Well im new here but i know i have been having lucid dreams for years (im only 16) but as much as i love it, i cant quite grasp the time thing. if i try and do too much, my mind realises im awake and the rest of my body follows you know? id be lucky if i made it over 5 or 10 minutes in a lucid dream. i know if i slow down a bit i can make it last a little longer, anyone else have any tips?

If you mean that you are starting to focus on your real body and not your dream one, then I've heard that what to do is to spin in your dream/rub your hands. This focuses your senses in your dream and helps you to stay in your dream longer.

Also, if you know you're going to wake up from a lucid dream, you can sit perfectly still for when you wake up, stay still and keep your eyes closed and you will still be in sleep paralysis so you can easily get into another lucid dream (DEILD).

Stay calm ever time you start to get over excited remind yourself to calm down a little bit, maybe spend some time stabilizing the dream when you become lucid, rub your hands together, spin, and start using your senses to stabilize the dream. anything else i can think of i'll add it but more people will be along soon to add there advice, welcome by the way!!
