Thread: Wow...Just Wow

Finally I experienced a true lucid (I had performed a RC on another dream, but I couldn't move at all)!

My only problem is that in both of these instances, I still feel like I don't have complete control over my actions. It's almost like watching a movie in 1st person of me doing stuff. How can I gain full control?

Also, both of these have been DILDs, and I'm unsure if the same would happen if I WILDed or did another method.

thats how i felt last night like ure kind of underwater and hard to move and u are like watching ureself in 1st person its werid in ure lucid dreams did lik the walls and that float up and down like in waking life?

Yeah I know that, then you must imagine that the "film" you are know in slipped away from your eyelight. If all worked you are alone in the room you was and you can do what you want!

That's the problem. I know I'm asleep, but I feel like I'm not controlling my actions. I don't feel like I have control, like in real life, like in deciding to type this message, etc.

But, maybe WILDing would give me that control, since I am conciously entering the dream? I do not know, because I have had difficulties with WILDs and any other variations of WILD.

It most likely would. I say you should try it out.

But I don't think that having little control is entirely uncommon, I've heard of people that have been in a similar situation.

I had the same problem for the longest time, but recently I finally fixed it. Generally, the reason why you don't feel like you are in full control is that you are trying too hard, in a way. You're probably thinking 'walk' instead of just walking. Forcing yourself to walk, instead of just walking. It's really hard to explain, but once you figure it out, it's obvious. For instance, right now think as hard as you can 'WALK' while focusing on your legs moving. Then just move your legs. It probably didn't work the fist time (unless you misinterpreted me). Most people's first instinct is to 'think' the command to walk instead of just walking. Just walk.
