I'm a newbie, in need of answers.
Hey all, thanks for taking the time out to read this.
It's 4 23 AM and I'm writing this after my 3rd successful lucid dream, because I am troubled. I am noticing a pattern which is severely putting me off the process.
Every time I have managed to slip into a LD, I have noticed the same thing occurs and slowly begins to get entirely out of my control. I will be in my room in the dark and hear a knock on the front door which sends me into a slight panic so I focus on attempting to hear birds singing (this would comfort me greatly). Without fail the harder I try to get out of this uneasy route my LD has taken the worse it gets. I not only hear knocking, but someone opening our two front doors and eventually knocking on my bedroom window. This is enough to bring me to consciousness with a nice serving of heart palpitations.
If someone could explain perhaps why this is happening, or how I could better gain control over my dreams I would be most appreciative.
Thank you.
