Last night I had several false awakenings in succession, which made me realize that I was dreaming. These false awakenings became a chain of lucid dreams, all of which were brief and very unstable. This happens to me most times that I lucid dream, making it hard to accomplish anything before my dream ends. I've made attempts to prolong my dreams by feeling textures, looking at small details, rubbing my hands together, spinning around, jumping, stomping, and shouting, but none of these techniques have even the slightest effect on my dreams. My question is, are there any stabilization techniques that work particularly well with chained lucid dreaming and have you found any way to increase the vividness of your dreams to prevent them from fading out? Any help is much appreciated as I seem to have hit a rut in my lucid dreaming due to instability.
