Hello everyone, |
|
so in my opinion stabilizing the dream is kind of overrated. you force it way too much. |

A very good post by RelaxandDream! I agree with everything he said. I don't spend much time to stabilize (for better or worse) and instead focus on my goals. Goals are very important in keeping you lucid and engaged with the dream. Lately I have been learning to teleport so I have been relying on more techniques than normal. Here is what works for me: |
|
In general, my best way of stabilizing is by simply incorporating all 5 of my senses. |

"If we doubted our fears instead of doubting our dreams, imagine how much in life we'd accomplish." ~Joel Brown
"Your background and circumstances may have influenced who you are, but you are responsible for who you become." ~Darren Hardy
Goals:
-Become Lucid in every dream every night
-Perfect the time dilation watch
-Continue to have a dream plan for most of my lucid dreams
hey guys, thanks everybody for sharing you insights... it's true, my lucid dreams aren't very relaxed sometimes, because i think they mostly occur on the really last leg of my rem sleep - it's literally a race with time. i have had lucid dreams deeper into the night and didn't have that much problem with stability then, but the other times, late in the mornings i have to really work on staying in the dream and then i can often observe it fading while engaging my senses. nevertheless, forceful or not, it has helped me to stay in quite long sequences of dreams that kept fading but then luckily recontinued (after exertion of some force). in those dreams keeping busy seems the key, i can literally observe how the background fades if i do not engage enough. someone recommended somewhere else to walk into rain, i think i'll try that. the falling backwards sounds good too, but really like a last resort. |

rubbing hands together can help, it works for me. You can do it while walking, flying, talking, it's not distracting. when a dream is fading it's even possible to grab hands together and still feel it when you're feeling the rest of your body lying in a bed then it's pretty easy to catch a LD again. |
|
Objects and surroundings touching is super effective! |

If you feel like it, please take a look at my YouTube channel:

If you don't, hm well have a nice day anyway ^_^
I'm used to touch everything around me, the background. |
|
with this i would recommend to focus on the sensation of flying itself. feel the acceleration feel the wind blowing in your face and your body etc. you just need to focus a little on it and you will start feeling it and then you can keep a little of concentration on that sensation. |
|
Commanding stability doesn't work for me. What does work is hand rubbing and focusing on what I see (describing what I see in detail to myself). I haven't tried spinning yet. |
|
Here's what happened to me. I used to worry alot about stability, as I was waking up only seconds after lucidity. Then I realized that I had convinced myself that the dream would destabilize when I became lucid. Once I let go of that, my stability improved greatly, and my dream life benefited. |
|
I've also read that some people do math in their dreams to make it more clear and to avoid "drifting away". It works quite well for me to keep the mind at bay. |

“When scholars study a thing, they strive
To kill it first, if its alive;
Then they have the parts and they’ve lost the whole
For the link that’s missing was the living soul.”
― Mephistopheles, Goethe, Faust: First Part
Last night, in my lucid dream, I knocked on stuff like a door. Simple but it helps. |
|
So far I've only had spontaneous DILD - if that's the right word for it. At some point in my dream I just realise I'm dreaming and become lucid. If it's not because I checked my hands and tried to count my fingers I will do so afterwards. And also some more times during the dream to stabilise it. Weird looking hands are a very reliable dream-thing for me. And flying. |

Like with a lot of previous posters, incorporating all my senses, and really noticing all the details helps. |
