I think this is the best advice so far. Alot of times when I don't have much control in my lucids, it's because they are almost too real. It seems that our mind plays tricks on us and no matter how much we think "I'm going to make a fire ball!" ...our mind is like...are you crazy? You can't do that.

It's only certain types of lucids when this happens. I also suggest that the best way to escape this is to try dream spinning into another scenario. Usually when you do this you will end up somewhere where you will have more control.

I've sort of noticed a pattern that the more realistic my lucids are, the less control I have. And the more obscure and somewhat fuzzy or absurd my lucids are, the more control I have. I think dream spinning will work because it usually puts you into a more "unrealistic" dreamscape.

Good luck.
