LD Beginner with some doubts.

I'm going to start trying to Lucid Dream. I'm going to use the reality check method. I have a few questions though. First off, if I'm in a dream and I realize I'm dreaming, is it 100% guaranteed that I will be able to control it from there? Also, when dreaming, can I just change places automatically? What if I'm dreaming that some dragon is eating me, then I realize that it's a lucid dream. Can I just get out of that scenario or do I have to actually do the running and walking of it?

This seems very cool. Can you control what other people think about you in Lucid Dreams?

Well, yes & no. Depends on your level of development. For example, it took me a year to do that, but I didn't have nightmares, so it wasn't that bad!! :D

*chuckle* Actually, that's one of my first vivid lucid dreams! Only it was a shark, not a dragon. And it is actually not scary to be killed when one knows one is dreaming. In fact, I purposely got run over by a car once in a lucid dream, just for the fun of it. Wanted to knwo what it was like to be dead. I had a marvellous out-of-body-experience! So to answer your initial question, no, you cannot be GUARANTEED to be able to change your dream at any time, but IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. Lucridous and even dangerous situations become incredibly amusing, and a very calm humor springs up. I love having lucid nightmares for this reason. No, the only scary dreams I've had for several years are false awakenings and one particular dream where I fell into a black hole and couldn't get out of it. . . . One scary dream in a few years isn't so bad though.
