Can't control or really see anything...

So I’ve had 2 dreams the past week that I become aware that I am dreaming. As soon as I realize it, I say “I am dreaming” As soon as that happens, everything becomes really hard to see. Its very hard to describe, its like everything turns into a pencil sketch and I become very detached from the dream. Both times I tried rubbing my hands together, which didn’t help. Any advice?

I understand how you feel, I just had my second LD last night, and as soon as I found out, everything started getting fuzzy. I tried yelling, nothing happened. I tried rubbing my hands together, it slowed it down, but wasn’t the best. Then I started spinning on my axis, and everything started clearing up. So I would try yelling or spinning next time thats happening.

using verbal commands is always effective
also touching dreamworld objects and surfaces will help to ground you into the dream :content:
