My last couple LDs were very short. They only last a couple seconds after my reality check, all though my longest LD was probably only around 30 sec or so.

Im trying to stabilize right after i become lucid. Its like as soon as i become lucid the dream starts fading right as im trying to stabilize.

The first time i woke up while my arms actually moved to rub my hands together. i tried to drift back into the dream again but realized i couldn't fall asleep with my arms still pointing in the air...so i put then down and wasn't able to get back into the dream

Just last night I got a MILD to work for the first time, for whatever reason while i was going to bed i knew it would work, my mind was just so focused on it. When the dream came i knew i was dreaming right away i remember it all very clearly, i did do a RC to reassure but i already knew, the dream faded right after, i tried to rub my hands on the bedsheet in the dream to stabilize and no luck.

Also, my last could LDs were in the first and second REM cycle so i know they dont last as long but i figured more than 3 seconds..

I havent tried spinning usually because im not standing, and the dream is fading before i get to

Thanks for any advice
