Thread: Problems leaving house?

It's not that all my LDs have been in my house but I find that when it begins in my house (usually WILD) I can't either not leave or if I try I wake up. It's quite annoying and I was wondering if you have any tips.

Last night during a WILD I had to break my window. However, as soon as I did I could feel myself waking up and, most bizarrely, feel my body in my bed as I was in the last few seconds of the LD.

Any help?

Thank you

This is a tip that was given to me when I found I couldn't get out of bed when I became lucid from FAs: use mind control.

It may sound kinda complicated, IDK, but imagine being outside. Pick a place outside that you would like to be and mentally put yourself there. IDK, if this is a good tip or not, but it has worked for me when I've found that I was trapped in my bed. Have the willpower to motivate yourself to go to where you want to be.

Teleport. Spin/jump/close eyes/etc. while thinking clearly of a different place. It doesn't have to be far away...could be the front lawn. You may have a sort of mental prison thing going...IDK, maybe you expect to wake up when you leave your house, and so you do. Once you bust out a few times, though, it may go away...IDK. Best solution I can come up with.

Maybe next time it happens you should ask yourself why it is happening, i imagine it would bring you to the realisation that nothing is stopping you leaving except you.

I've had a lot of FAs and always found I couldn't leave the room. On my first deliberate LD, a solution occured without me trying; I wonder if it will work for others?

I simply went through walls backwards. This kinda makes sense: if you're going forwards you are too worried about your face - your eyes being damaged, your nose and mouth being covered and smothering you.

Let me know if you try it.

Just got to keep at it.

AND OMG i never thought of the going backwards tip. Wow that does sound amazing, im going to try it next time im lucid. WOO THANKS haha

I have a "glassdoor" so I always just push myself through the glass, strange but I have always been able to do that, but when I try to open up doors by the handle, it doesn't work

Ive really never had any problems with going through walls, but ever since ive been trying to gain complete control, i cant do it

spinning always works...

Hey I had that same problem!! i lucid dream just like you i think... like when i realize i'm dreaming i find myself in my room... then i try to go out the window... like thru the window and crash against it!! what i did was think: 'i know i can go thru windows and doors and anything when i'm in this state'... so i tried again slowly, hands first and went out the window, i felt myself trespassing the glass, and puff i was out...

in that moment just remember you are capable of doing anything in that state and try again... expect it Will happen and so it does...
