I have trouble controlling things in my dreams.

I have WILD random alot of times. I'd be able to open my eyes while dreaming and wake up then close em and enter the same dream so I am guessing thats what WILD is. I dont prepare for WILD or anything. But my real question is why do I have such a problem controlling stuff. Like I dont want to be in the place but nothing happens. I dont want a certain person to be there so I try to make em dissappear but it dont work. I try to make stuff appear and it doesnt work. Also what Lucid Dreaming method should I try first.

The most important thing to remember is...if you don't think it will work, it won't work. Always believe it'll work, never think that it won't. Confidence is the key. You can do it! To get different places - Close your eyes and spin around in a circle for a few seconds. Think of where you want to end up when you do this. Stop and open your eyes. You'll be in the new spot! Make things appear/disappear - What really helped me was if I turned around, said "Such and such will be there [or not be there] when I turn back around." Then I turned to face my original direction, and everything worked the way it was supposed to. I found if I was looking at something when I tried to change it, I'd have a lot harder time getting it to work. You can also try pulling a magic wand out of your pocket and using that, or asking DC's to do something for you. There's a lot of different ways to go about it, you just have to experiment. Sorry if this is so confusing, I'm not the greatest explainer. Just remember, be confident, and good luck!

Be positive, any sign of doubt can completely ruin your control. Also you might want to spend a few seconds in the dream just clearing your head, relaxing and trying to stabalise the dream by rubbing your hands. Eventually control will come, you just need more practise. With the lucid techniques I'd say keep using a WILD, I mean you obviously keep getting it and it seems to be a strenght. Just stick with it man.
