need help with stabilization!!!!

last might i had 2 LDs, ive had a total of 15, and all of them including last nights have only lasted a few seconds. i had my longest one last night.

the first one when i became lucid i couldnt think how to stabilize and freaked out a bit and woke up.

and the second time i stayed calm, got on the floor, rubbed my face on the carpet, licked it, smelt it, looked at it and said dream stabilize a few times. it stabilized and i stood up and my vision went funny, it split in half horazontaly and both halfes moved in together like what old tvs do. and then i woke up.

what am i doing wrong?

If it goes blurry, to fix these I normally shout "Lucidity, stabalize!"
Or, "HD VISION MODE!"
And it's crystal clear :D
You can just rub your hands, but your way was probably actually better, because you used all your senses :D
I think you just need to give it more, You're doing all the right things. You're doing better than me, you have more lucids :)

thanx

I have been pracctising for two years, and I have had a lot of lucid dreams like this. There are tons of dreams like this in my Dream Journal.
It took Robert Waggoner 25 years to learn to stay and vividly explore the dream world... It's not something that you learn with ease just by reading a guide..
The oly way to learn it is to learn it by yourself, have more lucid dreams like this, sure you can go ahead and read some guides about anchoring yourself to the dream by senses..
What senses? A dream is a thought! You just have to become used to the feeling of a dream and learn how to behave in that state so to speak and get used to it.
Most people here really doesn't have those super real feeling lucid dreams and have full dream control every day, I can guarantee it, because in that case lucid dreaming had been easy.
What I have found works best for me, is to just be calm and just observe what i happening, not by seing, hearing, feeling, tasting or smeeling, just be.
Hard to explain, the best way of explaining it is probably to say "stay calm and be aware".
When you feel that you are FULLY aware of the dream and can remember real life memories you are very lucid and now you can explore the dream, but be aware of that the dream is allways trying to trick you to make you dream normally again or trick you that you are awake, so be aware!

But as I said you can only learn by yourself. So keep trying to get lucid dreams and learn from those experiences. But if you feel like "techniques" really work for you well then you learn from the techniques. But allways believe in yourself and not the technique.
