Being controlled in my dream?

[smooth]

Are you shere your not just having a obe when sleeping? I bet that is what is happening to you, next time when that 'dream' happens try to think real hard to float up. If you start to float up you are most likely have an obe. But dont try it once and it not work and say forget it try it a couple of times.

The most common explaination is one that involves your own will.  If you think about wanting to do something, and can hold that thought clearly, it has a good chance of happening, for example if you want to fly around just think about which way you want to go and off you go.  If you are stuck somewhere it could be you are unsure or afraid and that stops you from moving, possibly fear of moving your physical body stops you from moving.

It is likely you have conflicting, confused thoughts when projecting which cause you to bounce around in different directions, because you have no clear goal.  Also, there is such a thing known as "astral wind" which I can't explain the cause of but for some reason and completely against your conscious will you are taken to a location.  Maybe theres an astral tornado in your room?  Just kidding.

Try not to freak out, calm your nerves, and instead of focussing on the problem becoming absorbed in it try to think of a clear goal like "i want to fly to the moon" or maybe "i want to go outside" and hopefully you should be able to do so.

I've had dreams where I'm being slung around my living room like a ragdoll, and even thrown into walls and such, all while I'm too scared to move.

I recently had an experience just like this one, I'm not exactly sure yet if it was an OBE or a Lucid dream. It was my first attempt never the less. I didn't know what to expect or how to move so like Sam said above if you don't have a goal you could get confused. I can clearly remember being confused because when I came out it was dark and I didn't know which way was up and I panicked. That's when I began to be flung around.

I've noticed that I've had some dreams before that feel as if my body is being controlled, or moved around by some force.  I've had dreams where I'm being slung around my living room like a ragdoll, and even thrown into walls and such, all while I'm too scared to move.  Of course, these are just dreams ( my actual body isn't being thrown ).
Just last night, I had one where my dream body was gently lifted from my physical, and layed in the floor of my dark room.  It was held there.  I was so freaked out, I didn't exactly know what to do.  I couldn't move for some reason...

Does this happen to anyone else?  If so, explain your theory.
