Despite my best efforts to curb the use of this horrible technique, it still continues to ruin many good lucid dream. The dream journal section contains endless examples.

SPINNING SUCKS! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH IT!!!

50% of the time, the person trying it wakes up. Of the times they dont wake, half of those have unintended results that mess with your lucidity. I'm just guesstimating those figures, I suspect they are actually much higher.

For those who have tried spinning, I'd like to hear how many times you've tried it versus how many times it backfired. Then I can come up with a more accurate statistic of how unbelievable bad this technique is.

As for myself, I tried it 4 times, woke up each time. Perhaps I could get better with practice, but it's just not worth the effort. There are better things to do.
