Hello there Dreamviewers

Hello, I go by Tysho here, I've always liked the idea of Lucid Dreaming but at first it was daunting and a bit scary I just came here to get answers and research the subject.

I had one quick question, when I first started trying this it took forever to be able to be able to dream lucid and when I did I couldn't control much at first and it made me feel a bit helpless, like I was a prisoner in my own dreams, would that be considered normal?

by the way, how are you?

You'll ahve to excuse my odd typing, I'm new to the whole talking about this and I didn't really know what to say.

Completely normal. Its not unusual to not have control when first becoming lucid. Lucidity and Dream Control are independent concepts. It is completely possible, and usual, for one to exist without the other.
