Well, to introduce I've been lurking the forums every now and then for a good two years. (Usually like every 6 months I'd suddenly get into LDing, read up on it for the entire day, try it out, fail, and not care for another six months). For this reason I decided to join the Forums, to sorta "anchor" (hehe) the idea of LDing in my head.
Anyway here I am. So, hello everyone. =]
Now to explain my situation and later my questions.
So, last night I had my first LD that actually lasted more than a second. But, I didn't do it in any conventional method. Didn't WILD that's for sure. Other thing is that it wasn't a DILD because as soon as the dream started I KNEW I was dreaming but nothing out of the ordinary was happening I just knew. Which leads me to believe I DEILD which makes sense since I was trying to do so but I don't remember waking up from and dream and then entering this one.
But onto the main topic at hand, my dream.
I'm standing by myself awake in my room and the first thing I do is open the door and walk out into the hall. As soon as I step outside my room I realized I was lucid dreaming. But besides it being slightly darker and my house looking a tad bigger nothing should have indicated to me that I was dreaming. Next once I realized this, I didn't get all "OMG LD!111!!!" as I've read many new guys do but I acted very nonchalant about it. (Odd but good I guess?) But the thing that bothered me most is that once I realized I was LDing, my movement decreased exponetially and I had to legit, FIGHT to move. (Almost like walking through water). Next my vision started to blur so I started to spin to stabalize my dream (mistake). I found myself back in my room again with normal movement. I decided I'd like a change of scenery so I was about to walk out the door once more with the intent of landing somewhere else. But, it didn't happen. (I woke up)
Now for my questions:
Backgroud - I've had this "walking through water feeling" of severe drowsiness, and heaviness a few times. First, time was when I woke in my bed, (had the same "I'm dreaming" realization happen but for no apparent reason) but I just couldn't for the life of me move. Next was in a dream where I was in my bed and I had my headphones in my ears. I heard my dad comming into the room so as to not get into trouble I decided to quickly pull them out. It SO much effort to move my hands and pull. The only reason I managed was fear of punishment from my dad. Of course when I woke up I found my headphones in my drawer, no where near me.
So. Number 1:
What's with this intense feeling of being unable to move? Has anyone had this happen to them? What can I do to combat it?
2. Spinning to focus my dream was a bad idea right? What can I do besides that? I think it was rubbing hands together? Can't remember.
3. When I want to change scenery or add more people to my dream scenario what should I do?
If anyone has read this, thank you so much. I feel it was a bit long to read.
I appreciate the help, and hope to get good feedback.
Hope I can make some beastly friends here~
