Couldn't control lucid

**TheLucidDragon** · 07-16-2014 10:53 AM

Last night's dream I became lucid twice, the first time I did it I ended up having a false awakening, then did another RC and became lucid again. As soon as I did my second RC that night, I started falling into nowhere. I tried concentrating on teleporting on somewhere or landing on ground below me, but I just kept falling, eventually I realized I had no control whatsoever and I was losing lucidity and couldn't focus on getting it back so I forced myself to wake up, which was a little disappointing.

I wrote a more detailed DJ entry on it, I just don't know where I went wrong.

I guess you need just to practice. It will get better over time with more attempts.
Try to convince your mind that everything around in dream is just inside you. Basically your mind itself.

You need to get use to being lucid, I do not think you've done anything wrong. However if you were not calm or were feel excited during the falling that could've suggested why you had no dream control. Overall if this is your 1st or few LD's things like that will happen where you're not sure what to do and inevitably you'll wake up or decide to wake up. That's probably how people do that with nightmares, they aren't use to lucidity and don't know what to do to stop the problem so they automactically decide to wake up. All you need is to learn to stay calm while Lucid.

From experience i know that dream control, quality and consciousness which i have in dream varies
You shouldn't worry much about it

If it wasn't just random dream with poor ability to control it then still, practice and going throught lots of lucid dreams should do the job

Hey TheLucidDragon, its all in your expectation, you gotta know it will work. Thats the secret to dream control, but of course there are other factors such as what ViIe mentioned. You have to know that you have that control, after all, its your dreams, it would only make sense to be able to do what you want in them.
