So I tried the rubbing the hands together thing last night and it worked pretty well!!

I became lucid, ended up fading away.. tried focusing on an object but that made everything else go dark so then i rubbed my hands together and then I was pretty stable

Then I remembered the tasks of the months and ended up shooting rainbow firey glitter out of my hands, it was awesome .. then I tried to go to the beach but I just ended up flying way high up into the sky so I had an infinite view of what you would see if you were in an airplane (just blue sky and clouds) and I got super excited that all of this was working out and then everything just faded to black again and I woke up with a racing heart wondering to myself if that really just happened, haha.

I'm going to try the stuff that kiba posted next time, hopefully tonight !!!

I just wish I could figure out i'm dreaming way earlier in the dream(s) my DILD occurs wayyy into the dream after too much crazy stuff has already happened
