      Dream Control

      Hello,

      My name is Heimrik and I'm not entirely new to lucid dreaming, I have been doing it for quite a while now, but I've never been really able to keep my motivation up. I often have, when I'm dreaming, that I am aware of this, but really controlling the dream after that never seems to work. I was wondering whether there are people here who have achieved this and who can tell me if it's actually similar to real life and that the control you exert quite complete is. Basically if there are some veterans here who, if they lucid dream, can actually really control their dream at will.
      I'm looking forward to hearing about it.

      Hi Heimrik,
      Dream control is all about confidence. You have to believe you can do something or you won't be able to. Confidence plays a big role in lucid dreaming. Have you seen this dream control tutorial on the wiki? Also KingYoshi teaches a Dream Control Course you can view here.
      Good luck!

      Mancon's right; dream control practically runs on how confident you are, and how much you really believe that anything can happen. You have to "know" that someone you're looking for will walk around the corner, or "know" that when you turn around, there will be a chair. Visualizing what you want to happen is also tremendously helpful, from my own experiences. When you turn around and expect the chair to be there, think about how it's going to look - what color the wood is, if it's facing you or is at an angle, etc. If you have an idea of what you want to do in a dream, you can also daydream about it a little while you're awake. It helps cement the image of what you want to do, dream-control wise, in your next lucid.

      I often like to compare dream control to watching a movie that you've already seen a whole bunch of times; you simply know where the people are going to be looking, what they'll say, and what the scenery looks like.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.
