Hello, I made a new account to post this, I had my test lucid dream this morning and have a few questions. The basic was a nightmare I was running from a killer I got to my nieghbors house, I was about to knock on the door but then I remembered that every nightmare in the past I would try and no one answered and I got killed, and because its recurring in dreams. I had a burst of awareness, very strange, I started trying to control It as I read about it online, I failed the image faded away I started running, I couldent believe it I pushed my infer through my thumb DIDENT work. I ran very fast, and objects started to randomly appear, I woke up. How could I do this again,and how to calmly control and make characters appear?? Thanks

Hello there! I should start by saying you've already done better than most, including me, by not waking up as soon as you become lucid. Well done! It's not a problem that you couldn't control it. Control will come with time, and you were probably still frightened by the person chasing you. The best tip I can give is to not panic. Remember that this person is part of your imagination. It can't harm you. It can only cause fear. You can banish him. It might help to try to talk to the person, find out what he represents. Good luck for your next lucid!
