Ah that's where you're wrong. See in a dream anything is possible

DreamQueen, do you mean that maybe if the elf was in the bag, she will come out in a bigger size than she was in the bag? The bag was actually quite small...

You didn't really specify anything regarding how hard you were trying to get this elf character to appear, but frequently if you are inexperienced with lucid dreaming and try too hard to control a dream, the dream simply misbehaves and/or starts to dissolve before your eyes!

I've lost countless of potentially excellent lucid dreams by suddenly deciding that I want something to happen and trying to use sheer will-power to make it so.

That said, there is a lot of great advice in this thread. I'd suggest trying to go for a more passive route. Next time you are lucid, just resist the urge to immediately go elf-hunting, go with the flow of the dream BUT if you happen to engage in a conversation with a dream character, ask them nicely if they know where the elf is.

yes too much willpower is putting to much information on the stimuli causing you to wake up i suppose as like a bird said dont over excert yourself

Yup.

In dreams, anything is possible
