Dark Lucids

I am new here but I am not. I have been reading posts and tutorials from this site for about a month going on two months. Since that time I have had about 6 lucid dreams....i think. The first four I had was about three days after visiting this site. With those I would know I was dreaming and when I tried to take control of it I would wake up :mad: .The next one was about 4 weeks later and that one was weird. I had been dreaming for a while and the dream kept repeating within itself so i knew i was dreaming so i decided to come out of it so i tired to take control of it. The sad part is my plan worked instead of having control of the dream i woke up...oh well. Last night is the dream in have trouble with. I had this problem with the first four also. When I became lucidit was only for a few seconds and the dream seemed half formed, black, and fuzzy. The very first lucid dream I had To took control of and as I was slipping out I formed a woman in front of me. But for all intents and purposes she was useless because i was waking up. she was also just like a shadow in the form of a woman.
Now for the question( after all that talking). Are these things normal for a beginner. Should I only be lucid for a few seconds and not in a well formed dream? And when you form things in dreams (as a beginner) are they always dark and featureless?

The kind of thing you are describing is nornal for EVERYONE, not just beginners. I think everyone here experiences what you did. I know I do on a regular basis.

Don't sweat it, some dreams are just dark and fuzzy.

I was wondering about this also. It happens to me too. :) I guess it's perfectly normal.

i just posted a topic about black and white dreams in newbie section check it out but what your saying about waking up when you start to LD thats so annoying it happens to me all the time :mad:
