First lucid dream, with question

Quest for Lucidity
1

So I had my first LD last night :smile: Getting there was pretty easy when I decided to use the DEILD (dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=36281)

I woke up and was completely still with my eyes closed and SP started fast, it was my first SP and it wasn´t that scary and it was over in like 10 seconds.

So SP ended, I did a RC and it worked, I got out of bed tried to turn on the lights but that didn´t work. Also it was really hard to get out of bed, it felt like I was really heavy :eh: Now I told myself when I open this door infront of person X would stand there. I opened the door and it was nothing there :meh: Right now I didn´t know what to do so I woke up.

So my question is, how exactly do you control your dreams? From what I´ve read it sounds easy just imagine things and there they are?

Thanks.

Well, one trick that I have really learned is that instead of just saying things, you really have to know they are going to be there.

Plus, it doesn’t always work, just try again and I am sure it will work in your next dream

this sounded like instead of LD’ing you were astral projecting.

Maybe thats why no one was there :meh:
