Lucid Superpowers

I'm currently reading 'Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming', among other things. I hope to improve my ability to have lucid dreams. They are pretty cool.

Here's a half remembered list of supernatural things I've done in previous lucid dreams:

Flying / Hovering: I've flown many times and can usually achieve flight pretty easily if that's what I want to do. Hovering is much easier than walking. I've hovered many times a few feet above ground. I once hovered up stairs.

Telekinesis: In one dream I was throwing juggling balls away from myself and pulling them back to my hand. In a later dream, I juggled without using my hands.

Teleportation: I tried to walk through a wall and failed so I closed my eyes and imagined myself underwater. I began swimming upward through the ceiling of the room I was in. Before I opened my eyes, I imagined an office setting, and opened my eyes to find myself there.

Modification: I was swimming in a pool and stopped to see someone sitting on the side. I didn't know the person, so I changed who they were into someone I wanted to see. Unfortunately, their face didn't come out right. There were two large holes in their skin.

Creation: I wanted to try eating in a lucid dream, so I created two pieces of bread in front of me and began dispensing jelly from my finger. After the jelly, I had my finger write in peanut butter on the other piece, then put it together and ate my Pb+J.

I was recently successful viewing my reflection, but there's nothing supernatural about that. I had just wanted to see it in a dream.

The book has some ideas for things to do while lucid dreaming, but I haven't read that far yet. Here are some things I'd still like to do:

Talk to dream characters: My lucid dream conversations are usually short because I am excited to exercise a supernatural power. I would like to have a long conversation.

Consciously change into a giant or pea-sized person.

Write something legibly: My dream handwriting is really bad.

Now that I'm writing this, I think it would be cool to have 360 vision (idea from Waking Life) or to have my consciousness in two different bodies (this sounds quite difficult).

If you practice writing them down when you wake up, you'll get better at remembering them.

Also, I was able to shrink myself to 1/2 size last night. Not quite pea-sized but it's a start.
