Yes, in general, but it needs a little explanation.
Each person will be better at different things more often than others, and sometimes you will have your powers restricted in dreams for seemingly no reason.
When I first started LDing I couldn't fly even though most everyone I see can fly. It took me about 70 LDs to learn a consistent way to fly in dreams.
Things like fire are easy for me (and have been since I started), but sometimes still don't work.
EditAlso! Sometimes you could be worse or better randomly! You might have an awesome dream where all of the flight and fire and everything is super easy for some reason. It will continue to get better and better as you go, but more like a scatter graph than straight line.
I guess I could say that some things you start out with, but every time you start a lucid dream, there is a chance that dream control won't work (I have ways to get around this, but that is a different thread).
After you do something a bunch of times, it is pretty rare that it won't work for you. You can pull it out, do new things with it, and even use it to cover for other dream controls missing (flying missing? use fire!)
each dream control seems to take a certain amount of "mental energy" that is pretty low at the start. When I first started LDing, I had to use all my mind to just shoot fireballs, now I can teleport, throw a fireball, summon a sword, all while flying and paying attention to multiple opponents. This is the most "RPG like thing" the mental energy. This is why I create items, because they don't seem to take mental energy to use (a watch for control, a map for teleporting, a touch screen for my items, etc)
LDman
Everyone that I have met with over 300 LDs has at least semi persistent characters and places (some have control of it by then, others it takes longer). Your mind can revisit dreams, you are just limiting yourself by not believing! Check out Hyu's Journal or some other good LDer (I don't journal much, but I have spent at least 100 LDs in Zodra now).
