I'm able to WILD but the problem is being able to stay in the dream, I already look at my hands to do a RT when dreaming and to pull myself in. But, the dreams never seem to last long. How can I "cage" myself into a lucid dream for a long time?

One thing that helps to keep me locked in dream is to really look at the surroundings in the dream before getting too excited or trying to do any out of this world stuff.
phonix, for those new to lucid dreaming, I advise that you don't try to set the lucid world on fire your first few dreams.. don't try to do too many tricks, summon people, etc. Simply go with the flow and take it all in. Get used to what being lucid FEELS like so you can ground yourself in your dreams.. that's when the tricks/stunts can happen.
Your first few dreams simply act like a tourist in a new place.. go sightseeing and take in all the different colors and sounds. You may try to increase your vividness by confidently declaring "increase lucidity" or "clarity now" but that would be the extent of control I would recommend for struggling dreamers.
I still have to remind myself the moment I become lucid to get "grounded" in my dream (i.e., make it as lucid as it could be) instead of immediately racing to do something before I lose lucidity.
One of the tricks I use to "ground" myself is to "touch" things. By touching.. I mean really "feeling" them. Get into how they feel.. are they hot, cold, smooth, rough, etc. (this also helps me remain in the dream longer).
Just remember that "the deeper the level of lucidity.. the better your lucid experience should be".
Wow calm down clairity your on fire lol. Thx
I also have this problem. I have many lucids, but none last for more than a few minutes. I'll try your tips Clairity, thanks.
