I'm having this problem with DILD.I've been attempting it for 2 weeks now. Like today and yesterday i had some amazingly vivid dreams, i can tell that the dream journal is paying off and i'm doing like more than 30 reality checks every day and not mindlessly too, i put real thought into every reality check i do. So in these dreams of mine i wasn't lucid, but i could control things with my mind, for example i thought about a meteor shower occuring and upon looking at the starts a meteor shower began. I also managed to set a building on fire. I remember thinking
something like "Now that appartment on the 7th floor is going to catch fire" And it did! Then i thought that about other apartments and floors and they all caught fire. I even created a bus stop the same way, everything i was thinking about came true, but it still didn't make me realise i was dreaming and at the same time i kinda knew i was... i really can't explain it, it's something i never felt before.After getting this feeling i performed a reality check and guess what, it didn't work. I tried pushing my fingers through my hand and they didn't go through, neither was breathing while holding my nose possible. It's the first time i perform a reality check in my dreams. The whole experience isn't even simular to what i read on these LD websites, is there something i'm doing wrong?
(Sorry if i have any typos or anything, i'm still learning english...)
