I had control over my actions, was able to erase other people and the environment from my dream.

*Optional* Did you observe any effects of meditation from within your lucid dream[s] that was not covered in the questions above?

while meditating in the dream I was able to isolate my dream self from everything else and became increasingly aware of my actual self. I eventually lost awareness of both my actual and dream self and drifted into a complete blackness that eventually faded back into normal dreaming. How long the darkness lasted I am not exactly sure, it did not seem like very long though.
