This is what all of my first Lucids were like... From the sound of it-WILD, starting where you last fell asleep, scary presence- this might have actually been astral projection

Anyways, passive control is the easiest form of control. Everything in a LD takes your attention to exist, so think about things that remind you of that place you want to go, search for that place and let your mind take that desire and connect the dots.

Example: I want to see my friend, there's some shoes that look like his, I bet he's around the corner. Then let your mind direct your attention into where you want it to go.

If you can't control anything in your dream and all of the scenery looks exactly the same as it does in real life then your probably astral projecting
