Thread: Keeping lucidity

Hi, iv been having lucid dreams for a year now. However im having trouble staying lucid for more then 30secs at the time. everything allways seem to go black at that point, and i loose contact with the dream. i try the usually stuff to stay lucid, sit down and concentrate on an object, and feel its shape and all that. but still after about 30seconds everything seems to go in black. even tho i usually get into a new lucid dream right away, its kinda annoying that this happens all the time.

any tips on how i can make the lucid dreams last longer?

thanks

You can try spinning, but it will change the dream. So remember to remind yourself that you're dreaming as you spin. You can also rub your hands to increase clarity.

iv tried the handrubbing and the spinning. the hand rubbing doesnt help me much. and the spinning often makes the dream go black and throw me out =(

iv allso tried something i read here or at another forum. telling yourself that this will be a long lucid dream and so on, didnt really help much either

A good way is to stop being too excited, just relax yourself.

yea, i figure that can be one of the reasons i fall out. iv been having lds for a year, but still everytime i get into one i start thinking abotu what kinda girls to get it down with lol. any tips on how to relax myself within a LD?

Lol same here. I don't know what to do to relax since i only have had two lucid dreams. I would just try to take things a bit slower. I hope this helps, Exhalent.
