Hello, I am a new lucid dreamer. I have tried the Wild technique but failed numerous amount of times.

Instead I have settled with the DILD technique which is a lot easier.

The thing is though when I realize I am in a Lucid dream and I try to fly I can't. I just can't.

I recently had a Lucid Dream this morning and when trying to fly, I didn't leave the ground.

I just kept jumping.... and fell back to the ground slower than you would in real life

There is another occasion where I actually felt pain in my dream. See, I tried pinching myself there to confirm whether I was dreaming or not and I actually felt a sharp pain on my arm inside the dream state.

And finally, a third problem is that my dreams aren't vivid and long like I want them to be. They are short and I can't really move around freely like I want to because the dream starts to fade back into reality and everything once I go and try to do something.

Anyone can shed some light on this.
