Thread: The first few lucid dreams..

It's a misconception that getting excited in earlier lucid dreams will wake you up more than on later lucid dreams. It's all about practice and learning how to focus and stabilize the dream and it's gotta be done at some point. I think the real reason people say this is because in the beginning most dreamers want to have a few minutes of lucid at least to get used to it but if you keep waking up you might start losing hope.
Anyways don't stress about it, I still frequently wake up from forgetting to stabilize but I just go on with it. The way I see it is that if you learn how to do these things now, you won't have to later.

edit: I should add however that I have always been good at dream control because I always analyze my situation at the beginning of the dream, I convinced myself that any action in the dream would take the same amount of effort, so things like moving mountains does not particularly challenge me.
