I was sooo close!

Hey everyone!. I was so close to having a lucid dream today, I was so annoyed with myself that I woke myself up!. I was tired since I stayed up so late and I had to wake up early around 3 I went into the lounge room and fell asleep, I kept having dreams here and there before I dreampt my phone rung, I picked it up and started talking but I wasn't holding a phone, it was a kong (a kong is a dog toy for those who don't know) so I said to myself 'Hold on, this is a dream, this is not a phone' and then as soon as I said this, I heard something say, or I said it to myself 'open your eyes' and so I did, stupidly so I obviously woke up. A well, atleast I know lucid dreaming is still possible for me!.

Well technically, you did have a lucid dream. It was just really short. To increase it's length I'd recommend to never open your eyes. The one time I did this I too woke up immediatly. The first thing you should do is to stabalize yourself by taking a moment to take in your surroundings and I reccomend that during this time you rub your hards together hard so you can really feel the friction in your hands. This will help you to stay awake longer.

I guess it was a lucid dream, I never thought of it that way, lol. Thanks. I will rub my hands together next time, thanks!. I was so annoyed that I let myself open my eyes, I don't know why I did this. This was my 2nd lucid dream then, the 1st one was defiantly the better one, lol.

Practice makes perfect. I think everyone has atleast woke themselves up during a lucid dream and wanted to punch themselves for it later. Keep up the good work.
