      Dreams refusing to stabilize?

      Hey DV, I have an issue that's been plaguing all of my LD's since my first WILD.

      Last week or so I had a WILD I woke up in my room but I knew I was dreaming. I proceeded to do a reality check, and it was confirmed. So I went to get up, thinking about what I was going to do, when all of a sudden I couldn't move. I struggled to but I just couldn't, then I felt the dream de-stabilize and I woke up.

      Today I took a nap and three separate times I had an LD, the first and second I believe were V-WILDs (I was imagining some scene of me doing something, and it started to feel realer and realer and eventually it took control and I was 'pulled in there'). Each one didn't last longer then a few seconds, and each one didn't stabilize despite me trying different things.

      The first simply ended without me even doing anything. I was in my history class (I was thinking about school) in front of a couple people I know, and when I was about to say something it went black and I woke up.

      The second time I was thinking about team fortress 2 before I fell asleep, imagining myself play a game. Next thing I know I'm crawling down an unfamiliar hallway when I believe I hear a sentry beeping around the corner. Then I felt the dream start to fade away and instead of fighting it, I tried to relax and concentrate on the dream, including look at my hand and the floor. Unfortunately that didn't work. My hand wasn't there on the floor where I felt it, either.

      The third time I don't even think was a WILD or anything but all I remember was standing in my room and having paralysis again. I did manage to bring my hand up in front of my face and I looked at it, concentrating on the detail in the hope it would anchor me into the dream. To my surprise (and I was very surprised, I truly believed it was working), everything went black and I woke up.

      Am I doing something wrong? Last night I only slept for 6 hours, so shouldn't I have plenty of REM time to experience an LD in?

      Could it possibly be my subconscious forcing me out? I met him in my first WILD, and I might have made him somewhat uncomfortable with the dreaming me (I hugged him, which he didn't seem ready for, because I was so thrilled I had WILD'd, plus I did a lot of dumb shit lol). Or am I thinking of him as too independent of me, when he really is me? I'm not sure what to think, because he seemed to have a mind of his own when I met him.

      It's probably excitement, because nothing can kick you out of a dream.

      I could see excitement ruining the first, but the last two I wasn't excited. I'm not sure what I was feeling then, maybe worry, I was just thinking about how I was going to stabilize it.

      It's all about belief, if you think the dream is going to black out it will, if you know its all under your control things will go better for you.

      It simply takes practice. I had a Lucid the other night where I just couldn't fly. I felt very heavy and felt like I was being pulled to the ground, like the power of gravity had increased. I was fully aware I was dreaming and that things like gravity are non-existent when I dream, but somehow it still gave me problems. Was just a weak night for me, but it shows that even those of us who've been at it a while still have problems from time to time. Give it practice and give it time, you'll get the hang of it
