Thread: How come i wasn't able to control my self in my lucid dream?

Last night i had two LD's. One was a WBTB/ WILD and the second was right after DEILD. When i entered the first lucid dream it was cool. I didnt see any images but i could feel that i wasn't on my bed anymore. Like what happened was i closed my eyes and i felt that i physically still on the bed. I call that Stage 1. In Stage two is where i was no where. It was just black but i could not feel the bed any more. I heard a "click" sound as if a door had just been unlocked or something and then i was in my Dream. In my dream i was on my bed. Infact the only things that were different was that i couldnt see a door, There were polka dot curtains by my closet and the lighting was Green. So when i knew i was dreaming i didn't get too excited. So i tried to get out of bed and i couldn;t! Like every time i tried to get up it was like a force was pushing me down. At first i thought. oh this may be the affects of sleep paralysis, just getting twisted into my dream or something. I tried getting up and i did but i was like shaking. I tried to look at my hand ( i knew i was already dreaming but i wanted to see how it looked like). And i couldnt. I had trouble raising my hand aswell. And then the dream ended. It went back to the stages but backwards. First there was black. I was still in the "dream state" then there was more black (inbetween the dream and actually life.. There was like nothing and this lasted for about 3 seconds) Then there was black but i could sense that i was finnaly back in bed. So looked at the cieling and shook my hands a bit. Then try to enter the dream again. The same stages that i mentioned in the begining happened. I also heard the click again. This time i could walk around but that was pretty much what i was limited to.. I knew that i couldnt waste any time and i had to look for a DC so that i could ask them to tell me to do a RC the next time i'm dreaming ( i heard this worked). Well anyways i told some one but i forgot who i told. Sooner or later the dream ended ( going through the stages again) . and i went back to bed.. Im guessing that about both dreams lasted a total of 5 minutes but i really couldn't tell the time.


How come i couldnt get up the first time and stuff? and when you enter a LD do you always go through hypnogic imagery/ Paralysis cause i dont think i did. I just felt as if my body had gone through different stages...
