How does one take control of their dreams? I get those moments where I realize I'm dreaming and the first instinct is to try to fly but it never works, I stay stuck to the ground. I try hard but it's the equivalent to trying to get stuff by jedi force powers irl.
dig through the archive for things like Lucid Dreaming and Tulpa shit. Make sure it's at the very least 3+ years old.
You'll find a lot of good content.

Look at your hands before you go to sleep, telling yourself that you will look at your hands in your dream to know you are lucid.
Then when you are lucid in your dream, look at your hands.

Try doing big jumps at first and eventually you just won't fall back down.

Start small.
I started because I had unbearable nightmares as a kid. Learned to wake up by blinking in a dream. From there I just tried to focus on the outcome of the dream.
Try not to force it. It comes over time. Try to levitate first, then fly. Try and change the little things
practicing. A lot.
thats really what it comes down to. Do the rality checks and dream journals and all that but you need to stay with it and keep trying. Its hard for me because between work and school I dont like to fuck with my sleep schedule but if I do I find I have better luck
also if you do wake back to bed, experiment with different times. I found the best for me was 7-7;30 after trying it at 5;00 AM and not having much luck
how do you guys choose and focus on your dream settings? Like I have a few I want to have a lucid dream in (like say a Forrest or a city) but when I dream its not like those places. And if I try to change the whole setting I wake myself up

I get this all the time, but it's usually when I'm close to waking up in the morning which means I have a boner, and then my first instinct is to fuck. So I end up having dream sex with insanely attractive dream people and then wake up immediately afterwards and kick myself for not doing something actually cool like flying. I only finish and make a mess occasionally.
If I whack off or get laid before sleeping though I'll usually just explore, and that's the most fun. If you find a way to fly, that's great, but next time just try to focus on what's actually happening in front of you and start walking around. It's just kinda cool how you realize you're dreaming in a convenience store, walk outside a few feet and suddenly you're in a jungle.
