I had my first Lucid the other night. I was wondering if its possible to keep my self calm in a LD. The last time I had a LD It felt like I was awake in it. I got up out of bed and went to the kitchen. I looked out the window and I saw all of my neighbors cars up side down.. That's when I realized I was dreaming. I had a state of shock when I realized I was dreaming. I was real panicky. I had control in the Lucid but I lost control of it and I woke up. How can I keep the Lucid longer the next time I have one? What are some tips of calming down and not freaking out? I thought I was going crazy when I was in a LD. Any help would be appreciated.
