Thread: The More I Ground Myself, the Shorter the Lucid?

I have heard the advice over and over again, "Ground yourself in your dream. Don't go in quickly, just notice all the tiny detail." So I've tried this on several occasions. I lose lucidity in a few seconds.

So recently I've abandoned the advice. The moment I'm lucid, I start looking for whatever I want to summon or start trying to fly (im not very good at flying though). My lucids doing this method last 5-8 minutes and I'm still just practicing.

Even though I don't follow the common advice of "grounding oneself", I do follow the advice "Find what works for you." If someone is telling you a method and it doesn't work, try something else. And, of course, don't get frustrated. Being pissed off is not a good lucid aid (or maybe it is, who knows?).

If you want to disagree, you are welcome.
