Thread: Awareness = Difficulty?

Hi everyone

Last night I had my first WILD successfully. I woke up in my bed (False Awakening) and did not know that I was dreaming.
I got up because the sun was shining and I went out to meet my friends. When they all stood around me I suddenly thought "Hell I have to do a reality check".
Dunny why.
Anyway I pinched my nose and i could still breath.

I have to mention that this is only my second lucid dream, but there were a lot differences towards the first one (DILD) I had.

1. I was MUCH more aware, everything was clear just like in reality, I did a reality check like all two minutes, because it just felt so real.
2. It was so much longer than any dream I can remember, I thought inside the dream "amazing how long this is"
3. I had sex two times in the dream and against every post about this topic I did NOT wake up
4. And thats what the post was actually about, I found it a lot more difficult to use any overpowering abililties.
I could fly as always in my dreams, but it was definitly more difficult and I did not succeed in it when I wanted to show it to my friends!
I tried telekinese and Kamehameha (xD) but I did not suceed at one of them, I felt like trying it in waking life .

Have those difficulties something to do with the bigger awareness and reality of the lucid dream?
Why may I not be able to fly when I want to show it to friends?
Why did Sex not wake me up?
Are there some tricks to improve overpowering abilities in more realistic dreams?

Thanks for answers and comments
