    when i was having frequent lucid dreams i had awareness of the fact i was dreaming but did not have much control over them.

    if i was searching to find my dog, for instance, I would have to really explore the messed up blended together landscape i was physically in and find locations associated with my dog.

    in my experience, you cannot just summon a bunch of hunky dudes out of mid air sicko-wistful

      Up until I was 9 I could, on demand, stop any dream and pick from a “selector” just like a jukebox to go back to any other dream I had and enjoyed. I was fully aware I was sleeping, and would choose freely.

      I hate that as I got older I completely lost this skill.

      Summoning out of thin air is harder, ime telling myself something is just around a corner and turning it with the expectation it would there works much better.
