Ive found its common for me to sort of zoom out of my body in lucid dreams and view it as if it were a game but whenever i zoom out, who im viewing is never really me and i basically lose all control i had and just become a remote viewer. This also leads to waking up immediately after. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and/or if anyone can give me advice on how to prevent/fix this when it happens again
I had this problem for awhile as well. I don't know if this is your problem, but when I first started and would do any type of control, I would imagine it, and all mg imagining takes place third person. I learned that I had to not picture what was going on, just do it. That is hard to describe. So, for example, if I wanted to teleport, I would see myself step through a wall or something to teleport, and my dream would destabilize and crash. I needed to keep control of my body the whole time. Just EXPECT that I would teleport.
Sorry, I find this terribly difficult to describe, and in not sure if that's your situation
I've had this problem a long time ago. I think I finally solved it back in the late 80's when I used to video tape friends weddings as a hobby. I hope this next part makes senseQuote:

Now this is where I hope you can understand: I found over time if I opened the other eye too, I could train my brain to switch between one eye and the other eye instantly. You were still seeing with both eyes/perspectives but you you ignoring most of what the other eye saw. Kind of like focusing in on one conversation at a loud party and ignoring the other background noise/conversations.
I found out I could do the same thing in the dream. I could be in my body looking out and but also see the scene from outside my body at the same time. I was seeing both at the same time but would focus on one perspective at a time. This gave me control of my body and at the same time I could see it everything from a distance as well.
I hope it makes sense it is hard concept to explain.
