So I had another lucid dream last night, which is sweet. |

I recognize the feeling, however I rarely get it. |

I seem to become lucid about 5-6 hours after I have fallen asleep, rarely any earlier than that. |

It is common, but it is something you need to get over with. Once you turn lucid, go ahead and just make your dream stable. They try to focus as much as you can on the dream itself and forget about your physical body If it fades, stablize it again and keep enjoying the lucid |

Yeah I'm having a similar problem right now, nothing as annoying as accidently opening your real eyes straight from an LD. |

If you read this do a reality check, you will thank me later...
About that when you are in your lucid dream and it feels very vivid, but when you wake up you dont have that vividness in your memory. Do you remember things as vivid in your waking life? I don't. What you are living right now may feel vivid, but think back 10 minutes and try to get that vivid feeling you had at that moment. I can't. I just remember it, I don't have that vividness in my memory. I don't remember waking reality any better than dream reality, other than conversations, but as far as vividness goes it's pretty even between these two realities. |

Good point... unless I really take a mental photograph of my surroundings by focusing really hard on something, rarely will I recall that much. I could probably only use a few words just like as if I was remembering a dream. It's really not that much different. The same goes for other senses too... unless I am really focused on what I am feeling, smelling, hearing, etc, or something activates that intense focus (like the feeling of pain from being shot, or maybe the smell of something awful), it's all just kind of fuzzy. Of course in dreams too when you focus on certain things they become fuzzy (at least for me they do) and the fuzziness becomes what is remembered. |

I have this feeling a lot in lds. To be honest none of the stabilisation techniques have really worked for me. What works for me is not doing anything. For example once I realised i was dreaming and then I was flung around my bedroom for a good minute with startling force. I tried to stabilise myself and take control and the more i did that the more i got flung about. Eventually i realised i just had to stop trying to do anything and i would come to rest like a bouncy ball losing it's momentum. It worked and as soon as i came to rest the dream was stable. |

Yes, lucid dreaming in my memory (per one dream) is more like imagining things instead of actually physically feeling them if that's not exactly it. It's as though I'm just daydreaming but with my physical body being asleep. Back in 2008-2009 I tried lucid dreaming a bit too hard and when I attempted to lucidly walk in-dream I either fell over or woke up. However, I once managed to fly in-dream (I thought it would keep me aware that I was dreaming) and I also levitated through objects as though I was no-clipping in a computer game. |

I get LDs like that from time to time and so far nothing helps. I usually feel very dizzy, and like I can not even look away the slightest bit from the current view / position of the scene or I will lose it, and it takes my full force of will to maintain it. Those LDs usually end in seconds. Luckily it doesn't happen all that much and most LDs come either stable already or a little bit dizzy but a quick hands rubbing usually takes care of that. |
