So last night I know that I had a LD, but hardly remember. I do recall knowing it was a dream and being in a room almost completely dark (maybe just all dark). Then I remember doing a reality check, but I can't even remember witch one. After that, realizing how unstable the dream felt, I tried to stabilize by rubbing my hands, and doing more RCs. I'm not sure how this turned out though. Eventually I tried to go to a new location, so I looked around, and noticed this corner of my dream, that was peeling up almost like an old page in a book. And out of that corner really bright light began shining out. I couldn't see anything else, and assumed that a new world was behind this really dark scene. I went over to the corner, and began pulling it up, but almost instantly began loosing lucidity, and felt my self waking up. I decided to stop, and tried to find another way out, but just couldn't keep my lucidity. I kept lapsing in and out of lucidity, but eventually just lost it. The reason I'm posting this is because I'm asking, how do I prevent my LDs from being so short and low quality? I've had 5 so far, but all have turned out basically the same in terms of ending very shorltly, and me not being able to do much.
