Can anyone help me? I'm sort of new to Lucid Dreaming. I'm 12. I first heard about Lucid Dreaming when I was about 10 and gave up when I was 11 mostly, because of frustration. I can't seem to control them no matter what.

The closest thing I ever had to one was me basically like floating around in a room of red carpet and a bunch of heads surrounding me of the same person and I had control but it last about 6 seconds. More of a nightmare than a lucid dream I think. Can anyone help me? I never kept a dream journal. I'm thinking about it. I usually just go to bed saying "tonight I will become lucid" or something else referring to it.

I was also at one time afraid of becoming lucid because I'm afraid that I would go insane or something else of that sort.
Anyways, thanks I hope someone replies
