Thread: Almost Lucid, but I didn't seem to have more control.

Well while dreaming, I was playing a game I've been wanting to play. Then all
of sudden I realized I didn't have the game yet. So this was the first time I did
my RC.

I went to the light to see if it work, it did seem to work well. But then I looked
at my hand, it was the same text I wrote, but the second time I looked at it,
it was a whole bunch of different letters unscrambled. So after that, I started to
walk around and become aware my surroundings.

So then I was kind of excited, and I tried to summon a hot girl to make out
with lol. But nothing appeared. But after that part, my mind just went off
to a regular dream.

So either I was in a rush or I'm just not sure if I was really lucid. Any advice?

It's possible to lose lucidity. It sounded like you were lucid, but the question that determines that is: did you know that you were dreaming?

Especially in your first lucid dreams, it's not always that easy to control them. Don't worry, that comes with practice.

Yeah, one thing many people have problems remembering is, Being Lucid doesn't guarantee control. Control is something that takes practice, especially summoning people. Start with simple things, such as jumping higher, making small objects appear, levitate objects, and then move onto bigger things so that your mind can get use to the adjustment of actively altering the dream scene at will.

Did you actually know you were dreaming? Your description mentions you questioning your dream but doesn't say whether you knew you were dreaming or not.

If you didn't know then you weren't lucid however if you did know then you were lucid.

Also control and lucidity don't necessarilly come together, they usually do but not always.

Yes, I knew I was dreaming. I just did one of my RC's in my dream and it was different. I started to walk around my room and everything felt a little real.

So the question I'm really asking is, how to have more power over things, summoning
people and staying Lucid for a longer period of time?

yes you was lucid( luicid is just when you know you were dreaming)

Congrats on becoming Lucid.
Next time don't get all excited, it'll help sustain your LD.

I've had this happen to me, most people do.
If you find something that works tell me plz.
