Thread: Whenever I become lucid I can't hold it and end up waking up :(

thats how i had my first lucid dream.. or so i was told... the dream ended short when i looked in a mirror and saw a disfigured image of me, closed my eyes and tried to open them but wound up opening my real eyes instead.... i havent had a LD since.. that was about a week ago

I have no Idea if spinning really helps but it did do something for me. I was near my home and suddenly understood that I'm dreaming 'cause the fence was wrong XD and I started panicking that I might wake up soon so I started spining and so I wouldn't wake up I kept saying to myself: "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming" and when I stoped spinning I realised I didn't go really far - I was just 3 mins of walkng from where I was before in that dream it sort of was really hot and I was wearing a jacket and gloves. so I took of the gloves but didn't think about the jacket. I wanted to fly but it was just too hot for me. then I saw a car going towards me and jumped over it and while I did that I thought I must be buried under blankets since it's so hot. and then I woke up
In another dream I understood that I'm dreaming and I thought that I'm gonna wake up soon so I tried to feel the texture of the ground in order to stay in the dream longer. but it didn't really work 'cause the ground was all soft like mud And I kept trying so hard that I forgot that I'm dreaming XD
About speaking in the dream - I read somewhere that the lips tend to wake up from sleep paralysis easily thus waking up the whole body as well. so who wakes up from speaking should try telephaty instead.(I never have problems with speaking...)
