I have been really into lucid dreaming in the past but I sabotaged myself by associating lucidity with waking up because it had happened a few times in the beginning. This caused it to happen every time and naturally I got burned out putting effort into something and getting nowhere, so I took a break.
Tonight though I had a natural lucid dream which has become a much more regular occurrence since I started practicing. I was aware of my past with waking up before I could even do anything but this time I didn’t wake up. I don’t know why but I kinda disregarded my normal “I might wake up, gotta do something fast” thought and just went on with my dream and it never came up again.
My control is definitely a bit rusty, I was trying to fly and I started going backwards lol. I didn’t know why but I just couldn’t go forward, until I realised my broomstick was the wrong way around and pointing behind me (I never picked up a broomstick). Once I turned it around I could fly forward again 😂
