So, even though I've said I had 2 Lucid Dreams, I've probably had about 7 or 8. However, when I do have them, I can't control anything (I know lucid dreaming isn't necessarily dream control) and DCs are very un-cooperative. They don't answer my questions properly. However, I'm still unsure if I've had a "true" Lucid dream...

How to improve dream control and vividness of the dreams? Also, is VILD an effective method?
