Have you tried engaging more of your senses? Touching, licking anything, smelling the air, stomping feet. |

My normal and most practiced method of becoming lucid is DILDS but recently I've been experiencing more WILDS/DEILDS. I tend to experience these within my last hour of sleep as I often drift in and out of consciousness; and as my dog takes it as his duty to bark at every possible noise he hears in the outside world that wakes me up constantly as well. |

i'll second Gab here a little bit. i have that quite often as well where i will step into the dream and for some reason i'll have slightly unfocused vision etc. for me it seems to clear up if i use a command like "now i see perfectly" and also if i stoop down and find a rock (for me it's always a piece of chocolate candy that i pick up lol) and then i try to really focus intently on all the details, taste it, turn it etc that seems to clear it up. using that command just the other night i went from blurry to HD vision in microseconds. it's definitely a challenge though to stay calm and not concede to that sense of urgency when you really want to accomplish something in the dream. i can't really relate though to the DILDs feeling more real vs WILDs. for me they feel the same. i think another key to keep them going longer is to keep maintaining that awareness by frequent hand rubbing, detail checking etc not just something you first do upon arrival. |

I'll attempt to do these things next time. I suppose the sense I rely most on is sight so I will try to engage my other senses as well. I already do those sorts of things in my DILDS but I just seem to forget when it comes to WILDS. To be honest I think this might be another problem caused by my medication. I'm so groggy and drowsy on a morning so it's very easy to slip into WILDS but it's not easy to really hold on to them. |
