      Last Ditch Efforts to salvage the dream at the last possible moment

      This morning when I just about exited a dream, I tried to salvage it using tactile sensations, but only my arms were 'separated', which makes it rather difficult. I also tried to pull my head in, but moving my right arm too far up caused my real arm to move and I woke up instantly.

      Sometimes when you sense the dream fading away, it's a good time to practice DEILD-chaining instead of stabilization. This is particularly true when your mobility or senses are impaired in the dream, which happens to me quite often.
      I am sure about illusion. I am not so sure about reality.

      The best last-ditch stabilisation technique (and really this could be considered DEILD by some) is Nina's 'linear acceleration' tech. Simply will your dreaming attention to surge forward and you will be transported forward with overwhelming force, remaining in the dream. It's so effective because stabilisation is based on tactile sensation and this technique directly activates the 'vestibular' areas of the brain associated with balance. A less extreme version would be to dolphin dive or fall backwards.

      Always, no sometimes think it's me,
      But you know I know when it's a dream
      I think I know I mean a yes
      But it's all wrong
      That is I think I disagree
