A few weeks ago, I experienced my first Lucid Dream. It was an amazing experience, but I wish I could have gotten more out of it.
I was in a cablecar at night, going over a strange city that I had never seen before. My mother and my brother were with me. I got an odd sensation, and looked down at my hands. I only had three fingers. Instantly, I knew I was dreaming. The second I realized it, everyone in the cablecar disapeared, and I was all alone. I got somewhat excited, but remembered that I needed to remain calm. I focused I trying to do something very simple: stand up. I couldn't. I felt like I was made out of lead, and I had no control whatsoever. I couldn't move my body at all. I struggled to move, and began to get frustrated. I felt myself start to wake up, and immediately tried dream-spinning. However, being unable to move, that didn't work.
A few nights later I had my second lucid dream. I was walking through the hallways at my school, and suddenly, for no reason at all, realized I was dreaming. Just as before, everyone disapeared and I was all alone in an empty hallway. Once again, I couldn't move.
The night after that, I had my final (so far) Lucid Dream. I was outside in the garden, looking at my house that had no roof. My friend Kelli was with me, but when I realized I was lucid, she disapeared. I tried to move, but couldn't. I then heard a voice saying 'don't try so hard, just relax.' I attempted to follow the instructions, but was still unable to move.
Is there something wrong with my subconcious? Do I just need practice? I really want to be able to control my dreams, but I am feeling a bit discouraged.
