Controlling your dreams is a whole new ballgame, or so I've been led to believe.


My feeling is that controlling is a nuisance for lucidity, or even just the quality of a dream. The lucid dream can become like a day- dream fantasy if you let yourself take the whole control. You can develop easily typical recurring "control" habits. It took me many years to no more fly in lucid dreams, and just walk and get on with the dream.

I would say that on the contrary, the more you abandon control, the more big is the chance to be unexpectedly surprised and led to a "big dream".

It is similar with some psychotropics, and perhaps with life, and ... (of course!) computer science, where universality entails partial control only (if your remember the proof?).

Is it a new ballgame? The French and Dutch wrote quite impressive books on lucid dreams in the 19th century, but before Jouvet, Hearne, LaBerge, Dement, etc. that was out the domain of science (for bad reasons).

Dreams constitutes the royal path to metaphysics and doubt. The indian yoga vasistha, like the whole platonism (in my opinion) is based on that idea. It is easy to become lucid in one dream, but it can be hard, if not impossible, to *remain* lucid in the many dreams.
