Hi everyone

I've been getting into lucid dreaming lately, and I'm able to induce them if I get enough sleep using reality checks. My problem is that once I become lucid, I can only stay lucid for 10 seconds or so. I feel the dream fading away and nothing I do helps. I've tried hand rubbing and dream spinning, neither of which seem to work in extending my LDs. Is this a common problem for new LDers? Would it help if I used some other induction techniques?

Any help you can give me concerning making my LDs longer would help alot

Thanks
