Why is it that every time I realize I'm dreaming I'm left gasping for air? One night it just came to me that I was dreaming because I was in the middle of a zombie invasion. So basically I was almost being over run by zombies but then by realizing it was a dream, I wanted to do the impossible. I tried using my jedi powers to incinerate all the zombies but after I closed and opened my eyes I was left gasping for air. I felt like Darth Vader after Luke removed his mask. This always happens and it's annoying and makes it hard to focus on the lucid dream.

If you don't know what I'm talking about here: "I tried using my jedi powers to incinerate all the zombies" Look up Star Wars Unleashed II on Youtube.

Things I have failed:
-Saying "clarity now" to make the dream clearer
-Teleporting by closing my eyes
-Talking
-Walking
