first semi long lucid with control

[NrElAx]

So I had a wacky night sleep. So I went to bed late, at around 3 am so I was super tired when I went to sleep. So during the morning I had a false awakening that I got up at ike 6 am and my uncle was at our house and I told him that I have to go bad to bed because I went to sleep at 3 am. I never actually went back to bed because family memebers lept flooding into my house, but then I woke up. I fell back asleep and then had another FA but this time I knew right away but when I got up I felt drunk feeling. So I tried going through my wall, but the thickness of the wall was never ending. Then I just decided to just fall to the ground and I went through the ground and just kept fall and then woke up. So I don't exactly remember if I woke up after that point or if I went to the next lucid spot, but I remember that I said to myself that I would close my eyes and I'd be somewhere else and it actually worked. I've had other lucid but that never worked before. This part was amazing to me. I woke up it the ocean, right next to the shore. I like that because it was like inception but I wasn't laying in the water. I walked onto the sand and it was sunny out and I was at a beach that I've been too. I looked to my left and saw my dad, so I walked up to him. All the sudden the sun went down and the moon was up. I decided to try and make the sun come back up and it worked. But then like 5 seconds later the moon came back up and it was dark again. I remeber shit just started appearing on the beach and then after this point I think I lost lucidy or whatever the word is hahah. But that was my longest and best lucid yet because I had someone more control.

Moved to lucid experiences. Congrats on the lucid, it's good you're making progress! Be careful about closing your eyes though; unless you can really concentrate on what's around you and maintain awareness of the rest of the dream, you can end up waking up (at least you didn't).

I knew I was suppose to post this somewhere else. But yea, I usually close my eyes when I try to change the scene. I know it can be a bad idea, but I usually just end up with a FA. I always forget to spin for some reason because I'm in a rush.I just need to take my time.

Don't sweat it, it's easy to move threads! Regarding your teleporting, spinning is a slightly more reliable technique that you should try first in every dream (just don't spin too fast or you can end up destabilizing!) You can always open a door too - if you're outside, walk into a larger building and then open another door from inside it. In my first lucids, I was often in a rush too. It took me a few tries to really stop and think about stabilizing, but it got better with practice.
