Ok, so I should be happy that I've finally had another LD (last Saturday). As many cool things one can do in an LD and as crazy as one can get, I have only one simple goal at this point - to summon a dream character.

I became lucid shortly after spotting my (up untill recently) elusive dream sign - a tornado. Once I passed the flying test, I right away took off and started looking for this character I've created in waking life that I will eventually like to make into a dream sign of some sort. Anyway, I flew through clouds and called out for him. Still, I felt I had no control whatsoever! I was alone. He never appeared.

This is the second time I've been fortunate enough to be in a lucid dream and still be unsuccesful at summoning dream characters! I hate to give up, but I feel like I'm wasting my few and prescious lucid dreams standing around calling characters that never appear.

Anyone know if there's any trick to getting such control in LDs?
