To me it sounds like you get overly excited once you attain lucidity and end up losing it. The 'problem' you're suggesting is more simple than you think to solve. |

I've been having this issue throughout every single one of my lucid dreams but one. The problem is pretty self-explanatory, I trigger lucidity in a dream but it immediately ends within 1 to 2 seconds. After that I spend a little while in what I can explain as a state between wakefulness and sleep. During this short transition I experience a series of uncomfortable vibrations or whatever and then I wake up. I don't know if this last bit of information is relevant or not to my question but felt I should include it anyway. |

Stay lucid!
(and sexy)
The state you're in afterwards is REM Atonia. If you visualize or try and recall the dream you were just in or a dream you've recently had, or use another method to transition from REM Atonia you can use this as a springboard for DEILD. I often experience this when I get random DILDs. The dream ends within 2 to 5 minutes (if not flat out seconds), but since my body hasn't moved at all and I'm completely relaxed but still lucid, it's very easy to enter directly into a dream after exiting the original. Try searching around about DEILDs. |

I'm not sure "excited" is the word I'd use to describe my experience once lucid, though I do get an emotional surge the moment I trigger it. I do however, get stressed out over the fact the dream is about to end, so that might fall in there perfectly with being overly excited. Call it expectation, as I'm surely already unwillingly conditioned to fear the impending doom of the dream crumbling to pieces, so I need to work on that. As for having a focus or end goal beyond lucidity itself is something I hadn't thought about at all! It completely flew over my head, but makes perfect sense! My objective all this time has been to achieve lucidity, and yet, once I've met that goal, my mind senses there's nothing left for me to do and so wraps it up and ends the event! So, I'm definitely going to work on changing or extending my initial goal, maybe adding a bit of visualization as you suggest, and hopefully I can move on! Thanks for the tip Caiocontieri! Sleep on indeed. |

Well, I really just meant even if you stop feeling the vibrations and essentially exit the state, not moving a muscle still allows for falling back to sleep very quickly while retaining consciousness. That, and I'm able to move during REM Atonia if I really want to, so sometimes I don't properly take that into consideration before I speak. I mean, I feel paralyzed but if I will myself to exit the state and move around I can (I just don't, normally, because it's so useful for getting into a dream). |
