Struggling to breathe after becoming lucid with DILD
This morning I had two Dream Induced Lucid Dreams, after WBTB and MILD techniques used.
My lucidity is always cut short due to my inexperience and my resulting excitement from becoming Lucid.
However, this morning I had two consecutive Lucid Dreams (with a 10 min waking period in between). Both of these were DILD and i became Lucid using Hand RC's.
I have been practicing trying to stabilise the lucid dream, so in both dreams i spent a minute or so looking at my hands, and then at the surroundings as well as rubbing my hands to achieve increased stability.
I managed to get the dreams more stable than i ever have before. BUT, i faced a new problem. Both times i began to struggle to breathe, which made me focus on my physical bodies breath, and as a result causing the dream to end.
It is the case that my Nose was quite blocked. But is this the sole cause, or is it slightly psychological?!
Has anyone had a similar experience of not being able to catch their breath whilst in a lucid dream? It almost felt in one dream like i could suffocate.
