Thanks a lot for this tutorial.

I have use these techniques, but for a different purpose. I used the ones about being comfortable, and blocking out light and sound in order just to sleep better, which of course gives you longer better dreams. I haven't done it for a long time, but last night I used earplugs and a blindfold, and I slept a lot better!

Also, I have walked around in a lucid dream touching things in order to increase my sense of dream-touch.

Stopping, taking it all in, in order to extend lucid dream time makes perfect sense.

Next lucid dream, I am going to walk around very slowly, touching things, smelling things, and taking it all in. I used to stay in one place which works very well, but for some reason it was always a specific place (a temple). It never occurred to me to stay in the one place I happen to find myself in upon becoming lucid.

I hope you post your DJ online. I would love to read it. Thanks again for giving me new perspective.
