Dream Control FAIL

[sheogorath]

last night I had a LD (yay) and it was very real. I, however could not control ANYTHING. It was strange, everything was exactly like reality (except that there were 2 of the same guy which is what made me lucid in the first place). First, my idea was to make my picture frame turn into a tv and watch porn with it.... I know, but I was trying to start small. That only kind of worked, there where a lot of hot Asian chicks walking around in swimsuits. I was like allright, good enough I guess, so since i didn't want to wake up from sex, I wanted to summon a monster to attack people, but nothing happened, I pictured a monster right beside me, and when i opened my eyes, nothing. So i thought screw this, I am going to go to the void and try some SD crap. So i spun around in circles and pictured an empty white space, but nothing happened. I tried again and only ended up in my room. My last thought was to punch my wall and make it break down, so I tried and it only hurt my hand ( well more like felt weird, It didn't move right and stuff) So i got frustrated and woke myself up. Why did this happen to me? I was solid that I was dreaming, and controlled everything like I had in a past dream where I walked on water.

our brains are used to the real life, in the real life u cant create tvs or control everything around you, so in your dream the brains makes you think that all around you is real, but you know it isnt , you must "tell" your brain that it is a dream and you CAN control it, then you will control it. usually saying out loud: this is my dream and im in control of it, works. but that is normal ,it took me almost 15 LDs for me to create a simple energy ball and shoot it out.

Yeah, well sometimes LDs just don't seems to work. At first you fail at some simple task and you get frustrated and loose confidence and BAM you can't do anything special in that dream.
