It's been a while since I've been on here, even though I was still new when I was actively posting.. haha, but I have returned, yay.

I had my first lucid dream the other night ! It was nothing like I thought it would be.. the reality checks didn't do anything for me. I was dreaming, and all the sudden, I had an epiphany.. I was dreaming ! It was really hard not to get so excited that I'd wake up, but I remembered someone had said to spin to keep yourself from waking up, so I was like, okay, spin. Apparently controlling what you do is a lot harder than first assessed. It was more or less as if I was in a movie and the camera was spinning around my head, but I couldn't see very well. Then I was like, okay, I'm going to walk over there. I cant remember where I was, I couldn't see very well. So, I think to myself, walk over there. And nothing happens. Haha, doing what you want to is a little harder than I thought. Then I was like, maybe if I try to change locations. I'm not sure if *I* did it, or my dream just changed settings, but I ended up in the middle of the sky, just standing there. I was like, whoaaa, so all the sudden I was back where I started. Then I either cant remember, or I woke up.

But I do have some questions. Is there anyway that I could see better in my dreams ? It always seems like I'm groggy in them because I can hardly see anything. And also, is there any way, besides to just keep trying, that would help with actually controlling my own actions in my dreams ?

Thanks guys
