OK first of all Id like to say hi, i have been looking at these forums for a while but this is my first post.
I relatively new to lucid dreaming (I had my 3rd today) which is why I posted this here but feel free to move it.
Anyway about an hour ago I had a false awakening. I did a reality check (holding my nose and breathing), and at first I didnt notice I had been able to breathe (my nose was blocked up in the dream) but after doing it again I realised I could and gained lucidity.
So I was lying in bed looking at the ceiling, noticing how clear everything was etc. I decided that now I could go and do stuff like fly but when I tried to move, my visuals were stuck on the picture of the ceiling. I could move my body and everything I just couldnt sit up to see anything else.
I did kind of manage it eventually and when I got up I tried to fly but I just found myself back in bed staring at the ceiling. This hasn’t happened in any of my other lucid dreams although they have been pretty low lucidity. I tried to change the dream to a different place but before I could try I was woken up.
Another thing I should mention is that my radio was on while this was happening and I could hear what the djs were talking about. I normally sleep through my radio anyway but I was just wondering if maybe that had an effect?
I would really apprectiate any help you could give me because after waiting weeks for another lucid dream, today was quite disappointing
hmmm… due to the fact that the radio was on and you could hear it in da dream… i think this might be a SP… allthjough a rather light one… but im not certan att all…
I dont think it was SP because I could move my dream ‘body’ but it just couldn’t move my visuals. And I sleep through my radio quite a lot so I normally hear it in my dreams…
One thing I didnt mention in my original post was that I have strange things happen in day dreams that I cant seem to control, for example if I try to open a closed door, the door stays closed and I find it really hard to open it like there is springs holding it shut(this is in daydreams not while Im asleep), and also if I try to throw something away from me it comes back to me like a magnet
So im really confused, I hope this was just a one off because its never happened to me before. I think maybe I should try to improve my visualising skills?
Sometimes strange things happen in LD’s. As they generally just happen once, I don’t think there is a need to find a solution.
Nevertheless, your question about impossible things in LD’s (or day dreaming) is interesting. I remember there was a long time ago a thread about this and people trying absolutely to manage to do them. It would be interesting to find it again…
