At the moment I tend to have 1-2 lucid dreams per month, technically, usually after noticing a dream sign, but in all of them I have woken up either immediately or 2-3 seconds after I realised I was dreaming, which I know is very common. I have been told I am supposed to rub hands together and focus on the dream when I become lucid, but I wake up before I can even think of doing this. I'm guessing I need to have more LDs to get my mind used to this state, but how often have others been achieving lucidity before they were able to stabilise, or how long did it take them to reach this stage?
