Thread: What am I doing wrong?

Im just going to sum all of this up really quick. So far I have had three lucid dreams. Here is what happened:

My first one I tried to fly, but then everything started to fade to black and I continued along with the regular dream.

My second one I decided to spin around really fast, and I thought if I shouted someone's name they would appear. I stopped spinning and they weren't there so I thought that I wasn't really dreaming. Then I woke up and my head was POUNDING for some reason.. (I assume all the spinning)

My third one last night I knew I was dreaming on three instances.. And what I mean by that was every time I realised I was I tried to fly, and when it didn't work I came to the conclusion I wasn't dreaming. I don't really remember the first two (they're in my dream journal allllll the way downstairs) But on my last attempt I tried to fly up and over this thing, and I kinda hovered and got over it but landed on my stomach on the other side. It didn't hurt at all so I thought I was still dreaming, but that quickly changed because I said "if I'm still dreaming, I would have flown.."

So that sucks doesn't it. Anyone have any pointers? Am I trying too much too fast? Are there any easy things I could try just to get the hang of it. What did you do on your first lucid dreams?

Thanks so much
