To get away from where I am in dreams.

I don't remember many details, except it was dark (not the first time it was dark in a pre-lucid dream) and I was feeling anxious for some reason. It's not the first time I've become lucid after first feeling anxious. If I don't like a situation and want to escape it, I want it to be a dream. So I did an RC, the fingers on my right hand came out 6 and that's how I knew.

Then, when I realized I was lucid, I was so eager to use it before waking up that I started telling myself: Fly! Fly over the city!

But reading some dream control tutorials which I've done this morning I now know that's not the best way to start flying. You have to jump and envision wings and that sort of thing. Just telling yourself won't do.

Needless to say I woke up shortly after, having flied nowhere.

It's like fear/panic is one of my dream signs now. I rarely RC when I'm content in a dream, because when I'm content why would I want to escape?

Hopefully this is all normal 'though and that there is still hope for me. I've been dream recalling a lot the past week, even small insignificant dreams and dreams that I feel uncomfortable recalling because of people they feature. From now on it is all going in my journal. And I have to make my RC more routine, and less sporadic. Not do it just when I see something that could be a dream sign, but also when things are perfectly normal. Every time I open the fridge I should ask myself if I'm dreaming because I do often look in the fridge in my dreams anyway.

And everytime I'm on youtube, because I youtube a lot in my dreams too. Aren't I interesting.
