Staying Lucid

I started to become lucid last night in a dream. I was driving in a car as the passenger with my father and for no apparent reason i knew it was a dream. I then sort of teleported to my basement, and things were shakey and there was witing on some pipes that wasnt normally there (the writing i mean) Now i was sleeping in my basement at the time. Could i have been awake slightly? I tried to close my eyes and vision myself some where else but couldnt everything stayed shakey and i woke up. Any tips for better control?

Well, to become more lucid, a great method is focusing on an object. I just close my eyes and picture my hands in front of me. Slowly, they actually appear and come into focus. It works great with prolonging a dream, too. ;)

Don't focus on a digital clock though. lol It'll start going all weird.

Several tips:

Rub your hands together

Rub yoru hand against an object in the dreamscape

Yell: "increase Lucidity" and "Prolong Lucididy" or "Stop Time"

Spin

thanks for the tips ill give it a try next time one comes about

ooh new idea rubbing hands on something


ive tried alot of stuff and it hasnt worked for me yet

im hoping with more frequency of lucid dreams it will happen naturally

Yelling, "CLEARER LUCIDITY DAMMIT!" has worked wonders for me, but I guess you can take out the dammit but cursing at myself motivates me :?

yelling out to myself doesnt work for me.heck i dont think ive had a lucid dream before to try those methods,but im still trying.

dont blink



and when you do, and find yourself in the real world, just go to sleep again, i got a REALLY long ld with this,,,
