The Mark of Athena seems to disagree with you: "Piper," Percy said. "I can help." He knelt next to her and touched Jason's forehead. Water gushed from Jason's mouth."

If Percy can take out water and control water from Jason's lungs with a mere touch, would't it be logical that he can control it from the inside, which he already did, by taking out that water from his lungs, which is inside his body?

And if you still aren't convinced, here's another example from The House of Hades: "Oh, good, Percy thought. More water. Percy imagined her nose and throat filling with her own tears. Akhlys gagged. "I-" The tide of venom reached her feet, sizzling like droplets on a hot iron. She wailed and stumbled back..."Stop..." [Annabeth] pleaded, her voice hoarse."

Please, don't ignore the facts here. What this says is Percy is drowning Akhlys from her own tears, and is choking her from her own tears...which is liquid from her body? And that is while Percy is still controlling the poison, and poison vapour?

So, he can do all of this in a single moment?: Control Akhlys' tears and drown her, control the lake of poison, and controlling the poison vapour, and you think Percy needs tons of concentration to only control liquids from beings?

And here is another example of Percy controlling liquid that isn't water: "An entire phalanx of Cyclopes charged forward, knocking smaller monsters out of the way. Annabeth figured she was about to die. "It had to be Cyclopes," she grumbled. Percy gave a battle cry. At the Cyclopes' feet, a red vein in the ground burst open, spraying the monsters with liquid fire from the Phlegethon."

So, he can control salt water, fresh water, icy/frozen water, poison, liquid fire from the Phlegethon, Styx water, which is a type of water that he supposedly can't control, where it the example is:"I yelled, and the River Styx exploded. A black tidal wave smashed into the Roman legionaries. Spears and shields flew everywhere. Roman zombies began to dissolve, smoke coming off their bronze helmets."

Also, about the Nico's dream, did you know that even if Percy is asleep, he has combat skills, and environmental awareness so good, that he did this to Nico in The Last Olympian?: "A foot the size of Yankee stadium was about to smash me when a voice hissed, "Percy!" I lunged out blindly. Before I was fully awake, I had Nico pinned to the floor of the cell with the edge of my sword at his throat."
