varying stages of lucidityin a lucid dream is common for me, as is probably common for every body. but i have a trick that works well for me. i read several posts and people were complaining about there dreams being short , very chaotic and hard to control. i have a trick that alow you to (solidify) or ground yourself out inside your dream so that you have much better control

every one is familiar with looking at your hands as a signal or a cue to become consious inside a lucid dream. well this is not exactly how it works for me. somthing really wierd ussually happens and i relize i'm dreaming(one of the hardest parts) this is when i look at my hands( i think it can be any part of your body but my hands work the best) then i look out into the dream and find a object( it can be any thing in your dream) then i look at my hands again -then i look at that object( make sure that the object is the same)- then my hands- then the object. i do this several times and the dream becomes controlable.

heres my theory on how this works
when i am awake during the day i consider this solid time. every thing is set by laws that we can not change just manipulate. when i am dreaming, regular or lucid, i call this liquid time. laws dont nessisarilly apply. if you have ever noticed as soon as you look at somthing in a dream it begins to change . my hand technique stops or at least slows this effect down so you have beter controll

i hope this helps and hope to hear some feedback.
