      not being able to control where I move in my dreams.

      So as of late, NOt all my dreams, But Most of them.
      I'm not being able to control where I want to go.
      it could be just trying to get the right spot, sit on a chair,
      or trying to hide.
      Or when I'm flying, I'm flying at an angle. downwards. for example.
      I was trying to land in a tree and some invisible force or tide is directing me away form where I wan to go.
      No matter how I calculated my landing it would always drag my away from the top of the tree, only to land on the ground again.
      when I'm trying to go to my comrades who are in an adventure with me, The same thing happens.
      I'mm ree directed away from them. pulled dragged . like a gravitational pull. not anything actually grabbing me.
      My only guess is that, I am becoming dizzy and disorientated while sleeping.

      I am a kidney failure patent and I am on dialysis and have high blood pressure. I am never dizzy during my contentious states though.
      Although oneof the side effect of high blood pressure is feeling dizzy. and side effects of low blood pressure is dizzyness,
      Maybe my blood pressure gets really low as I go to sleep. I will keep my blood pressure cuff on my arm as I sleep. and if I have these dream again I will check to see what my blood pressure is at.

      Ive been known to see spirits and actually touch them and astro project. usually into the dark plane. I'm suppressing these abilities because I don't like it and it is by accident that it happens, and I don't like being attacked by dark spirits. I've been known to accidentally bring dark spirits from my dreams into the continuous realm. and have them try and pull my spirit out.
      so I know that these dreams I'm having of late are not anything else but me and my body and mental state.
      Anyways. those are stories I will post another time.

      I would like to hear someone's feedback on those dreams that I have been having.

      I think the 'can't X well enough' is a common problem.

      From what I've seen, problems of this nature are usually attributed to a lack of confidence, and for one reason or another, you might not feel like you control yourself in a lucid dream, which in turn means that you'll experience the set backs which you described. When you find yourself in those situations try to really think about how in control you actually are, just close your eyes and use your entire power of concentration to do the thing you want to do.

      Speaking of experience, the first time I passed through a wall in a dream was really kind of hard, and the wall felt thick and solid, but then, I closed my eyes and just tried to really consider the possibility that I could, in fact, do it; I pushed, and I ended up on tumbling on the other side.

      It might sound like a story out of Peter Pan, but belief is really the key in these things, and it might be hard at first, but good news is that after you've done it even once, it'll be significantly easier to do it, since now you know you can do it. Try to repeat to yourself "I'm in control" over and over while you find yourself in those situations. I very much doubt it has to do with your blood pressure, since I have had dreams like these myself, and I think I know what the force you're talking about feels like, so I wouldn't worry too much about that; regardless, if you think that might have a correlation, I think you should check it out, since our brains are weird like that.

      Thank you for that advice. I do believe what you said about lack of confidence is what it is. I think if I build up my confidence in reality it will get fixed.

      Just to clarify, I didn't necessarily mean the problem was one of lack of confidence in your awake life; it might very well be simply lack of confidence in your ability to control yourself within dreams.

      This. It seems confidence plays a major role inside a LD and the dreamworld, at least from my personal experience, is merciless when you hesitate or second guess yourself. Be unsure about your capacity to even jump 20cm and it is guaranteed you will have a hard time doing it... be confident to blow up a mountain and you do it instantly. Problem is, I believe, sometimes the insecurity is cleverly hidden on the subconscious and if it emerges even a tiny little bit beneath the confidence, that mountain will return to it's previous state in a second.

      Only thing left to do is to practice, practice, practice...

      Good luck!

      Just usually all the feelings we experience while dreaming come from our life experience. So if you feel unsafe in your dream, might be the same feeling in your life.
