Last night i had what i guess was a lucid, i don't know if i realized if it was a dream or not. But during the dream it popped in my mind to do one of the methods i learned from this site to prolong the dream, i felt the dream fading so then i started to rub my hands together and it seemed to have worked but i only did it for about 10 seconds or less. Then i had a weird feeling that i can't describe but it seemed as if the dream was fading again, and then the dreaded thing happend that always ends my dreams, i made a mistake and closed my eyes. Why didn't the hand rubbing method work?
