this isnt about lucid dreaming per se, but during many of my normal dreams i try to punch or kick, a person or thing, and something seemed to be stopping me, like trying to move my arm through water, and slowing down so much it never even makes contact.one time during a LD i tried so hard to punch a window, my arm accually moved and made me wake up... has this happened to any of you?

i am a bit of a n00b when itcomes to attaining lucidity,i have excellent dream recall, was i trying too hard to control my dream self? so hard that it affected my physical self?
