Dreams wont allow me to become lucid?!

I have for two days now become lucid during naps. Basically i do a WILD in the middle of the day and i go straight into the dream without realizing it because my dream is of me laying there trying to fall asleep and eventually i think to myself, “i wonder if I’m dreaming” and check and sure enough im dreaming. The first time, i did this i got out of bed and turned on the light and then went to check my phone to see if time was constant or not and then i start feeling this crushing weight pushing down on my shoulders and the room starts to grow (or i start to shrink, I’m not sure) and as soon as i go close enough to the ground i got shoved down hard and closed my eyes because i was about to hit my head and then woke up. Second time i was trying to close my eyes and sleep and eventually i was like “i wonder if im sleeping” and checked and i was dreaming. I tried to get up and open my eyes but i kept getting forced back down and my eyes shut and then i laid down and decided to try and stabalize the dream and so i started rubbing the pillow case and relaxing and when i felt better i tried to get up and open my eyes and i got shoved back down and i woke up.

This is so extremely irritating, especially when i sit there and even stabalize the dream. Honestly what it feels like is my mind doesn’t want me to be lucid and so when i do become lucid i get kicked out.
Please. What do i do?

First off, your SC does not actively care whether you are lucid enough. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you’re fighting against yourself. Any issues tend to stem from the conscious mind having doubt or sending wrong signals.

That being said, it’s not unusual for WILD’s to be unstable. Aside from rubbing your hands or doing exercise to anchor yourself, yelling out commands can be very helpful. Yell something like “my eyes will open now,” or “I will stop shrinking now!” Use affirmative commands with a clear intention and this might help you out.

Also, don’t worry too much. Learning to get control over your dreams does take some practice. You’ll get there in the end :content:

ok cool. thanks :smile:
