Hi there,

I started getting serious about lucid dreaming bout a month ago. Since then Ive achieved 9 lucids. All of them I just realized I was dreaming which I'm fine with. Unfortunately all of them were short and fairly...vague If you will. I remember them all well so that's not a problem. My problem is the fact that they were all so short and I couldn't do much really. So, you experienced fellows out there, how many lucids did it take you before you gained an enjoyable level of control and vividness? I realize perhaps it may not be possible for me to gain full control and extreme levels of vividness but I think I'm capable of improving however marginally on my previous levels of lucidity. Perhaps autosuggestion helps with this? I personally havnt seen much results from A. Suggestion but I might have given up on it to quickly. And also, are dilds always very short? It's hard to tell if I'm waking up from excitement or the dreams just at a finish. I naturally wake up after dreams and I can easily keep my eyes closed so obviously I've attempted deilds. But on each attempt, I lay there for a bit and suddenly I start to feel very hot and get pins and needles all over. Is that just how SP feels? Perhaps I just need to fight through it. Thanks for any advice!!
