OK so it seems like I'm getting very good at Lucid dreaming I seem to always catch my self dreaming during dreams and become Lucid

Heres the story
In the dream i was in my middle school this is years ago so I'm surprised i didn't notice sooner well its a long dream I'm basically going around school during my day its kinda like I'm a new student then i go outside because i just cursed my teacher out and I'm running so i don't get in trouble i loose her on the Field and i go to my friend they seem to be ignoring me it feels strange then i look and say wait this isn't real because all these people are grown up and look older so i conclude I'm dreaming!!!OK so heres where i become lucid i jump off the steps on the Field and and run to go find something to touch to become vivider its a old rusted pole PERFECT so as I'm touching it my hand turns into rust color its kinda cool then i turn around and attempt to fly as I'm running i feel like i am going to wake up i lift off but get a little air then fall and wake up damn!





OK my last post i got a really good answer to this but i wanted to know what ways you keep you self in the dream i recall this dream was long before i became lucid so it is possible i just ran out on REM period i kinda hit the floor then woke up not so much at the same time so yeah what do you use?
