1st Real Lucid But Wierd Stuff Hppened

this morning i had my first real lucid dreams. 4 in succession (i would fade out of one, concentrate on the hypnagogic img. and enter another one). This first one i was on a street and there were planes in the air doing inverted back flips. I said hell no!!! and did a reality check (the nose pinching one). I knew i was lucid and i decided to make an apple. It didnt work. Thats when wierd shit started to happen. I could only keep my dream eyes open about 1/3 of the way and my legs and arms didnt work (like i had done an EXTREMELY hard workout). This continued for the next 3 dreams. Any tips, i had no control.

You think this is going to help you get an answer? :P

What you experienced is called "Dream re-entry", but since you did it 4 times (which is pretty amazing, that's what you wanna hear, right?! XD) it's called Chaining (chaining is waking up from a dream, reentering it, waking up, reentering and so forth).

You could do a lot of reality checks, spin around, shout "Increase Lucidity!", or just rub your hands/stones and focus on the feel of the texture. This should increase your lucidity. Good luck.

Hey, that's great! It may not seem like much, but just getting over that hump of having your first lucid dream is a huge step. My only tip would be to keep at it. Now that you know what it feels like to become aware in your dream, it should be easier to do the next time -- though you still can't necessarily expect success every time you try.

And as for control, that should become easier as you have more LDs also. The key is to truly believe that you are in complete control and can make anything happen. If you have any doubts when trying to do something (like create an apple), then it likely won't happen. Also, it's usually easier to "find" something rather than just make it appear. For instance, say (and really believe it) "When I turn around, there will be an apple on the table in front of me". That will usually work better than just holding out your hand and expecting an apple to appear in it.

Tweak, whats up with the attitude. I'm not bragging because its not that big of an accomplishment. Anyway, i couldnt spin around because i couldnt move, and closing my eyes knocked me out of two of the dreams.

What's up with the attitude? Dude relax man, I wasn't implying you shouldn't be bragging that much =/

And I was syaing it WAS pretty much of an achievement, because chaining a dream 4 times is pretty much. Don't take everything I say offensive, I was complimenting you ;)

Well thank you man. Since you're a potheat you should go see my thread in Attaining Lucidity about how i chained all the dreams. I just didnt let myself fade and i focused on whatever images of the dream were left.
OHHHH. now i know what you were talking about. I NEVER at any point woke up, my vision just went black and i felt like i was loosing conciousness, but then i pulled myself back. But i never opened my eyes.

Congratulations, some times LD's don't have that much control but atleast you had one.
