Help with control in lucid dreams?

[pab277]

Okay, so this isn't the first time i've achieved lucidity, but i seemed to have no no control whatsoever. I "woke" up during the lucid dream and noticed my lying body was hoovering over my bed, although i felt like i was "awake" since my surroundings were familiar, i clearly knew i was dreaming since hoovering isnt an everyday occurrence. Well, to confirm, i held my nose and could still breathe. So since i knew i was dreaming, i imagined myself getting out of my hoovering state and zooming off into another place, but it didnt work, i remained stable, just hoovering, i continuously tried to get out of this state by creating new surroundings, but they never appeared, so since i felt like giving up, i just woke myself up. any reason as to why i couldnt seem to have control over my dream or ways to have better control?

Seems like you had an OBE (out-of-body experience). Maybe look it up and see if that's what it was.

Did you close your eyes or tried to make something materialize in front of you? Most people find the latter hard. Try closing your eyes and makeing something happen.
