Thread: Unique ways to Stabilize a dream/make it last longer

reach down and try to rub your feet. It worked a couple times for me

Stay calm and focused, is going to be the winner for me. Practicing meditation while awake helps.
Breath, and be aware of your breaths.

So in all, if you feel the dream fading stop what you are doing, take a deep breath, in the nose out the mouth, and look around you, be aware of what you can see and feel, don't try to change anything just relax.

This may help too, things NOT to do.
I found spinning dosent work for me at all just wakes me up.
Don't close your eyes.
Don't try to alter anything.
Don't get excited.

Heh, might as well share this here.
The other night I had a very long stint of lucidity, I was walking around a small town and the dream started to fade, I relaxed a bit took a few breaths and then decided to compress my focus, outside was too big, I went inside a small shop that looked interesting. It was a kind of new ageish, rocks and wicca kinda place. There was a lil old lady and another patron talking, the old lady said to have a look around.
I went into the back room and was looking about, the shop didnt have too much in it.
An idea struck me and I think I got a lil to excited about it because I could feel the dream destabilizing again. I went to the front room and asked the lady "Do you have anything that would help increase lucidity?" She looked at me puzzled for a moment rummaged in a shelf I had been looking at earlier and took out what looked like a carved pipe, "smoking through this will help you fall into a deeper sleep and may help you". I got a little frustrated because I didnt want the dream to end and I replied, "No no, I mean like right now" She looked even more confused and then seemed to get it but it was too late and I was waking up.

And whatever you do, do not taunt the happy fun ball.

EXPLAIN!!!

I can usually absorb electical currents from any outlet such as a wall plug, or in a couple of extreme cases drawn power from power lines.(I would not advise as such to just anyone. Past dabbling in meth and LSD I believe had prepared me for the rush.) This has kept me from waking and taken me farther into the dream. The hard part is controling the flow. And I tend to shape-shift during the channeling.

Or maybe experiences with meth and LSD created the memories for the rush in the dream.

I've used this method many times and as for the memories creating the experience. The usage and the memories are quite different and alot more bizzare. Take the physical experience and amplify the dream recall of life. But none the less it is lucidity which conjures such a recall. I alone comand such an event using life as a palate of colors to paint with. With of course much destrutive force.
