Problems with control

[Ramspirit]

I don't really have problems with LDing I get them pretty often and I'm ok with that The problem I have is that they tend to be short because of control I tried everything, "Lucidity pills", rubbing my hands, spinning. I'm always calmed because I'm kind of used to the feeling of being lucid, but I just want them to be longer I have 3 to 4 short LD's in a row and It's not that fun u_u

To start, stabilizing can be hard at first for some people. When you're stabilizing the dream, you should focus on the sense that you're stabilizing with, for example, focus on the feeling in your hands as you rub them together. You should ideally stabilize with more than one sense as well, like taste for instance. I know someone that licked the ground to stabilize a dream that was fading. That's a bit drastic just to improve the vividness of the dream, but you get the picture. You should try doing things that you know will draw your attention to a specific sense. As for dream control, you have to have confidence in yourself, that you can do what it is you want to do. If you go into the dream believing that it will be hard or impossible to control it, that's what will happen. ShockWave.
