   Hello,   
      
   I sympathise with the fact that its difficult to control characters in lucid   
   dreams. I often find the same. This can be frustrating, but is also   
   fascinating as you are not sure what will happen next.   
      
   I often try to purposely summon a character and if they materialise, I find   
   they are more likely to do what I want than characters who have appeared   
   randomly. However, even when a character does what you want in principle,   
   they often seem to deviate - the experience never seems to go exactly how   
   you would like!   
      
   But I'm not sure I'd fancy the bathtub of spaghetti whoever was in it!   
      
   regards   
   MG
