Focus on the dream itself, look around, smell the air, walk around and feel how real it feels. Be positive! Think that the next time you have a LD it's going a vivid, and long experience. If you really think this will happen, it's going to happen. |

I've been into lucid dreaming for a pretty good time time now and I'm used to keeping a DJ and checking for strange details indicating a dream. I do reality checks in life by looking at my hand, though that hasn't happened in a dream so far. The problem is, every time I realize it's a dream I wake up. I had one dream where the people around me told me I am dreaming, I woke up after they had me convienced. Seems the most probable explanation is getting excited, but last night's dream kinda made that less likely - I was in a boat and when I looked to the sky I saw 2 moons next to each other. The dream ended. Maybe it is just by chance the end of the dream, but seems unlikely. I didn't even have time to say to myself that I'm dreaming, it's like it is a reaction to discovering an anomaly in the dream. |

You don't say how many lucids you have. This usually gets better as you have more of them. But maybe by now you think they are allways short so they turn out to be short because of that? |

I'd say that you should try to be positive and believe that you'll be able to go past that moment. As those realizations occur, you'll probably be able to keep on lucid dreaming for a little while longer. |

There are actions than can be done in order to stabilize and maintain the dream-state however I have not mastered them, but the others have said pretty much covers that |

Yeah thanks for the tips, I guess the main point to draw for that is that all I have to do is imagine and believe it will be a good, long lucid dream. The same goes for WILDing after waking up, like a second chance. |

I think you can attempt WILD if DILD is not working out for you. For WILD, you gained lucidity the moment you're in a dream if you're successful. There are quite a number of good tutorials on the site. |

I probably won't be attempting WILD (again) before having mastered DILD - the times I have tried all ended with me giving up after a different period of time, everytime feeling stiff for a long time. The thing is, I'm not even sure if I got to Sleep Paralysis, as the moment I gave up, I could move in an instant. Guess not being a light sleeper doesn't help me with this technique either... |

it's a good ide to master DILDs before moving on to WILDs. But in a mean time, you can check out this WILD tutorial. It will clear up some misconceptions, like SP, and in general, it's a very good tutorial. |
