That's very detailed. I've only heard rumor of astral projection, and I've reason to believe I'm not capable of lucid dreaming, so I can't help you there. But I read an article somewhere that those interested in their dreams are more likely to remember them, if you're interested in dreams. There are ways to help remember them, like keeping a dream journal. I think there's a way to control your dreams through lucid dreaming, but, yet again, I've never even come close to achieving it, so I can't say for sure.
