hey all, this is my first post. i'm new to LD, but i've done pretty good so far. i have a question for everybody.

on 3 different occasions, i have lost control of my LD because i was too excited. when this happened, everything would swirl either all black or all white. i am still lucid while everything is black, but i cannot reenter my dream, or wake myself up. what makes it worse is that i have these strange sensations in my arms. it feels like my arms are being raised above my head, and i am holding the position until my arms are sore.

does anybody else have weird bodily dysfunctions while LD'ing? i suppose i need more training to control myself.
