Thread: My Tutorial for extending Lucid Dream Time. Hours of LD.

Good tutorial. The only thing I'd add is Don't get pulled into the dream plot. Stay detached.

Awesome! I'll definitely keep these things in mind.

Some would question if this is even possible. I say it is, because what we think of as time is actually two seperate things. There's time as in the spacing between events, the kind measured in seconds and minutes, which is constant. and then there's the subjective experience of time, which can and quite often does vary, when something seems to take more or less time. This is the one you're varying, so even though it is only, for example, 30 minutes, it seems like 2 hours, which is the only relevant part because it's the subjective experiece that counts in dreams...like, I suppose, in waking life.

Ya, but anybody who follows this will see it is very possible.

This is great thanks. My lucids are quite short and whenever I do something I don't feel as if it's really there..or I might see it, and hear it, but I can't feel it or taste it. I try to concentrate on my senses more and I stabilize at the beginning of a LD but then I always just do sight and touch and for some reason forget about sound, taste and smell (how bad am I-I just had to think what the last sense was I was listing-"smell", no wonder I forget in dreams!).

Great tutorial, now I've just got to remember to follow it in a dream (easier said than done) I Like the hand massage ball idea too.

I was near my house outside. I open up the mailbox, and see a SHORT letter written with big letters- odd kinda sloppy handwriting. I try to read the fragment that's there- but it's gibberish. I open another...and, it is too...I go up to this guy across the street a bit to see if he gets it. He's lookin at a letter... and I become lucid. I instanly without thinking quickly, sorta fly into this house accross the street. There were 3 people a little freaked inside...Then I remembered this thing from this tutorial, to just chill, and try to keep yourself occupied, blah blah. SO, I leave the house instantly, find a hand massager thing in my pocket once I thought it was gonna be there. It was a little metal thing. Shaped like a round box, but small. I turn it on, and it jitters a bit. As I'm about to sit down to do some more of what he suggested...I woke up .

Tried it in this dream . Didn't work... I was tryin to rub my hands throughout it...and there are just those lucids I get where I know they're not gonna last, but it's not my thinking that's the problem. Because this doesn't happen in all of my lucids! Those are the ones that last longer.

I have had good lucids following the plot, you just need to keep the thought that this is a dream lingering in your head and use your dream senses, and like he said, don't focus on your dream body, I don't mean to be disrespectful to you, I am just saying that you can follow the plot if you try to stay lucid.

An edit to that would be that you can loosely follow the plot, but I only do it if I have a good idea what the end of the plot would be, then when I do it, is when I need to always keep occupied, and use proper techniques to hang onto the dream.

I still don't mean to be disrespectful, you, overally would know several times more about control than I do, and I'm only 14 so who am I to instruct you?

On topic, this is a really well organised and detailed tutorial on this, If I had a vote, I'd put it in the tutorial section.

Oh and the massage ball idea is genius, I'll make sure to use it and tell you how it works.
