How can I gain more control over my lucid dreams
 

How can I alter my surroundings and people around me?

It takes time, practice, and confidence.

In my early days I would decide what I wanted to have happen, snap my fingers, and nothing changed. Once I got really confident and strong things moved to my will. It took some practice though.

Sometimes instead of altering a dreamscape you gotta scrap it and start with a new one. Breaks the program so to speak.

Thanks. I remember on your podcast you said that you liked to hang out with the Fantastic Four in Lucid Dreams. I'd like to hang out with characters from my favourite comic "Love and Rockets"
