Thread: Loss of control. Fully lucid, but felt strange.

So, I am going to summarize a lot of this dream cause it was really long.

Basically, I woke up at 5 laid around a little while until I was half awake half asleep. Felt vibrations, went with them and stayed focused until the stopped. Got up, in a confused state. Reality checked by holding my nose and trying to breath through it. I realized I was lucid and a couple more reality checks until I was pretty stable. I was in my old house and it was nighttime. I wanted the sun to come out so I looked out a window and waved my hand over it expecting it to changed to daylight(like I have done before) but nothing happened. I then saw a light switch by the window and told myself that flipping it would make the daylight come. Did that and nothing happened. I recalled my objectives to fly and see a weird creature so I headed outside. Everything was dark, but I jumped off the porch and flew about eight feet forward before coming back to the ground. I stood and tried every method I could think of in my front yard and nothing happened. I then turned my attention to making a creature appear, I turned around and tried to summon it, but it also failed. I then started to get worried that since I wasn't the one controlling this dream, I didn't want to find out who was out in the dark so I went back inside. My whole family was in there and I spent the rest of the dream trying and failing to levitate and trying to tell them we were dreaming, since there was nothing else to do. It became morning in the dream and me and my brother went outside to "adventure". We were about to leave my house when a huge pond in my back yard caught my attention. I started walking towards in and was going to dive in when I saw something moving in the water. I watched and laughed in amazement as a huge person in a rat suit emerged from the water carrying a crate of bananas and phased into my house. I was just standing there saying "What the hell is wrong with this dream." Then I started to feel like I wasn't in my dream at all. I've read about mutual LDing and the research on it isn't too convincing, so I don't know what to think. But I have three other siblings who sleep pretty close to me so, who knows haha. I just have no explanation for me losing my ability to do anything, when I have had LDs with less lucidity and more control. I feel ripped off! lol
