LD's- don't lose it, it's a delicate balance

Hi pee-poles

I must ask you hogen bogens if you ever expereinced something like this. Last night I dreampt I was in a large gymnasium, and the tex on the wall wasn't clear, so somehow I figured I was dreaming. I focused intently on holding onto it, reassuring myself that its my dream and that I can control it. Son though I felt it fading.

My problem is, it is like self-doubt, I want them so bad, it feels like I lose them, and their not vivid, and when I look at my hands, it seems to become so real and vivid for a few seconds, and intense that I lose it, its is so hard to find a balance and to really explore and enjoy.

Any suggestions or help I will greatly appreciate, since I think we all can benefit from learning to hang on to the LD's.

Do not get to excited and accept your lucid dream for what it is. Even if it is not very vivid or exciting it doesn't really matter the fact that you are having one is what is important. Once you are able to keep your "Dull" lucid dream steady this is what you should do to start off. Once you are able to keep it steady you should then begin to dry different things. But dont go overboard as this can cause undue stress and in turn end your dream entirely.

You are going to have to get rid of this "Self Doubt" and just go along with your dream and not get to excited or anxious as this will end your dream as well. You have to find your own personal delicate balance that works for you. Shouting commands like "Increase Clarity" "Increase Lucidity" "Increase Vividness" actually do work which is quite cool.

Just keep practicing with the small stuff and the bigger stuff will come natrually hope this helped.

lol too much commas haha. but yea what brandon said
