My very first LD (But bit strange)

[qzole]

Hi all, this is my first time making a topic on dreamviews Let's get straight in the middle. It was a DILD. I was in my room looking at the computer, it was night, and no lamps on.My classmates sent me a picture, It was a pic from her house from the inside, whe sun was shining in a roof window, but somehow it was very dark, so I wanted to ask her to send me a brighter version. As I looked at the keyboard it was grey from the picture my classmate sent as the monitor was lightning it. And then noticed that everything looked greyish. I thought it looks like a dream, and that's when it snapped that I was dreaming! I did an RC, pinched my nose and I could breath, but as I wanted to look around everything went blurry, and started to fade a way (not slowly, but in an instant), so I tried to spin, it didn't work first, but at around the 3rd try I felt that the whole world was spining around me, as I was lying still in my bed. Then I "waked up" Instantly knew it was a false awakening, I don't even remember if I did another RC or not. Well, I got out of my bed, it was dark, I wanted to go to a nice detailed scene, and that was the problem, I started spinning, but I was concentrating on that I wanted details, and couldn't come up with a scene (Idiot me! I had a nice grassy field redy for this, why didn't I thought about that...arghh) and ended in spining until I woke up (for real, I did RCs) Ugh, sry it's a bit long Well, the starnge thing is that I could only remember it as hazy as a normal dream, didn't really felt, heard, smelled, touched anything, only saw some blurry images I wanted to ask that you remember to a LD as a normal dream, or do you REALLY feel like you are living it through, Thx!

The level of realism appears to vary. In most of my lucid dreams, everything looks pretty much just like it would in real life, but I've had a few in which everything looked blurry or distorted, as if I were wearing someone else's eyeglasses. A problem I occasionally run into in lucid dreams is where it's night, and it's too dark to see anything, and none of the lights work. I once solved that problem by deciding to go outside--I found a streetlight and noticed that the ground appeared to be lit pretty well under it, so I decided to walk toward it. I don't remember what happened next, but I think it gradually started getting lighter outside (although I didn't really notice that while I was in the dream), and I succesfully attempted to fly. Anyway, the light levels returned to normal for the rest of that dream (I was mainly trying to learn how flying worked, so I was no longer thinking about how dark it was earlier). I only got to try that once, though, so I don't know if it would work for me every time it's too dark in a lucid dream. My guess is maybe if you try to do things in the dream, even if everything is too dark or blurry, maybe things will return to normal once your mind is no longer focused on the fact that it's dark or blurry. Of course, that is assuming that the dream isn't about to end anyway. I haven't had enough experience to know this for sure, though, so it's just a guess.
