"There have also been times when I came on what seemed to be a force field, not allowing me to move beyond a certain point. It happened I think because I feared it might happen, the idea came up and became real even tho I didn't want it to."

"I have on rare occasions, maybe 2 or three times out of a few hundred, been caught in some invisible current and been unable to move where I wanted."

This is similar to what I am experiencing. I am so close to controlling the dream. I can even control for a few seconds but then lose it. The "force field" blocks me. Thanks for the advice. I'll try the WILD method during the day and see if it works better.
