Intended and I have been having a discussion in another forum about whether it is possible to have prolonged emotional control during lucid dreams. I know that it is possible to do it for a few seconds at a time, but I want to know what others have experienced first hand in having prolonged experiences of extreme emotions at will. Intended thinks it would take too much concentration and effort and would be too exhausting to maintain. My last post sums up my perspective.

It wasn't a result of concentrating on the feeling I wanted. It was a result of the surrounding situation I created. I have on a few occasions created extreme childhood nostalgia by going back in time to my childhood, actually a fictitious imitation of it, and seeing profound visuals. All of those situations were very short because the scenery was quickly shifting. The most extreme moment of childhood nostalgia happened immediately before I woke up, so maybe too much of a rush during sleep causes waking. I have a hard time staying with any one thing in a lucid. The scenery and events are constantly shifting. That probably plays a major role in the difficulty. But I still say that maybe prolonged emotional control can be mastered.
What do you think/know?
