My latest experiment with my lucid dreams is to try to create a "home base"--a place I could easily recreate/teleport to when I became lucid--so that I'd have a stable environment to start out from when I wanted it. I figured a simple room with a desk and openable window should do, since I could easily imagine things lying on the desk, and open the window to go outside. (I chose an indoor location because most of my dreams take place indoors.)

I have, however, had a hard time creating this location. I can visualize it pretty clearly while waking, though. So far, two tries, during the past week:

The first was during a dream about family. I became lucid and decided to see if I could create my "home base"; I only ended up with a desk. The annoying thing was that the dream continued around me; my little sister was the most persistent dream character of the lot. All I managed was the desk.

The second time I did a little better. In this dream I became lucid and was at college; I walked around the outside of the building, let myself in through a wall, and pulled some shelves together at the bookstore to form an enclosed space. I also had a chair and a clipboard there. Still not near what I wanted.

So I'm wondering: I've had experience at creating/summoning items, and at "teleporting" to different locations. However, teleporting to or creating an entire, specific (if simple) room still seems to elude me:

--Dreams are fluid, and creating a specific, static place seems difficult.
--I still persist in thinking in "real-world" terms: i.e., pushing bookshelves together rather than simply creating walls.
--Is the simplicity of the room a problem?
--Is it a problem that the room does not have a real-world duplicate? (I have tried teleporting to rooms that exist in real life, but they are often fluid and changeable, and too complicated to recreate the same way each time).

What I'm looking for is a consistent location that stays the same, that I can easily create whenever I become lucid.

Any advice?
