First lucid, that was some nonsense

I hade like 4 FA's and kept having to RC. I kept trying to jump into and image (I thought it would take me to my dream like in a WILD supposedly). Didn't work. I kept trying to touch stuff but couldn't feel anything. My movements were all I could control and I could only feel my breath for my nose pinch RC.

I don't see the point of your post, was it a question? I'll try to answer it. You had a weak LD, the quality was bad, that happens to everyone. Either deal with it and accept that some lucids will be so, or give up.

Geezeeee kid, I was confused as to why I couldn't feel anything besides my breath, I wasn't complaining

seems like you are trying to go to fast to soon. you are going against the grain of your dream's normal process and "plot".. next time.. try to go with the flow more. doing things like feeling your breath.. (in my opinion) would make me wake up faster, because then i'd feel my breath and my physical body. usually i don't do much more of a RC than look around and say to myself.. "ok no plays double-court volleyball in rollerblades.. this is totally a dream!" or something to that extent. hope this helps. but Matte87 is right.. we all have strange restrained and "weak" lucid's.. it is at least a sign of your progression!

Here is a hint, Lakey, -> ? <- those things let us know when you are asking something. Otherwise, yes, it sounds like a complaint.

Ok, as others have stated, it was a weak LD. You said you couldn't feel anything, next time try focusing your attention on what you think you should feel. Sort of "push" the thought and will it to happen, which should hopefully make it work a bit. An easy one to do is rub your hands together. It is easy to imagine the heat, feel the friction. Sometimes it can't be helped and you will just have a blurry LD, but usually you can save it by focusing your attention. I can't really give much advice other than, try to use your senses to the fullest to clear up a dream. Also, you can try shouting it out, pressing a button or slider labeled "dream clarity" if you can find/make one. Touch rough surfaces. You said you could feel your breath, use that, focus on the feeling, see if you can get a little more clarity out of it.

Hope this helps at least a little.
