Hi i think the void don't mean you are going to wake up, but if this what i am saying is incorrect: |

So i get a moment of lucidity and something excites or distracts me. Suddenly the dream fades away and i'm lost in a black void. I have a few moments in time before I wake up. |

Like Nikakwa nicely said, lack of visual input doesn't mean that the dream is about to end. In fact, a much common characteristic of "about-to-collapse" dreams is when you start feeling your waking body (and still, that doesn't mean will/has to end!). |

so the plan is to hang out and chill out? Maybe stabilize? |

What I've found works best for me is flying my way out. If I find myself in the void I launch myself forwards superman-style imagining the sensations of flying (air moving, etc.). Others like to do silly dancing -- keeps your attention on your dream body. But the most important thing is not to expect it means the end of the dream: it does *not*. The important thing is to keep fighting to stay in the dream, and to expect that you will remain in the dream. |

Grab something or rub your dream hands! Keep feeling it and keep your mind on the feel. In 30 to 60 seconds your dream vision may "pop" back on. Last three dreams this worked for me. |

I usually do what Rothgar does, or I'll even just wander around until I see light. Usually I end up in a room of some type and the dream can continue. Just don't give up in the void. Think of it as a scene change, rather than a "Uh oh, gonna wake up now." |

Reading some robert Waggoner. . He talks about this very thing |
|
I enjoy the quietness of the void and I see it as just an intermission before the next scene. *What really helped me is something Sageous said about when feeling a dream fading: not following the normal path back to your waking body...it clicked for me and a number of times I remembered this and sort of stayed in the ether...in the dream realm and it seems to work quite well. |

What i usually do while in the void, pick any direction and run like you have never ran, push your self beyond normal means, i even try to bend the void so o can move even faster, as i run i keep my vision ahead untill... imagery starts to form ahead of me, its normally a neighborhood at night. Another way i left the void, i turned my self to fire and got thrown out, but i only did that once so do not know how relieable it is. |

This might sound weird, but I go all Genesis-style when that happens, since the void reminds me of Genesis (It says "Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep") If "Let there be light!" doesn't work, though it usually does for me, I just keep going through all six days and build up the world from there. |

Haha guys, these suggestions are so cool and creative! |
|
These are awesome. The main takeaway I'm having is that step one is remain calm and be patient. after that.. you have imagination and some great starter ideas for what comes next. |
