I have been trying to lucid dream for a while and I haven't had many but i found that the couple MILD's and DILD's i had lasted a couple minutes at most. But one time i was just coming out of a non-lucid dream when the thought all of a sudden popped into my head to do a DEILD. I succeeded and its the only non-MILD/DILD LD i have had but it was much longer than them. I don't get too excited because i always make it that i immediately become very calm as soon as i become lucid so i don't wake so i was always confused why the other methods lasted such a short time.

Does anyone else notice a difference in time that a LD lasts depending on the technique used?
