Lucid, but little control

[sabre]

I had my second lucid dream last night. I just realized I was dreaming, without any reality checks. Anyways, once I became lucid, I tried to make myself stronger but I couldnt. I tried thinking " make myself stronger" and saying it, but nothing would work. Was this just a low level lucidity dream? Any comments, please reply.

The RCs may give you the confidence you need to have more control or at least a higher level of lucidity.

Believe in yourself, I had been having a number of lucids where I had no powers or anything, andin my latest lucid I talked with a perosn who wa trying to trick me into doing something to get my lucid dream powers, so I got mad and blew her head up, and I had full powers. Just have confidence that you can do it, know that everyone else that has lucids has powers so you can have them too

hey, thanks for the advice. I guess i shudda done rc's. Having more than one ld will give me a little more confidence. Thanks for your replies!

and when all else fails do something which should work anyway, in a recent dream some kid was trying to crush me, I tried making him disappear by willing him away but it didnt work so I used force lightening on the sucker. worked like a charm, but for some reaosn left me tired, I was at low lucidity

A couple of days ago I had a similar experience. In my dream, I had gone to my fiance's house and in the middle of the dream, I realised that I was lucid. Anyway, I kept trying to change the dreamscene and I couldn't do it. I kept running up to people in my dream, and screaming "It's my dream! I get to do what I want!' I just couldn't do it. Anyway, I ended up waking up. It was a bit frustrating, but I know I just need to have more confidence, instead of acting like such a child. [/i]

Yeah, my rc's don't always work either. To counter this, I don't use a standard rc. I like to look at my environment and try doing something in it. Once I toppled a car, other times I push my hand through things. Or you could try doing more than one rc and see if that helps. Good Luck!
