Longest LD so far....but a little scary!

The other night I had my longest LD so far. It was only about 10 seconds, but that compares to about 1-3 seconds for each of my other LDs.
This one though was a strange combination of scary..but not.

In a previous vivid but non-lucid sequence, I had watched a cloud formation build up and form a tornado underneath (I seem to dream about tornadoes quite frequently, but they are often small like dust devils).
Then that scene faded and I then re-formed the dream outside the same building, and as I looked up I could see that the tornado was behind the building because there was a fast-moving, swirling dust storm approaching. I immediately became lucid (knew I was dreaming), but as I tried to get back to the safety of the building I was aware that I was being held back and could not move. within a second or two I was pushed around so I now faced down the garden at the back of the building. It had a high wall all around and tall trees to the left. I then had a super-vivid sensation of being lifted up and propelled forward, like flying, but a sensation of extreme acceleration. As I rose and accelerated I was sort of terrified by what was happening, because it was like it was for real, and as a real experience I knew the likely outcome was not good! But I was also calm because I knew it was a dream. Just before I slammed into the wall at the end of the garden, it also seemed like I was going to fly just over it, but the dream ended and I woke up.

That was certainly some ride!

I just hope I can have some control next time, and a little longer. Any tips about how to do that when a tornado is distracting you?

For me personally, I would have snapped my fingers and yelled "CONTROL!", because my mind needs a static reference point. Snapping my fingers, for ME, is like the magic thing. I could snap, say "truck", and a truck would appear.

Maybe try finding something your mind is comfortable with, and go from there.

Congrats on the longer LD :) If it was me, I think I would have made the tornado go away so I could concentrate better. Unless of course you were enjoying it... Hard to describe the method I've used for that but it was similar to what was said in one of the DV podcasts about just being in total denial about the problem you're having. Oh, the front of my car is smashed up? No it isn't.

On second though though, experiencing the violence of mother nature in a lucid dream would be pretty darn cool.
