Well I wasn’t so sure where to post this. I’m pretty new to the site, But I hope I got it in the right forum. 
Well any ways, let me get this out of the way. Recently this morning I was in my bed and I couldn’t open my eyes. I had wanted to open my eyes but I couldn’t. And for some reason I was asking my self if I was dreaming. So I finally managed to pull my eyes opened by force because I was afraid of knowing if I was dreaming or not. So I got out of that zone and realized I was dreaming. Most of the times when I get lucid I lack dream control and I rush to get into it because I get excited. And that’s the problem with me.
From my understandings, I’ve noticed when I opened my eyes I decided to do the finger reality check. I opened my eyes and saw my finger, it looked like it was frozen, “I don’t know why.” And this sort of thing happened to me twice this morning. So I wasn’t so sure if I was lucid or having a false awakening, etc. When ever I do have lucid dreams, I feel like I don’t want to get out of bed and explore. Sometimes I just feel like not doing anything because I get scared, etc. I don’t know why. Maybe its because my mind hasn’t done any lucid dreaming that much. I’ve had some in the past.
Usually when I’m lucid I tell my mind to take me different places and nothing works so I think dream control might be the problem.
So I was wondering if anyone could help me here on the forum. I know you have to keep a dream journal which I’ve started doing. I’m keeping a lucid anchor and it seemed to help me well last night for dream recall and self affirmations because I’m usually bad with dream recall, and I was hoping anyone could help me solve my problem. Thanks.
EDIT: I realized this must be in the wrong forum, Could a mod please move it to where it needs to be. Thanks.
