So, in my years of Lucid Dreaming, I often had a ton of trouble keeping my dreams long lasting and stable, it was only recently that I've been able to keep them lasting longer. During my time exploring different stabilisation techniques, one I kept coming across time and time again was people saying to just shout/say "Stabilise!" or "Clarity!" or "Stability!" in the dream.

I tried this, and no matter how many times I tried, it never did a thing, the dream never changed no matter what I said or shouted in it.

That was, until I tried to do it a little differently. One day I was in a lucid dream, and instead of saying it aloud, I decided to say "Stability" in my head. The minute I did this, the entire dream instantly stabilised. So I tried it again with something else, I said "Fly" quietly inside my head in the dream, and sure enough, I started flying. So, intrigued, I tried again, and inside my head I said "Land on the grass", and instantly I came to land.

I've tried this for pretty much every aspect of dream control since then, from changing the location, to spawning dream characters, to ordering dream characters around, to gaining super-powers, and of course just stabilising the dream. Every time it seems to work without fail - unlike actually speaking the words aloud which never did anything for me.

So yeah I just thought I'd share this - try giving commands inside your head in a dream rather than speaking them aloud. Hopefully this'll help some of you!
