The definition of lucid dreaming is "being aware you are dreaming while you are still dreaming".
Being able to control your dreams (lucid or not) is a separate skill. A common example of control without being lucid is daydreaming.
The combination of 'lucid' and 'control' obviously produces highly sought after experiences.
As you seem to have lots of lucid dreams, the best place to start is altering the environment around you/your avatar. Start small, like changing the color of something or make it a different time of day.
Both of these skills can occur naturally and can be learned. For most a lot of persistence is required to do them reliably (months possibly years). So just keep at it.
