      First LD, but very confused...

      Last night, I had my first LD I think. However, when I remembered it this morning, it was weird. I am going to type out what I wrote in my DJ then explain myself:

      I don't remember how I got lucid. I just remember being aware and that's it. I was at some place and it was night. I remember doing multiple reality checks (this was while I was lucid, not before). I looked at my hands and they looked exactly normal unlike what most people say. I wasn't able to stick my finger through my hand. I then pinched my nose shut and tried to breathe, and it worked so I definitely knew I was dreaming. I rubbed my hands together, and my dream seem to get bright and clear. After that, I went outside (I don't remember how I got outside though, in fact, my dream seem to skip to different areas and I don't remember how I got to them) to try stuff. There was a guy who was yelling at me, and I don't remember why, so I just told him to fuck off and he disappeared. I then saw this guy standing around, so I tried to conjure up stuff. I was able to do this by saying "I wish for..." then pointing to the spot where I wanted it to appear. So, I said "I wish for pizza" and sure enough, a slice of pizza appeared in front of me and the guy was amazed. Then I was outside of my house during the day time, so I decided to fly. I was easily able to get off the ground and fly despite the fact that people say it is pretty hard. I looked down and people were cheering for me. I don't really remember most of the flying. I then saw my friend, and oddly, he is the only person who's face I actually remember (I don't remember who the other DCs were). I thought that we might be sharing a dream so I ask him "Dude, are you real? Like, are we sharing dreams?" and he simply responded "You aren't dreaming" I then lost my lucidity. After that, I had non-lucid sex.

      If you actually read all of that, you can hopefully help me with these questions.

      1. When I remembered the dream, I just didn't feel as if I consciously made these choices. Like, why the hell did I conjure up pizza?? This dream just felt like any other "go with the flow dream".

      2. I don't remember having the sense of touch. In fact, I never seem to be able to actually feel anything in my dreams. Why is this?

      If you can answer any of these questions, it would be great. If this is what all LDs are like, I am very disappointed. Was this just a low level LD? That doesn't seem to make sense to me because I seemed to have complete power, but I don't feel like I consciously did anything. Or was this just something along the lines of a "false" LD? I am just very confused right now. Oh and by the way, I don't have much memory of this dream. I remember doing other stuff, but I don't remember exactly what it was. Anyways, thanks.

      I have had those.
      Where you are aware that your dreaming, but you don't really have any control?
      I just try to think to myself, and make myself have full control over my dream.

      For the sense of touch thing, then that must have not been a fully lucid dream. My sense of touch works just find when I'm lucid.

      Yeah I had that before. It was also my frst lucid, though it was cool in a way I was REALLY disapointed when I woke up.

      Lucidity doesn't always go hand in hand with dream control. You can be lucid, and not able to control the dream at all, or non-lucid, but with heaps on control over everything.

      Still, either one of those is generally pretty good.

      I've had dreams where myself in the dream realized "Wait, this is a dream. I can become lucid." I never actually become lucid, I just then proceed to have a non-lucid dream about what my dream character does when he thinks he's lucid. I actually find these dreams very entertaining.

      1. Did you have any goals to accomplish for when you became lucid? You may be able to think of any number of things you'd want to do while dreaming right now, but it's much harder to come up with good ideas while dreaming. The best way around this is to decide on one or two things you want to do in a lucid dream while you're awake, and remind yourself after you do reality checks. Unless you're even less lucid than you were then, you'll almost certainly remember your goals, and try to accomplish them.

      2. Do you pay much attention to touch while awake? Most people ignore the sense of touch most of the time, and this makes it far less likely to show up in dreams. If you find you cannot feel touch in lucid dreams, even when you make an effort to feel touch, try this. While you're awake, take a few minutes, and just pay attention to the sense of touch. When you're done, think to yourself that your sense of touch will be just as present in your dreams as it was then. After doing this several times, your sense of touch should gradually become more present in your dreams.
