Travel to the moon...

[mjolnir_knight]

One night I suddenly became lucid in my dream.  I was downtown in my city, almost right next to where I was sleeping in an apartment building.  I suddenly looked up at the (glowing blue?) night sky and decided, "Hey.  Let's go to the moon."  I crouch down and do a cool Neo/Matrix jump and propell myself skyward.  After a few seconds of travel, I was nearly out of the atmosphere.  At this point, something weird happened.  I suddenly became conscious of my physical body, and it was hyperventilating.  As I got higher and higher, I moved slower and slower, and breathed faster and faster.  My vision started to close off, and I could feel myself falling... falling... back into my body.  Does anybody have a clue what caused this?  Was it simply my belief that I can't "suck vaccumme" that screwed me over?

Thanks,

The feeling of hyperventilation might very well indicate a fear response. You were attempting something which absolutely terrified your physical body (fear of height/suffocation/radiation/etc).

Also, you ran out of energy. Many people (dare I say most?) find it difficult to project themselves beyond their immediate surroundings without losing lucidity. Attempting to go to the moon is like trying to drive a F1 car when you have only been driving a 1400 smart car around town for a while. I am not saying you shouldn't try, by all means, just don't be surprised if it turns out a lot harder than you imagined...
