Hi, I'm a newbie dreamer. I learned how to lucid dream on my own (well with the help of a very close friend of mine, who I hope posts on these forums). In any case, I can usually have one LD a night, or every other night at worst. Further I have managed a decent amount of control over them. However, I notice (and have read on this page) that any time you get excited it becomes harder to stay in the dream. If this is so, how can you have too much fun, or get too scared, or feel any emotion greatly at all. I have no problems staying lucid, even if I start to lose it. More importantly though is that I cannot seem to accomplish anything really worth trying for. No sex, no flying, and no heroic feets. And another thing...What about music? Can anyone else turn music on, I've tried and tried. Anyways, sorry to ramble; I just feel like there is so much potential in my dreams. I've been known to be wrong though...rarely.
