Hi Scarfaceone, what an odd thing for your parents to name you; you must have been teased a lot in school.

You will have to develop skills over many years of practice. At first simple things like staying focused and summoning things/people will be hard enough. Then a few months to learn to fly and so on, but yes, eventually you can do anything you can imagine. It has the potential to be a virtual reality of incredible intensity.

Welcome to DV, Scarface!

What Sivason said - yes, you can learn to summon / create in a dream whatever you want, but it takes practice. First you'll need to get better recall of dreams, and then get more frequent lucids and only then you'll be able to practice dream control - which also takes time. That being said, even more basic dream control like super speed or flight is very enjoyable and fun... But assuming that you'll practice patiently and regularly over a year or two - you should be at the level to summon and control whatever you want in at least a portion of your lucids.

The one dream I remember that was semi-lucid(Because I had no control over it but saw myself sleeping) was one where I was running away from my old teacher, Mr O'Shea, because he absolutely petrified me in real life with his angry personality. I ran off, then I ran past my old nursery, then another Teacher I knew called Mrs Rainbow prepared me a Minecart, so I did the Minecart like in Tomb Raider 3, and saw myself in my bedroom, jumped in myself and woke up.

Just to be clear, a lucid dream is just a dream where you know you're dreaming (by being able to access at least some real life memories in the dream and differentiate them from dream memories).
Having dream control isn't a requirement of lucid dreaming, but with enough dream duration and lucidity dream control is pretty easy to get.
A semi-lucid is a dream where you know that something is off - like suddenly your mom looks different, or you just have a weird feeling - but can't explain it and don't fully realize you're dreaming before waking up.

So there, does anyone know where I can talk about more of my old dreams?

You can log your dreams in the Dream Journal part of this site:
Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views - Recent DJ Posts - Dream Journals

To discuss your non-lucid dreams you can post in the "Sleep and Dreams" forums, for example:
General Dream Discussion - "This is for discussion of general non-lucid dream topics. Here you are welcome to post any questions or comments regarding anything dream-related; please use the General Lucid Discussion for general lucid dreaming topics." This also include the "Dream Interpretation" sub-forum if you're into that kind of stuff...
or
Dream Gallery - "Post your coolest non-lucid or lucid dream. ALL POSTS are moderated and subject to approval."
And so on...

Btw, if you want help with getting into lucid dreaming practice, you can start a workbook in the DV Academy or just ask questions in separate threads in the Lucid Dreaming section.
Hope this helps!

Sorry for bumping a little bit, but, Should I start off by doing some simple flying? That's apparently what you can do in a lucid dream.

Lol, it's not my real name of course. I think you're joking.
