Thread: Help with control in lucid dreams?

Okay, so this isn't the first time i've achieved lucidity, but i seemed to have no no control whatsoever. I "woke" up during the lucid dream and noticed my lying body was hoovering over my bed, although i felt like i was "awake" since my surroundings were familiar, i clearly knew i was dreaming since hoovering isnt an everyday occurrence. Well, to confirm, i held my nose and could still breathe. So since i knew i was dreaming, i imagined myself getting out of my hoovering state and zooming off into another place, but it didnt work, i remained stable, just hoovering, i continuously tried to get out of this state by creating new surroundings, but they never appeared, so since i felt like giving up, i just woke myself up. any reason as to why i couldnt seem to have control over my dream or ways to have better control?
