I'm new to this site, but not to lucid dreaming. I have been having LDs for years, mostly about flight, although I didn't know what they were until recently. Anyway, I spent a good amount of time yesterday going over this site, and last night I had a really good lucid experience. I was able to stay lucid longer than usual, and I had a good bit of control over my surroundings. Day to night, city to country, flight, all kinds of things. I was able to get rid of some nightmare aspects, and turn it into a really great dream. The only problem I had was when I tried to bring a specific person into my dream. I ended up with someone completely different! I couldn't get rid of him either, so I tried turning him into someone else. That worked, but I still didn't get who I originally tried for. Any advice on this? or is it just a matter of focus? Also, I tried spinning, but I was too close to waking for it to work I think, because I just woke up. Thanks!
