Hi
This is my first post here on dreamviews. I have been a member here a while but i have not been able to log in until yesterday, so finally i can be a part of this forum

I have tried LDing for half a year, but most of the time it haven't been very active. Now when i have my holiday I've started trying again. The technique I'm pracitsing is WILD and my first question is: Is it so good for a newbie to start with such a hard technique? I find it really difficult.

Since I started pracising LDing I've got two of them but none on real purpuse. The first I had a regular dream where I was flying over my city and realised I was dreaming. Then I had a false awakening in a dark room, but I knew I was dreaming all the time so I got up and wanted to find a window so I could continue to fly. I found one but it was blocked, but I thought that since this is a dream I would be able to get through, so I ran towards it but right when I hit it I woke up.

The other one was when I was trying to WILD but fell asleep unconsciously. I dreamed several nonlucid dreams and then I dreamed that I was in my bed, trying to WILD when my brother came in. I told him about my dreams and he said that he hade dreamt the same things. I got really excited and started to get up from the bed when I felt that I was about to wake up. And if I'm about to wake up, I can't already be awake, I must be dreaming! I managed to continue sleeping, and once again I had a FA in a dark room. In fact the whole house was dark, but i found the exit and before I opened the door I imagined it would be daylight and said "let there be light!", hehe. It was dusk so it worked 50 % I walked around in the garden and saw a bird with a strange sound that frightened me for a second. Then I woke up.

I have three questions about my lucid dreams:
1. Why do I instantly after I've become aware that I'm dreaming, waking up in a dark room? It's not my room, just a random dark room.
2. In the second dream, my body felt ultralight. That was kinda annoying because i fell several times and it was hard to get up and I couldn't move especially fast. How do I prevent that?
3. I wanted to make my dream more real so I rubbed my hands, but I didn't notice much difference. I could see details like the leaves on the trees, but if I remember it correctly I didn't think very clear.

And a last question, what does "post a poll" mean?

Hope my post wasn't too long
