I NEED HELP!!! Please!!!

After less than a week of dream recall (I had increaced from 1/month to about 2/night) I had my first lucid dream! It was hypnosis induced, but once I realized I was dreaming (I did a reality check by looking at a stop sign, and when I looked back, it said Coke Cola), iI became lucid. I remember being excited, but I was trying to remain calm and thought I was doing a pretty good job of it. But the moment I became lucid, it was like I was in a dark room, 20 feet away from a 8 inch television that was out of focus. I had decided to wake up, as I didn't want this to be my first LD. What should I do? Is this normal? WILL THEY ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS??? Thanks, -BeeT

Sure, just sit down and watch the TV. Maybe if you watched it more often, they'd buy a better one that was in focus.

Jk, no they won't all be like that, lol. Just don't think too much about being lucid. Realizing it is enough.

This is confusing me. Your LD started in some room and you wake yourself up because you don't like it? That's absolutely wrong! You can change the location, you can change what happens, you can do it all, just as you can wake yourself up you can change the location to a sandstorm in a desert or whatever you like.

Become, the TV! :O
Well, try stuff.

Next time you become lucid, just call on the lucid fairy...
THERE IS A LUCID FAIRY, BELIVE ME!

Anyway, just do it, she knows everything, and how to do anything in ya dream.
( Um LD guide? same thing. )

So hold, am I right in saying that ionce you're in a lucid dream you have total control over what happens?

No. Sometimes you have control, depending on how awake your conscious mind is. I've had lucids where I had zero control. I only realized hey, this is a dream, but didn't think to try to change anything about it. My last lucid was a nightmare, I was trying to fight this dessicated man-thing on a stage coach being pulled by a nightmare-horse. I didn't even think to change the scene or teleport away.

In most of my dreams, I'm dumb as a rock and ignore obvious dreamsigns. In some lucids, I'm the same way.

Lucid only means that you realize you're dreaming. Whether you have control or not is a different matter. It's rare, but I've heard of some non-lucid dreams where the person had control. Usually though, if your mind is awake enogh to control what happens, you're awake enough to realize you're dreaming. But it's not always the case.

But if you have enough control to wake yourself up, you should also manage to make something out of yoru LD.

You would think. I've had a spectrum of control in LD's, from none to being able to summon people and use supernatural powers. Usually I do have at least some control. Rarely I have none, but sometimes, in the middle, I'm just stupid and don't think, "Well since I know this is a dream, I can do this or that."
