Thread: Some help

I'm glad you clarified the RC fail. Maybe I have it wrong, but fail would mean that it didn't do what it was suppose to do. In this case, allow you to breathe through pinched nose.
When you are RCing during day, you believe that it will work - you are able to breathe, because you are sure (at least for a moment), that you are in a dream.

So when in a dream, you also believe you in a dream and RC will also work, as expected (able to breathe).

For the hard to move part - have you tried yelling "I have the power", or "I'm walking to the kitchen [window...], "I'm light as a feather". If you say it convincingly, it will work. Good luck.

Well it's not like I feel heavy, my limbs feel normally weighted, it's just like... you know when you are in sleep paralysis and you can feel your limbs, but can't move them? It's like that, but I can still use some of my limps, and have limited control of the paralyzed ones. One thing I noticed, I forgot to ground myself into the dream (rubbing your hands together) so maybe that's the problem?

If you are in a dream, you are not subject to waking world gravity rules. If you are, that's most likely, because you think you are. You have to convince yourself, that your dream body has no mass and you can do anything you wish. Shouting commands works surprisingly well.

It's also possible, that you were feeling both bodies at the same time. It can happen, if you are in the light part of the sleep, or you are just falling asleep or waking up and you are partially aware of your sleeping body that's in REM attonia. Stabilize (ground yourself), give yourself a minute to stop feeling imput from your sleeping body and shout commands.

BTW, you will probably not experience this next time, so just keep doing what you doing. It will get better.

Thanks, you're real helpful ^~^. I really wish I wrote this dream in my DJ, but I've been so busy with school for the past few months, Ive stopped writing in it. I'm still very busy with school, but after this recent accidental LD, I decided to pick it up again.

Even if all you have time for is a few keywords, write them down. Repeat the dream in your head and use words to do that. That way you have a better chance to remember it and write the whole dream down later. By repeating it with words you transfer it to your non-dream memory.
