Thread: Anyone who has had a super realistic lucid.

When you become lucid, try to engage all your senses right away. I like to focus on listening to the sounds (laughter, chatter, music etc) and looking at the texture and patterns of objects around me. Combine this with physical actions such as spinning or jumping makes a powerful stabilization technique because it loads the sensory system so it cannot change its focus from the dream world to the waking world. When the brain is engaged in producing the experience of any dream action, it will be more difficult for it to create a contradictory sensation based on external sensory input, allowing the dreamer to anchor themselves better to their dream environment.
Doing mathematical calculations (regardless of level of difficulty) can help stimulate the logical part of the brain and prevent loss of dream details such as colour or shape.
Another very simple and effective stabilization technique is simply to demand clarity through inner speech. Talk to yourself in your lucid dreams. Remind yourself that you are dreaming by repeating things like "I am dreaming!.... This must be a dream!". But don't forget to accompany these phrases with a few physical actions.
Even if you find that despite all your efforts to prolong the dream you still wake up, all is not lost. As soon as you awaken just stay absolutely still and deeply relax your body, there is a good chance that you will fall back into REM sleep consciously.
