Well you didn't try verbal commands Scream out what you want. |

Recently, my lucid count has passed 15. And with each and every one, I seem to get more frustrated that none of these last more than 15 seconds! I've long passed the phase where I get extremely excited upon becoming lucid, so that is not the cause for my waking up. Frankly, I'm at a loss, so I'm asking for help. |

Unless otherwise stated, views expressed in this post are not necessarily representative of the official Dream Views stance. Hell, it's probably not even representative of me.
Hm, good point on the verbal commands, I will try that. |

Well, some guys just can't last more than 15 seconds. : ) |

"Speaking of which, did you find out about the you-know-what in your toolshed? As in, a name?"
"No, the dead body in my you-know-what is still a mystery."
2/3 of my LD's were allso very short. I don't know what you can do about it... |

“What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'” -Hume
Hmmm.... yes, I think i can relate to the short lucid dream problem ... just last night you see, I had a seemingly short lucid dream (Maybe 2 mins. tops). So, I was walking to the mall and it just dawned on me ... I was dreaming, for the closest mall to me is at least twenty minutes away via taxi, and I had gotten there in a matter of seconds. I didn't really want to waste my time at a mall when I could be ... well, ANYWHERE! So, I shouted out "I want to go somewhere else". Nothing. I shouted out again. Nothing. |

It may seem unrelated but memory work might help. |

Are you dreaming now?

Well, I've been a constant advocate for the position that Lucid Dreams are constrained for Time, and that those Dreamers who claim that they have had dreams that have lasted subjective years are indeed Dreaming and that they are probably the most extreme liars. |

"we may accept dream telepathy as a working hypothesis." Stephen LaBerge, page 231 Lucid Dreaming 1985
If you had about 15 LDs that last about 15 seconds each, it is very unlikely that you became lucid at the end of your REM cycle. So it may be inferred that you are breaking your natural REM cycle by being lucid. I seriously doubt that verbal commands will help you with that, as it is very likely that the problem is caused by something not-so-simple, like your brain chemistry. |

I have the same problem. Startled when realizing I'm in a dream it wakes me up. There have been instance were I maintained a dream state through shear will. I have also had less that ten times that I woke up. Got up turned off the alarm. Went to the bathroom. Laid back down. Continued the dream like it didn't end. |

You are actually more lucky then for a dream to end than a dream to end in fear. |

I hate looping dreams. When you do wake are you sure to be awake? The Matrix has you. |
