Thread: Having trouble once I have become lucid....

Used to happed to me all the time. Here's my procedure:

1. Calm yourself.
2. Look at your hands.
3. Rub your hands together and think about how they feel.
4. Touch other objects or focus on one object very hard.

that sounded pretty creepy with a face coming against you O.o

With the dreams you have, it's a shame you can't stabilize them yet. What helps for me is to take everything slowly, and do reality checks every 2 minutes ( or the best estimation, time is weird in dreams ). When I say take tings slowly, I mean don't rush through and immediately do what you want to do. You kind of have to take what the dream gives you and manipulate it a little bit. A great piece of advice I have found is to explore the dream that you have been given, and almost try to fool the dream into thinking you don't know you're dreaming ( if that makes sense ). I would suggest looking up youtube and looking up advanced lucid dreaming. The user should be lucidpedia. After following his advice, all of my lucids ( with the exception of one ) have lasted longer with almost no stabilization.

Hey thanks everyone for the advice. I will try these things next time I become lucid...Stay calm, dont rush it and stabilize the dream...sounds good. I will let you know if it works next time Im lucid.

Cheers, Gruski.

like everyone else said its best to stop, calm down, and ground yourself in the dream. make sure you take your time on this, last 2 lucids i went straight to flying and soon drifted back into the dream and lost the lucid. walk around! by walking for just a full minute i had one of the longest LD ive ever had (15 min)
