Thread: First lucid was pretty good... But...

Last night I had my first REAL lucid dream that I could pretty much control. I woke up last night to a stuffed nose so I wrote my previous dream in my dream journal and went to the bathroom to snort back my decongestant stuff and went back to bed. I only had 1 hour left till I had to get up but I went to sleep anyway. I "woke" up in the bathroom and looked outside and thought "It wasn't that dark when I was last here..." and I looked at my hands and my pinky and ring finger seemed to connect. Then I tried to flick off and on a light switch. Now after this I was in complete control of my actions but I couldn't make things happen (Ex: people appear, teleport, fly). It was as though I was in waking life inside a dream. Even after I had a false awakening and realized that, too, was a dream... I still couldn't really make stuff happen. Will I be able to become lucid easier now? Will I gain more power over my dreams?

P.S: There are a lot of details throughout the dream I left out because it's irrelevant to my questions, but if you wish to know them I could tell you.

You already have the power to make things happen, you just have to do it.

To help you a little bit:
During the day take some time and close your eyes. Then imagine yourself and then imagine yourself doing something you would like to do in a dream. Imagine how you would do it and then repeat it in your dream.

As long as it works in your imagination it also works in your dreams

Congratulations on the LD!

Control comes with experience and confidance. You should be able to LD easier since now you know what it is like.

It's been 3 days now and not one Lucid .

Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep trying.
