Dear Seth,
Now that you know that you DO indeed have Lucid Dreams, you will have to create for yourself a pre-planned Lucid Dream Checklist -- the things that you will want to do when you go Lucid.
Also, with a Lucid Dreaming Checklist, it give your Mind time to create the Images you will wish to see. You know, it was a bit unfair of you to ask to see a lifesize figure from a Video Game when you were in your first Lucid Dream. How was your mind supposed to comply with such a tall order? It takes the Mind time to create these images. If you had had a Lucid Dream Checklist, and this Video Action Figure had been on the List, then your Mind would have had some time to prepare for this demand.
Also, you should realize that your Dreaming Mind does indeed have a Mind of its Own -- it has a Will and Volition of its own. Everything you have heard about being able to do anything you want, ... all that you have heard of having Total Control... well, forget all of that. it was all hype. It was all promotion. It was all promise to suck you in. Actually, nothing much has changed. Your Conscious Mind is still the 10%, and your Higher Mind is still 90%. The 10% will never be the Master of the 90%.
So, confine your Lucid Dream Checklist Items to objectives that are within your conscious power. For instance, don't demand that your Dream provide a certain Image because you cannot control that. But you can Plan to levitate. You can Plan to 'discontinue the action of the present dream'. You can resolve to say a certain Prayer or intone a certain Mantra. Will to do things in a Lucid Dream that you know you have power to do.
Now, why do I focus on Prayers and Mantras. Well, Dreams are the Threshold of Magic, and Prayers and Mantras are the positive aspects of what are ordinarily called Spells and Charms. What Spells and Charms are the most powerful? Well, you have heard of the Collective Consciousness, haven't you? Consult the Religious Literatures of the World and find out what the most powerful Prayers and Mantras have been. The Prayers and Mantras that have been used from time immemorial have a great deal of power behind them -- in the Astral Field they have set up a Powerful Subjective Reality which your repetition would feed into.
But you can also use a Lucid Dreaming Checklist to work on Personal Issues and Spiritual Development. Let your Higher Mind know which direction you would wish to go in. And then leave if for your Higher Mind to create the Perfect Dream for that Situation. Then, the next time you go Lucid, simply walk away from present Dream Activity and then Levitate away and allow yourself to descend into the Pre-Planned Lucid Dream Scenario, or you can do the Lucid Twirl -- spin around and when you stop you will be within the Lucid Dream Scenario which you had suggested to your Higher Mind in the details of your Lucid Dreaming Checklist.
Sometimes your Higher Mind will go along with your suggestions perfectly, but at other times your Higher Mind will present Tests and Dilemmas. You might find that you are not instantly ready to face certain Spiritual Realities, and that your Higher Mind will respond to your requests by showing you where your problems exist and where resistance has been found. But such limited Lucid Dreams will indeed be opportunities for Spiritual Growth. The Questions posed by these Lucid Dreams will help one to formulate the objectives to be listed in one's Update of one's Lucid Dreaming Checklist.
