i know how you feel, as for me, only with a lot of prior thought (throughout the day) am i really becoming more capable to have control and even moreso to have planned control in my LDs. all i would say is keep training (however works right for you). for me, i tend to spend most waking moments (when not working -- heh heh!, or engaging in convos) daydreaming of ideas, mostly threaded out of what i have already done in LDs. i find it easier to visualize taking a previous experience to a new place (rather than just create a new one from scratch). if you journal, you should start to know what dreamsigns (and places) seem to be good starting points. good luck!
