First WILD ? and couldn't control anything

Hey everyone,

I’m new to this forum and LDing but I just had a weird LD experience last night. I woke up after about 4 hrs of sleep to take care of my girlfriend who was sick and then went back on my couch to pass out. I stared at my bike which is suspended from the ceiling in my room while I passed out. At some point, I woke up in that same view but had a felling something was different so I did an RC (plug my nose and breathe) and I was dreaming!

The problem is, after calming myself down, I was unable to look anywhere else in the room and could only stare towards my bike. I could turn my head but my eyes just stayed on that bike. I even got up and went over to my girlfriend who was asleep just by feeling objects with my hands, but I couldn’t look away or change the scenery.

Is this a good RC. Has this happened to anyone else and is there a way to gain control over that? Also, I felt like I was leaving my body because everything else was very real, but I can’t be sure because I couldn’t turn to look at it.

Thanks for the help

Yep the nose plugging Rc is a pretty good one but I’ve never had anything like this happen to me. I haven’t heard anything like this either, sorry.

Hi Ghyselij! Welcome to the forum! :wave:

Dream attention can be fascinated by objects. I remember a LD when I stared at a strange golden stone in a wall and just examine it during 2 minutes. Anyway, I think it’s quite rare and this problem won’t necessarily happen in your next dreams. :smile:

LD’s can look VERY real, you know! :wink:

Cool, thanks for the welcome and the replies.

I’m going to keep working at it and let you know how my next one works out :smile:

I had a somewhat similar experience when I took a nap during the day and I found myself lying on the floor of my home (I currently live in a dorm). I couldn’t move from my position and all I could do was stare at the ground. I was lucid but I couldn’t move or anything. The room started spinning around me and when I really tried hard to move I actually moved IRL and woke up.

That happens to me sometimes, or well, something similar to that, anyway. I once dreamt that I was on a hi-speed train in Finland, a “pendolino”. Sometimes I was on the roof, sometimes inside the train, and while I was inside I suddenly realized how surreal everything seemed, which lead me to realize that I was, in fact, dreaming. However, when I tried to control my dream and be off the train, I simply couldn’t, though I was constant of the fact that none of what happened in the dream was real. After a while, I got tired of trying and strayed back into ‘unconsciousness’.

A lot of time I im near my house fully lucid. That happen to me a lot.

I’ve had a ND in which I couldn’t remove my gaze at a certain wall in a building I’ve never been inside of IRL. There was nothing interesting about it either, just a plain white wall with a square window and a phone mounted on it. (On the window, not the wall… :eh: )

I’m not sure why this happens, I’ve tried researching similar happenings but could find nothing.

Hi guys!
I’m new here, so for my first post I wish you all the LD-s you can get. :wink:
I had my first LD some two weeks ago, after only three weeks of trying. It was trought WBTB, but only I woke up spontaniously early in the morning, eat somathing, and get back to bed. The dream was about me driving my car, when I suddenly recognise that it was not possible, because the car was involved in car accident few days before, and it was at repair at that time. I tryed to stay focused, and in control, but all that happened was me flying inside the car, and slowly loosing my lucidity, and than woke up. Deam! :wallhit:
Hopefully, next time it will be better!

Good luck !
