Thread: not being able to control where I move in my dreams.

This. It seems confidence plays a major role inside a LD and the dreamworld, at least from my personal experience, is merciless when you hesitate or second guess yourself. Be unsure about your capacity to even jump 20cm and it is guaranteed you will have a hard time doing it... be confident to blow up a mountain and you do it instantly. Problem is, I believe, sometimes the insecurity is cleverly hidden on the subconscious and if it emerges even a tiny little bit beneath the confidence, that mountain will return to it's previous state in a second.

Only thing left to do is to practice, practice, practice...

Good luck!
