Thank you, nice of you to take the time to respond.
And may I say it's a nice answer, but think about this.

How can people who dream, who trun those dreams into reality
actively avoid change. Dreams change, the true dreamer changes with them.

Outside of this one tribe, dreaming, I am an out right asshole, it's just one place
to care for others, very magic.

I think that might not always be the case

it is most often through tense, charged or scary encounters in dreams that i am snapped into a lucid state.

The result of practicing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram daily was that i would perform it in my dreams when i felt threatened,and this would cause me to then be lucid for the rest of that dream sequence.
In one case, i continued through the dream landscape practicing the invoking and banishing modes of the elemental pentagrams, altering the landscape in various ways.

I find that the sudden challenge in a dream causes me to reveal to myself the symbol, practice or force in which i have the most faith or psychic momentum invested....whether it be Runes during my Rune phase (i would make an Algiz or assume its Stadr while intoning its Galdr)
or during my devotional phases i would chant Om Namah Shivaya or the MahaMrityunjaya Mantra....
interestingly, the LBRP or Star Ruby are the ones that tend to result in lucidity and control of the dream, rather than merely providing shelter, like the other methods did.

I find "nightmares" to be a test of my ritual practice and an opportunity for lucidity.
