1. Can you change your location and plot of dream at will in a LD? Most of the dreams I hear people just "go with the flow", so to speak. I have specific dreams in mind that I'd like to have instead of just being lucid in whatever dream I'm thrown into.

2. How much can you control? I always thought you could just do whatever, but it seems not so...

3. Can you direct me to a good source for reliable stabilization techniques and scene changing techniques? All I know is when you want to change the scene, spin, and rub your hands or touch the ground when the dream begins to fade away. Are those correct? And if so, why do they work?

4. The only RCs I know are: count your fingers, hold nose and attempt to breathe, finger through palm, and questioning reality. Why are there specific reality checks? I thought you could do whatever in a dream and if you can do something you couldn't do in real life, wouldn't that be a good enough RC? We all know we cant summon people at will in real life, so if we could we would know that we're dreaming.

5. I was thinking about buying one of those dream control apps that aid LDs. I have an iPad (we got for free ) and if yes, which should I try?

6. Dream guides. They sound awesome, how do you go about finding yours and what do they help you do? Do they also provide a sort of a look at your inner self if you ask them?

I have a lot of questions

If you could answer some it would be really appreciated.
