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 |

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 |

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 dreams of unspeakable joy—of restored friendships; of revived embraces; of love which said it had never died; of faces that had vanished long ago, yet said with smiling lips that they knew nothing of the grave; of pardons implored, and granted with such bursting floods of love, that I was almost glad I had sinned—thus I passed through this wondrous twilight. —George MacDonald

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." |
