Thread: How do I make my dreams last longer?

Thanks for the clarification on the blackout thing.

And okay. Well, besides looking at the hands like Hilary suggested, rubbing them together can help too. From your original post I get the impression that you can't predict when this issue will actually happen/begin whilst you're dreaming, do you think it might help to perhaps remember to stabilise before you actually really needed it? That is to say, to sort of stabilise "early".

I thought that's what I was doing. As soon as I enter the dream i begin stabilizing myself but the dream ends before I can finish, I guess. I'm stimulating all my senses and usually my sense of touch doesn't really do much for me. I've tried rubbing my hands together in the past and nothing really came of it; same with touching things in my environment. It worked for a little but got diminishing returns really fast for some reason. Like, I'd be rubbing my hands together, and then the dream would clear up very slightly and then just end.
