Ok so here is my problem. I have become lucid in a dream 4 times since learning about lucid dreaming about 3 weeks ago.

So whats the problem? you may ask.. Well its that those 4 times I became lucid have only lasted about 10 seconds total. Every time I realise I'm dreaming something very strange happens and I wake up after only seconds.

My 4 lucid experiences:

The 1st time I realised I was dreaming is when I was falling. I yelled STOP! My body jolted hard 3 times then I woke up, it kinda felt like my waking body had jolted to.

The 2nd time I realised I was dreaming I was in a car and I couldt read the manual. As soon as I said to myself I am dreaming, this very strange song started that went.. I am dreaming...... dreaming, dreaming, dreaming and all these weird symbols came up in my vision and then I woke up.

The 3rd time I bacome lucid I was playing basketball. As soon as I told myself I am dreaming This giant face filled my vision and was moving towards me like it was going to kiss me. Just before it got to me I woke up.

The 4th time I bacome lucid I was in my room lying on my bed watching a rowing machine row by itself. When I realised I was dreaming I decided to do a reality check. As I reached up to pinch my nose to see if I could still exhale my bed tilted forward and my head got very heavy and I lost my balance then I woke up.

Is there anything I can do to stop this from happaning? I dont feel like I get to excited when i realise I am dreaming but I do have a kind of rushed feeling when I become lucid. I dont know why these strange things happen when I become lucid but I feel like I have no control over it.

Any tips or comments will be appriciated.

Cheers, Justin.
