Thread: Losing my balance when lucid

I had experiences where I'm lucid and lose balance. But it's because of my vision. I had some dream experience where I’m not good at walking or running in dreams. Next time in those dreams try floating around if you can’t fly. A good floating technique is you know on TV where a person is meditating and is floating? I do that to start floating. If you can summon objects try summon a wheelchair or a flying carpet. A summoning technique I use is I pull a wand out of my pocket and make people or things appear with that. Also when you disappeared into the darkness did you ‘wake up’ in bed? Sometimes when I lose control of a lucid dream I have a false awakening and end up in bed thinking I’m awake.

I have experienced this problem in two different ways:


Often times when I fly I often fly off in a different direction than I want to go. I remember it with walking too I think.

Also many times in other dreams, I just fall over and wake up.


Also many times if your dream is about to naturally end things go haywire for some reason. I remember specifically one time:


I was in the car with my friend, driving somewhere, it was dark. Next thing I know he jammed on the gas or something because the car started FLYING down the road which I transitioned out of the dream.


I believe in your case the lost balanced doesn't make you wake up, but when your naturally ready to wake up your balance and other things go haywire.


Focus on increasing the stableness and control/lucidity of your dreams right away once you become lucid, and if it starts to happen again immediatly calm your mind and reiterate that you are King in this realm, and try out a technique like hand rubbing or something of that sort-

Thanks for the replies
Good advices from both of you, justme and Alprazolam. Next time I get lucid I'll calm down first, demand some control and really expect to be the King of the dream. And if that doesn't work I'll try justme's idea of floating. Sounds like more fun than walking anyways I'm not any good at summoning things yet, so I'll put that idea on hold.

Sometimes I do have false awakenings after falling and disappearing into darkness. But then I'm somehow trapped in bed. Can't move a muscle. Things look very normal and realistic. I sometimes wonder if it's SP. But either my body is strange (once it looked burned, like dry and brown) or people who should not even be in the house, walk around in my room. So i figure it's still a dream.

Spread your legs out into a deeper stance so that you have better balance. Then focus on something to stabilize yourself.
