Hey all
I'm really bugged about my total lack of control in my recent lucid dreams.

Is it normal for newbies to have such a lack of dream control? Here's the excerpt from my Dream Journal.

Around 3:30am, I woke up and performed a FILD. Twice I became lucid, the first time a failure as I attempted to go into my dream body too soon. The second time, although successful, was short and nothing special. I was too busy trying to remain calm and stabilize the dream to see or do anything cool. In fact, I was attacked by a pair of hampster like rodents, and all I could do to get them off was to squish them with my foot. I had so little control of the dream that I could not even make their bodies disappear after I had killed them.
What a retarded ass lucid dream :/
