Thread: How do I stop waking up to see if i am sleeping :S

did it again last night, I realized i was dreaming and woke up... this time i was able to rub my hands together but it stil didn't help

Hm.

I read recently that someone who was having this problem solved it by grabbing hold of something in the dream and hanging onto it.
They were able to stay lucid for a bit longer but were stuck carrying the grabbed object with them, like a security blanket.

Might want to give it a try if spinning or hand rubbing or the other techniques aren't working.

Other than that all I can say is keep trying. You'll get a handle on staying asleep and lucid eventually.

thanks i'll try that!

Don't let it panic you if the dream starts fading. Stay still, and chances are it'll become a DEILD.

Add confidence to the mix in whatever method you choose, and the results will be spectacular. =]

I agree with everyone else, but something that helps me sometimes is to try stay calm and focus on a particular thing that is around you, doesn't matter really. If you can walk, try to walk up to it and look at it really close.

Sometimes when I realize I am dreaming my limbs get heavy and I can barely move, or if I try too hard I move my limbs in real life and wake myself up. What helps me is to float around. I can't really explain how to do it, I don't really know myself. But like other things like going through walls and flying, you just have to know you can do it.

yeah like abra mentioned, you could always do DEILD.

It's a really easy technique if you know that you're waking up, and that way it wont matter if you wake up or not. You can still enter back into the dream.
