Congrats on you WILDs. If you want to describe how you get into SP and to WILD from there, would be awesome.
RE: stabilization
Rubbing hands, clapping them, looking at them, looking and touching the ground, nearby objects, feeling really how they feel - are they hot, cold, soft, what's the texture, talking to yourself - these are all done in order for you to become more engaged with the dream, to be part of it, rather than just an outside observer.
Don't rush stabilizing. If you feel like you have to, because your dreams are short - that's partly a reason, why they could be short - because you think they will be. Tell yourself as a mantra - long and stable. They end only when I want to. Be confident about it. You are very good at WILDs, whatever you autosuggest to yourself, will work.
Here are some tutorials for stabilization and Here.
Just remember, if you read that something may wake you up - if you believe that, than it will wake you up for sure. Happy dreams:)

Sure, Basically most mornings Ill wake up once or twice to go the bathroom or after a dream or something. Sometimes Ill walk around for a bit but usually I go straight back to bed and attempt a WBTB WILD. I just get really comfy and try to not to think about dreaming to much, I keep in mind that I'm waiting for SP, but not so much that it hinders my ability to get asleep pretty fast. Usually it feels like theres a brief few seconds where I fall asleep and lose awareness, but it comes back to me in a few seconds and I realize I can feel the slight tingling of SP. At this point I just relax and feel the vibrations come from in between my ears and take over my body. Sometimes I dont do WBTB and I'll just randomly find myself lying in bed in SP while Im sleeping. After SP goes away and I feel like I can move again, I open my eyes always to find myself in my room. Then I do a nose plug RC and it always works and Im lucid. Ill keep researching dream control and stabilization and let you know how it goes. I remember when I yelled stabilize now, it was the sound of my voice that made me feel more anchored in the dream. Same with touching a wall. Ill try to pay more attention to my surroundings and senses next time.

hmm well I'm seeing steady progress as time goes by :) I just had another Lucid this morning although it wasnt a very long one. Thats the problem I've been having, when I WILD, I find myself in the most realistic dream version of my house and its amazing to just float around and look at things. But once I leave my house I seem to drift from consciousness and find myself losing lucidity. I try to remind myself that I'm dreaming as often as I can but I always forget somehow. Anything else I can do to stay lucid longer? Stabilizing isnt really a problem, its always very vivid and lifelike.

Hm, other than stabilizing, I don't really know anything that can help you stay in a dream longer. You seem to have right state of mind to make them longer. It took me about 40 LDs, untill they started getting longer than 2-5 min. Now I'm at about 10-15min. So it may get better as your number rises.
Have you checked out Wild class in Academy? It's really awesome. Perhaps you can ask Sageous this question, he is much better qualified to help with WILDs. Happy dreams:alien:

Yea I figure the best approach is to just keep practicing. I've already realized that the more lucid experiences I have, the better I get :P I've also been following along with Sageous' guide It's really helpful :) Happy dreams to you too :D

Yes, they should get better as you go on. Check back whenever you feel like it. But if you defected to WILD class, don't bother.:pissed: Heh, just kidding. Happy dreams :alien:
