The past few nights ive been having a lot of dreams and almost 3 times now ive become lucid and said to myself "i know im dreaming". My only problem is that i start to wake up shortly after realizing im dreaming. I dont think that im getting over excited though, because i remin perfectly calm. I just try to go along with the dream and all of a sudden everything just starts to fade and the more i try to stay in the dream the quicker i wake up. I read about rubbing your hands together to stay in a dream but havent tried it yet. Does anyone have any other advice?
