Now, I am starting to become angry with myself. I was dreaming last night and my friend, Joe, died of a drug overdose. then i went to school, and Ray, another friend of mine, started a fight with me. But when i tried to punch him several times in the face, i could not move normally. it was as if i was fighting underwater. but ray had no trouble at all striking me in the face. when i saw my blood, which was not a normal red, i said this is a dream, but as soon as it came it was gone. his fist came back with another strike, which made me lose focus and become frightened for my life. does anyone have any suggestions at all that would make me remember that i am dreaming even if anything drastic happens? this is the third near-complete lucid dream that i have had, and i am becoming very frustrated. i am going to try a WILD tonight, and i am convinced that I WILL become lucid. if i fail, i will try the WILD technique, hopefully, until it works. any advise on staying focused would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you all.
