The following techniques are to be used to restart your dreams.
They can be used at any time during a lucid, although I'm listing them here to be used when the dream starts to break down and you can't salvage it.
With me, most of these usually induce false awakenings. Always remember to reality check when you either "wake up", or wake up. False awakening can be tricky little buggers.
The main idea behind most of these, is suddenly making your dream body experience a huge amount of input from the dream environment.
Those are:
- Flexing your dream body's back muscles a huge amount
- Slamming yourself backwards into the ground
- Spinning
- breaking your toes or other body parts
Then theres the ones that are used before the dream is fading, (but when you know its about to).
These include:
Flexing your dream body's back muscles a huge amount:
Self explanatory, at the point where your engulfed in blackness, pull yourself backwards as hard as possible with your back muscles.
As with all of these methods, your going to have to vividly experience the feeling of doing this as much as possible.
Slamming yourself backwards into the ground:
This is how I first figured out the back muscles method.
When your in the dream and its getting all crazy and fading on you, slam yourself backwards to the ground.
Vividly experience both the dizzying sensation, and the feeling you get when your body hits the ground.
This one induces the most false awakenings for me, I usually fall into my bed
Spinning:
one of the oldest methods, you spin with all your might either on one foot or both. Vividly experience the dizziness as your doing it.
You can do this either when you enter blackness, or try and teleport to a new scene when your dream begins to fade.
Just make sure you focus on the sensation of spinning here, thats the main thing.
Breaking your toes or other body parts:
Pretty obvious way of making your dream body experience a flare of sensation.
Lift your suddenly barefoot feet and slam your toes forwards into the ground.
You can also use other body parts, just make sure you use things in the environment to break them, so that you don't accidentally break something in the real world (like if you grabbed your finger and snapped it -- that wouldn't be good at all).
___________
The rest of these can be used at any time during a dream to kind of "restart" the whole experience.
They almost always induce false awakenings for me. Make sure you reality check the second you "wake up".
Going to sleep:
Just lay down and "WILD" into a new dream.
Or just go to sleep, but then you may just enter a non lucid dream.
Suicide:
Kill yourself in any way you see fit.
Maybe you'll resurrect, maybe you'll enter a false awakening, or maybe something else will happen.

Well that was my tutorial on lucid prolongation.
Use all the techniques together for maximum effect, or just use them individually.
Hope I helped someone out there out by writing this
