Totally agree. Can't wait to see what happens next. *note to self: restrain expectations*

I was in a room with a mirror and some kind of box on the ground, so I slowly went through the room, looked into the mirror (all I could see was an extremely blurry reflection of myself), and before I could even sit down on that box to meditate, I started thinking along the lines of : "Ok nice, stay calm, sit down, start meditating, and DONT think of your body sleeping in bed" and POOF, obviously I instantly awoke. It gets even worse when it happens every time, because now I know how fragile this state really is and it makes me lose lucidity even quicker because I try to be extra-cautious.
Also, my dream vision is pretty bad lately in all of my LDs ( not so in my normal dreams ), usually everything is really blurry and I have a pretty narrow field of vision, which I also can't change; I tried stuff like screaming "Clarity" or getting dream glasses, but with no real effect (the glasses helped for a few seconds before everything got blurry again).
Try not to lunge for whatever task you have in mind. Try not to care about the time you have and use those first moments to touch something near you, really feel the texture of it. Or maybe pay attention to some kind of sound, if that works better for you. I know from experience how "panic" can kill lucidity so I just try to be patient about it. If nothing else, at least you get to enjoy those brief dreams more, imo.


I think it couldn't hurt us to already try meditating in a dream when we get the chance. It might even benefit our waking meditation by giving us a glimpse of the state that we are shooting for.
Well , the problem was that I didn't understand what to do. Now, I know it's akin to using extra-senses in lucids, I can try going that way, see what happens. I'm such an idiot that I never thought of that before.

I guess the worst that could happen would be waking up immediately. I will certainly keep trying and hope that I will have something interesting to add to my workbook within the next couple of weeks
*rooting*

Please keep your reports coming too, it is a lot more motivating to have someone else go down the same road, and we can certainly benefit a lot from each others experiences and even failures.
Totally agree again. Stay tuned.
