I would suggest, rather than trying to manipulate your whole dream environment at once, try smaller steps.
Becoming aware of dreaming is the first step. Becoming aware of the dream environment is an easily-skipped second step. I recommend an exercise of moving your awareness from item to item in your environment, resting on each for a few seconds then moving on. This will help you engage more of your awareness while maintaining the dream. After you've gone around your environment like this, pick something about the environment and direct your attention to it with the intention to change it.
