Lucid but couldn't control

**every987** · 06-04-2011 11:21 PM

Last night during my dream I was completely lucid and aware what was happening. Once lucid I decided to control my dream characters like I normally do. The dream character was I boy I knew from school and when I tried to control him it didn't work. Instead of doing what I decided would happen he came up to me and yelled at me. Why did this happen and any tips on how to prevent it from happening again?

Dont know why but alot of people tell about things like that. Just keep on practicing and being determind, dont let anyone steal YOUR dream!

hello every987 , and congrats on ur lucid dream.

well i think and i prefer when u get lucid dream , you should just stand there for a abit and allow the rush to pass...collect your thoughts for a few moments and control yourself.
if u were excited or afraid and so that could be the problem too.

keep practicing controlling ur self and be positive of ur self that u won't fail ur LD.

The fact that this was a DC of someone you knew may have been the deciding factor. Even though you knew it was a dream a part of you did not believe you could control a real person and because you tried they would react in anger. Just a thought!

@rebelseven that was probably what happened. Normally I have no problem controlling my DC's. Since the person I know doesn't really obey anyone my mind must of thought I couldn't. Thanks for the explanation.
