The only thing limiting me is remembering I am in fact dreaming…but then again this is all so new to me
Is this after you’re already lucid?
A good trick is to do something to keep on reminding yourself. Such as telling DC’s that it’s a dream.
Commenting on how realistic the dreamscape looks.
Or it could be as blunt as just saying ‘this is a dream’ to yourself every now and then.
^Apparently if you do math in a lucid dream it makes the dream much more vivid and easier to manipulate/control.
No ■■■■? I have to try this 
It would make sense, you know, because to do so would require a conscious focus. So the mathematical process acts as a catalyst to a higher and more stable conscious. Very cool 
Nothing is impossible…
I’m not trying to sound like an expert (because I haven’t even had a lucid dream yet - after 3 months! Pathetic!), but I know for sure that if you believe, you can.
Never doubt your power.
The first thing I would do is stop using words like ‘pathetic’ to describe your lucid dreaming disability! Seriously, I think you’re sending your subconscious signals, even if you say it in a joking manner. I never joke around about my inability to induce LD’s at will, I just maintain an optimistic attitude - and try a different approach. After all, we have the rest of our lives to attain perfection with ld’ing.
um… yeah, there I go again
