will, but I guess, being a master and all, you don't need practice

I mentioned in my initial post that I had tried that. Please read the thread before posting
