      Can't stay in the dream when I become lucid...

      Well I'm definately making progress, I used to have the problem that when I came across the choice of becoming lucid or remain dreaming I'd choose to say in the dream (subconciously) but the last 2 days in every dream I had where I came across the choice I choose to become lucid.

      But the moment I do it I lose the dream, I'm quite certain I'm not (over) entheusiastic at all. I've tried smelling, tasting, touching the environment. I've tried screaming to the dream to become lucid and stay so, that it should stay clear. Even tried spinning (first time ever that I got it to work) But to no avail, I wake up. I tried this about 4 times this morning but I just can't stay in the lucidness, one was followed up by an FA as well.

      Now the funny thing is that I work with RC's in real life, but haven't ever done one in a dream. Even more, when I reach the choice of becoming lucid it's because somehow I think "hey I'm dreaming", this happens only in the dreams I have that are reality like. I don't have it at all at any too wild and fantasy like dreams, where it should be more obvious.

      Does anyone know any other method I can try to stay in the lucidness or is it just a matter of practice now?

      your problem can be *easily* solved.

      when you become lucid, relax. Dont worry if you will wake up, cause that's the plan. If you wake up (or see darkness behind your eyelids), dont move. Just lay there and visualize/think of a last location of a faded dream.

      Within seconds/minutes, 2 things may occur.

      1) you may enter WILD and find yourself in another lucid dream

      2) last faded scene will come alive and you'll be fully lucid once again.


      every time your LD fades, you can reenter it via this method.

      I wouldnt recommend reeentering dream more then 5 times tho - after that you are gambling with your recall of a dream

      i agree with ev, i had my first WILD experiences using that method. i still do it whenever i remember to, the hard thing is not opening your eyes when you initially wake up. anyways, i'd suggest giving it a try... good luck

      1.6. What should I do once I'm Lucid?
      Absolutely nothing at first. You might want to try to find out how conscious you are, make sure
      that the logical part of your brain is functioning and that all your senses are working. You
      need to remember your intent, do some math tasks, recall a few things from your life, what time
      it is, what date it is, where you are and stuff like that. Look around you and observe things.
      Don't feel like you are in a hurry and need to get things done before the Dream fades. Also
      make sure that you are in a dream, not in hypnagogic imagery. All your senses should be working
      including tactile feelings. I want to emphasize that you make sure that your logical abilities
      are working. Not only do they create your consciousness, they can also create the most splendid
      dreams you could ever imagine. Once you are satisfied with your logical abilities you can cut
      loose and start controlling the dream.[/b]

      Rats, I didn't get any near LD's last night with WBTB, so couldn't try it out. Oh well, better luck next time.
