I've just started seriously pursuing Lucid Dreaming and I noticed quite quickly that I fail at dream control, most of the time. Even though I can manipulate the dream it will usually be in ways the dream dictates or not as I predict. I got really annoyed at this and so yesterday I chanted to myself that in a dream I would be 'God'. Probably not the best mantra but it served a purpose.

That night I had a dream in which I suddenly noticed I had telekineses. I didn't become Lucid, which annoyed me no end when I woke up. Next I noticed I also had total control over the weather. I told a DC about this and they asked me to prove it so I turned the rain on and off a few times before lasooing a car telekineticly. I continued going around summoning and moving things getting increasingly confident. Then, a DC insulted me from somewhere, I think. Well they definately did something to upset me because I turned to face them and the building we were in fell away and storm clouds appeared. I then pointed at him, telekinesed him into the air and shouted "I am God!". I then woke up a bit dazed wanting to attempt a DEILD.

So I'm guessing the mantra worked, but I'm not sure if I'd have actually managed to do all that stuff whilst Lucid. Is is normal to have less ability to control your dreams in Lucid Dreams as opposed to Non-Lucids? If so, why and how can the skills be transferred?
