Brownies and no control over LD

**PixieStix16** · 06-23-2008 08:14 PM

So, I did a WBTB, and stayed up reading Exploring the world of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge and eating brownies and chocolate milk, I read somewhere chocolate can give you lucid dreams or more vivid ones

Anyway, I went back to sleep on another bed in my house, usually I have LDs in other people's beds for some reason (My first LD happened when I ate a brownie and fell asleep in my brother's bed)
I fell asleep thinking "I am dreaming" over and over
The dream started with me in my room and I'm like "Okay, I'm dreaming" though nothing unusual happened, I did the finger through palm and it worked so It was confirmed and I left my room, walking down the hallway to the living room I kept thinking I'd see Chris sitting on my couch. Unfortunately he wasn't. I tried the finger trick again, and this time it hurt, and I thought "Ouch, why would this hurt me in my dreams?" I did it again and it burned, so I stopped and unlocked the front door, walking outside to the driveway I kept thinking I'd see him there. But he wasn't there, this classmate of mine was sitting in a jeep with another guy in the passenger side. I walked up to him and gave him a peck on the lips

then I tried to push him out of the driver's seat, but he just wouldn't move. I didn't think about asking. I mean, It's my dream anyway lol.
Ugh, so I was annoyed at that point, I walked over to this blue house thinking that when I knocked on the door Chris would open it, but guess what, The stupid house didn't have a door -_-
I ran in the other direction, to my neighbors house, as I did, I jumped extremely high, It was amazing, but I didn't want to fly yet and my dream was fading so I focused on the grass as I landed on it. I walked up to the house and knocked on the door yelling "Chris!"
He answered it

But, He didn't look like himself, he nearly looked Asian, and I thought "WTF!" and I entered the house and tried to make him look normal, but I couldn't, I actually completely forgot what he looked like at that point in the dream. I shoved him away and left the house. I remember trying to steal the jeep again, but that didn't work cause he wouldn't move!!!
I appeared in my house, sitting in my chair playing a video game, I'm pretty sure I was losing my lucidity. The game was pretty much, your a character in a dream world that you make up and you can do whatever you want.

I was playing and my sister walks in and asks "What are you doing?" I glanced at her and back at the screen as my character made out with another chick, which I didn't find weird at that time, and I told her "Shut up, I'm dreaming" and she got angry and walked away.
lol, I continued playing the game, and sometimes I would actually be my character in the game, then it would switch and I was outside watching it.
I remember I was on a bridge, and there were other players, and this guy was walking by. He was gorgeous

I pretty much jumped on him and we made out.

Uh, that's when I woke up.
Any ideas why I couldn't control much in my dream? I was pretty much just controlling myself.

Thanks for reading all that btw, I know my posts can be really long

LOL, "Shut up, I'm dreaming", that's priceless.

Any strong feelings, especially frustration, can kill dream control. Also, if you have any doubt whatsoever if you can do it or not, will also impair your dream control. Same with trying too hard. Try to relax your mind if you have problems with controlling the dream. I don't know how much lucid experience you have, if you haven't had many lucid dreams, then you might only need some practice.

Good luck with your dream control.

Thanks for the help Luminous, I didn't know feelings could do that to dream control. I'll remember next time lol.
Yeah, this is my second LD that i've tried to get with techniques and whatnot.

Aaah, then don't be discouraged if you don't have control right away. You actually did quite well, with that huge leap and all.

Just keep practicing when you get the chance.

Hmm!? I ate a big ass brownie yesterday and managed to become lucid last night. so I ran down my hallway and thought "I'll close my eyes as I get to the wall and fly through it" but instead I closed my eyes and slammed right into the wall. so I just got up and walked downstairs instead. Iwonder if it was those wretched brownies!?

LOL, that made me laugh out loud, literally.
Next time, I'm just going to eat a chocolate bar or something XD
I'm blaming the brownies this time
