first post in a while. i got caught in school and stuff. but anyway..
so several times recently i've recognised i'm dreaming and starting to lucid dream. but i start to wake up. and it's not like i just stop dreaming and open my eyes. but like the dream is fading and being taken from me. i start to struggle to stay asleep but i've realised now that just makes it harder. but if i relax and accept it i just wake up anyway!
what's going on?

On LD hiatus. Probably will start again around new years.
Or, you know -- randomly throughout this year and next.

I go through periods like this when my dreams "kick me out" the moment I become lucid. It is extremely frustrating, it isn't like you can increase clarity with a normal dream because it simply disapears. I haven't figured out a way around this with the exception of hoping for the best and enjoying whatever experiance comes my way. I did notice that it happens to me alot when I am trying really hard to have lucid dreams, (No, I don't wake up from getting excited) but if I relax and put less effor in them and instead let them come to me, I have fewer problems staying in the dream.

I find that when I'm in a lucid spinning helps me make the dream clear. However I also have this problem where I'll just lie down for a WBTB and I'll be slipping into a dream and then BAM I'm wide awake. It's sooo frustrating. My only advice is to stop thinking about it. Whenever I start to worry that I'm losing a dream- I lose it!
Happy Dreaming :insomnia:
