Thread: Take your time dont rush to action in first attempts.

Congrats on your success!
I agree with you that lucid dreaming is a skill which needs practice and patience, and yes, it's alot about awareness, because awareness is what makes us lucid.
As for dream length, are you thinking/worried about possibility of waking up when becoming lucid? That may sometimes cause waking up, so it's better to try not do it, and maybe you could also use mantra like "My lucid dreams will be longer" or similar. Alternatively it may be sleeping schedule related, i've had some experiences while experimenting with sleeping schedule where my lucids were much longer if i go to sleep at certain time, so that maybe worth looking at if you are able to ofcourse.

No i dont think my body or awaking at all. I havent been able to try all my idea yet but i have tried, words, rubbing hands, together and spinning. I dont get excited anymore. This is how it always happens: I have always very clear lucid dreams but in most of them i am stupid just dont fully understand everything then i do all stabalazion tencniques and it makes my dream more realistic. After 1 minute all start to fade and i start rubbing hands together and spin but still end up in bed. I think i just have to practice. Also i tried to make dream character my dream guide but they have refused. I have had few that seem to be really stable but in them i blink my eyes and instantly im in my bed again.
