Why don't I get excited when I'm in a lucid dream?

[FuzzyPotatoes]

Ive had 3 lucid dreams, and neither of them I got excited in them or overwhelmed? and I kind of think it's also effecting the amazement and surprise of the lucid dream aswell and also I've noticed I don't feel much in lucid dreams, like I can't make out the feeling of the wall or coldness if I'm outside in my lucid dream? Why don't I feel feelings in my lucid dreams? It really sucks...

I would not worry about not getting excited. Getting excited is no good for staying lucid, so it is good. As far as feeling things goes, I have two thoughts. First, you are doing good just to get lucid, and practice improves every part of lucid dreaming. The normal way it happens is that your first LDs will be mostly visual, then they start including other senses. Touch is next, but only if it is intense, like getting hit or falling. Before long sound and subtle touch will be possible. Just be patient. Second, sleep phases have diffenent effects on what the dream is like. In some sleep phases touch is much more vivid and in some visual is the strongest. Even when you have a few decades behind you, you will experience a lot of variation.

In my first LD I could see, hear, and feel everything. That's not normal? I can't speak for everyone. You are just lucky, I guess. Mine were almost just visual, like watching a movie, for the first half dozen or so.

I have only had two lucid dreams, in my first one I could hear, see, speak, and feel things excellently(didn't use smell, not that I didn't have it, and touch I hardly used), but didn't have the "joy rush" and the dream ended fairly quickly due to me closing my eyes. My second lucid I walked through walls, but It had a third person-ish look on it, as if I was watching a movie, yet I could still control what was going on.

Have you tried touching something and you could not feel it? For me, I didn't really feel things because the thought of touching didn't come to me. I did read about stabilizing by touching items, but when I accidentally touched something, I didn't really feel it. I only feel things, when I practice it during day. I pretend I just got lucid and I touch my arms, my clothes, nearby wall, the ground... And this way I also remembered better what to do once lucid. EDIT Same thing with voice commands, like "lights". In lucids, I was just whispering, untill practiced during day shouting them out loud.

For my first LD i was very excited. I was breathing through plugged nose. It was amazing feel. But after like 3 seconds i woke up in my bed...
