Attained lucidity after dry-spell in half year, but..

When i lucid dreaming, everything was black and white, blurry, and my left eye won't open up for no reason. And also, it only last 5-7 second.

Can you tell me how to make lucid dream more vivid and longer? Is there any mantra/trick to do it?

Well this usually is down to chance but I also found out that the more frequent the lucids you have, the more stable they become. It's almost natural, so I think I'd expect everyones dry spell breaker to be an unstable one.
Of course you can improve by teaching yourself to stabilise the dream when you first get in it, stay calm relaxed and use your senses to observe the surroundings.

I would say the one thing I have found that lengthens a lucid dream is being passive in the dreamscape. Take a walk... look around. Enjoy the view. Flying (although I know it's hard not to) and extreme feats of strength (lol) have a tendency to pull me right out of the LD.
