Only LD after night of drinking/attaining Lucidity

The only time I seem to LD is after a night of drinking, it is very odd. I think I should start drinking more

Anyway the last one I had I was in a big house with my partner and she wasn't happy with me about something. I went outside which caused me to RC, and a random lady appeared and helped me become lucid, it gave me a huge rush of euphoria down my body. I started trying to fly (that's is always the first thing that comes to my head once lucid) But I would only get as high as the house's roof, before I would come down. So I could like fence hop but not get right up into the sky.

Is this normal for a beginner LD'er? if so how do I try get further?

Also how do you change the setting you are in? i.e in one country and want to be in another.

Its funny I get a LD every time I dream

I think it has to do with you getting a lighter sleep while drunk

Yeah, that is completely normal. Flying may take a bit of practice. I would suggest jumping up into the air and then perform a swimming motion. You will start swimming in the air and this will help your mind get used to the idea/sensation of flying. There are several ways to change your setting. You could try to imagine the setting and then perform a dream spin (spin in a circle really fast for a few rotations). You could simply travel there by running, flying, driving, etc. You could also simply pretend as if you are in the right country. This will cause the environment to gradually change and form into the area of your choosing. You could try going through a doorway or melting through a mirror as well. There are a lot of ways to get change your environment, just experiment and find out what works for you. Good luck to you!
