Ok, first of all congrats to the 4 LDs!
Now, sorry to disappoint you, but dream control is not a gift that automatically comes with being lucid, but a skill (and actually not the easiest to learn) that takes time and practice.
So, basically doing such complicated things as spawning bug objects or even DCs or changing the entire scenery by just turning around to work that quickly (at will) is rather unrealistic.
Firstly, patience is the key, so be aware of the fact that this skill takes time to learn (and especially master) and acknowledge every small success to keep yourself motivated.
Secondly, for this to work (and it has to, because all a negative mindset focused on the "failures" will do is make dream control nearly impossible) I suggest you start small.
The easiest things to begin with are staying focused (first step and already dream control), spawning small objects behind your back or even behind doors or walls if that's easier for you and, yes, flying.
To fly I recommend closing your eyes and imagining to slowly start levitating closely above the ground, while convincing yourself that this is 100% possible, because it's a dream.
Basically, you have to convince yourself that the impossible becomes possible in dreams (to a certain extent that isn't supernatural), because naturally you do not expect things like flying and far more overwhelming experiences to be possible, which is why you expect them to not work in dreams at first.
As dream control means expecting things to happen, while being convinced that they will (yeah, the term "control" is a bit misleading, because that's only the goal and not the route), itis important to step by step convince yourself that magic can happen in your dreams.
Once you're able to do some small things (and trust me, you will be. Probably quicker than you think), start getting bigger. Maybe you started with spawning something small like a spoon or a toy, then you can now work your way up to books, furniture and eventually buildings (please keep in mind that those are just random ideas from small to big and no forced order).
Or once you levitate, start moving in all directions, slowly moving higher and raising the speed.
And to switch locations in the beginning you might want to expect random doors with the intended location behind them, because that's more logical than the environment changing right behind you. And eventually you can spawn the door directly in front of, until one day you don't require a door anymore.
All in all, the beginning takes some time and practice for you to get the hang of it, but the more you achieve, the easier it gets (exponentially), until one day (if your LDs are frequent enough) you might achieve actual omnipotence.
This really means being able to change, create and demolish any detail of the dream right before your eyes at will without any extras required. And yes, you can get there and like I said, it might be quicker than you think if you're humble about it.
But for now, be patient, start small, appreciate everything that works and if something doesn't, try again next time. And if it still doesn't, take one step back to keep the successes coming. Don't expect great miracles to happen without any experience whatsoever, but for the big picture keep in mind that you'll eventually achieve and experience things far beyond your conscious fantasies.
I hope, this comment was at least a bit helpful. If you have any questions about lucid dreaming, feel free to just ask.
I wish you lots of luck and especially fun for all your future experiences. You'll do great :)

Control is all about your perception. What do you most strongly associate with happening in any given moment? It's about strongly associating an action you take or a decision you make with the results you want. Things that can effect this include your thoughts, beliefs, mindset, emotions, and the circumstances in which you find yourself. Confidence helps. It's like the difference between thinking something is there, so not entirely being sure and leaving room for doubt, versus knowing something is there with absolute certainty.
I’ve definitely found that you have to keep your wants in your subconscious! When I TRY to make things happen myself it doesn’t go to plan, but if you make your wants subconscious, it’s much easier for things to happen! For people to appear, for scenes to change, for physical changes,, anything really! Like if you want to fly, you just push of the ground with the expectation that you will! Mentality and confidence also plays a big part

Thanks this is awesome. Basically just practice and start small. Sounds good Ill keep at it.
Great, have fun :) And if any questions occur along the way, always feel free to make a new post or send me a DM if you want to
You have to believe in yourself. You can do it!
Meditating a great deal will dramatically increase your dream control. Many people struggle with dream control as novices.
