no control at all

Ok well hey I've had three lucid dreams in total, for the 1st i had about 5 mins or so of control and then woke up. the other two I've been like "hey holly sh!7 I'm dreaming! wow I can do anything" *hey look something shiney* *forgets hes dreaming*.

I just can't seem to concentrate on the fact I'm dreaming nor control it all all, any ideas?
I've had two lucid dreams this month xD

thanks again, Ducky
P.S. sorry if this is the same as another thread just im rushing to bed because I have exams tomorrow and I only have a few mins on the pc :?

Feel your body in real life and feel your body inside the dream. When I had my first lucid dream (about 30 mins) I could feel myself lying down and in the dream at the same time.

I don't know about "feeling your body"; not your real body anyway--that always just inhibits my dream-body.

Five minutes of control is not bad at all to start with.

I think having a goal in mind could help. Incubate the goal while you are awake, as well as doing your RC's. If you have something in mind that you want to accomplish, you will be less likely to become distracted and lose lucidity.

that would prob help.. currently im more in the whole state of mind as ill figure out what to do when i get there, so when i do go lucid its then like and now what, *gets distracted*

thanks guys, ill do memorise something fun to do...
ill hunt around the forums for suggestions xD
thaks again, Dreamducky

They say some of that lack of control is from the awe of realizing you're lucid and all. So, once you teach yourself to stay calm enough to think almost 100% clearly, then you can do whatever with little fears of losing lucidity... I think it's really all about focus and staying in touch with realizing things with enough details and oddities and such... [Doesn't feel like much help]

Thanks
Any comments at all are help.
But you're I do excited when I go lucid but then i get distracted right after, I go in there all eager to LD then I do and have no plans and just loose track of it.
I guess I needa get over the whole "omfg im dreaming AHHHHHH" stage XD

thankies!

Yeah make a list of things you want to do,
that helps me heaps, and focus on a particular one
that you want to do for the next dream
good luck
