Thread: so wat is this?

ok last nite i had a dream where i got out my bed and did 5
Reality checks and i realized i was dreaming. i tried to walk out my room when i heard this loud growling noise. it freaked me out so i jumped out my window instead. alot of other wierd things happened. but the thing is i had no control over really anything and it felt more like i was having a dream about being lucid than actually being lucid. so what was this?

LD'ing doesnt necessarily mean you will have control after all lucid just means aware. Some people in fact have extremely difficult times trying to influence control in their lucids keep at it and it will work out

Getting freaked out is not the best thing you can do in a LD. It just sets you up for unpleasant experiences all around.

Also, don't worry about the control bit. Lucidity != Control, but it can help you develop control. Keep that in mind.

Yeah my first couple lucid dreams I was aware that I was dreaming but still had no control over them, it was very frustrating to be aware but still follow the plot. With more practice and use of techniques to become more lucid I found more and more control come into my hands.

well my awarness level actually wasnt that high. i was only really aware at the beginning. so i wasnt sure if i was dreaming about being lucid or actually aware. cause i couldnt tell when i woke up.
your answers have been pretty helpful thanks.

Find the source of the growl.
