      Unhappy 2 DILD's Very "Broken"

      Last night I had my second DILD, and was very messed up like my first. I will explain them both, and I would like some help on how to get better control. Please read the whole thing because I really need help.

      The first DILD, I was in my bathroom. I suddenly became aware that I was dreaming, and tried several RC's that failed. I still knew that I was dreaming, and eventually I leaped forward and floated in the air for a few seconds (I wasn't trying to fly, just check the gravity). Then I attempted the leap again because it just gave an amazing feeling. That is when everything went crazy. I unwillingly closed and opened my dream eyes several times. My brain was trying to do everything that I thought of trying in a lucid dream. The odd part was I didn't actually try to do the things, but just imagined them. For example, my dream eyes closed at one point and imagined myself flying, the exact same way as you would imagine it in real life. I didn't leap forward and try to fly, just thought about it. I kept thinking different things, then stopped and thought about how real felt. The problem is, it didn't feel real, I just thought it to myself! Then my mind started to think about different things real rapidly again. It was as if my dream became my thoughts, without any senses. Everything felt choppy and claustrophobic. My dream ended in the bathroom, right where I started.

      The second DILD started in an odd way, but had the same results as the first. I was in a back of a car (in the dream), and decided to WILD (not knowing I was already asleep). It happened almost immediately, and I fell into a second dream lucidly. I was excited, because I had never WILDed before. This may be a reason for what happened, but I am not sure. This dream I was in my bedroom. Basically, the same thing happened as the first. Instead of performing actions, I only thought about doing them. Things were choppy and my senses randomly failed and worked again over and over like in the first DILD. The dream felt, as the title says, broken. This time, I even felt disconnected from the dream and my dream body. I tried dream spinning, but as I said, I just thought about doing it. Right before the dream ended, it finally felt like I did spin my dream body, but I couldn't see since my senses were going haywire. I then had a FA where I woke up in my room, even though I started the "false WILD" in a car.

      Has anybody else experienced this, or know how to stop this and get more control? I would be very grateful for any help!

      Lucid Goals:
      1. Successfully WILD
      2. Increase lucidity, clarity, control, etc.
      3. Change locations/teleport

      Also, sorry if any of this is hard to understand, because it is hard to describe the events. It was very difficult to tell what was happening!

      Hmmm my advice probably wont be very helpful, but I'd say what happened might have been because you were pretty excited and had lots of things you had planned on trying in a lucid dream. So your subconscious might have partly taken over as you tried to achieve those goals. Maybe if you just started with basic control in lucids, then work up, one goal at a time, depending on what kind of control you have in LDs already, of course. My only other advice would be to try and stay focused on one objective at a time in an LD, cos its easy to get distracted. Maybe next time when trying to fly concentrate more on the visual part instead of the feeling? That could sound impossible since you said you unwillingly closed your eyes, but gradually it'll become easier. Have a good one fellow LDer.

      I think Vice of FIre offered some good advice, next time stay calm, focus on one goal, focus on the visual and realize you don't need to open or close your eyes in dream.

      Other than that think or verbally say 'Clarity' or 'Control' while in the LD to whip your dream scene into some semblance of control.

      Lastly, practice, practice, practice.

      Maybe you just need to work on your focus? It sounds like you're overloading a bit. Vex and ViceOfFire had some good advice, focus on calming yourself down and simply obeserving your surroundings. Gain a deeper understanding of the phisical aspects of the dreamscape that you find yourself in. This will probably have the effect of clarifying the dream, as well as preventing your mind from going haywire. Good luck in future LDs. Practice is probably the best thing
