Thread: Novice lucid dreamer

Hi!
I am a new-comer to this board
and i have just started learning the fascinating lucid dream techniques...

gradually.....i began to know i was dreaming in dreams..
but when i realize it...the image immediately blackens....and then when i open my eyes....i found i have woken up..

and i also tried to use spinning.....but before i can use it, the image blackens immediately....

Any suggestion?

btw,
i would like to ask...
if i use lucid dreaming.....am I still resting?

or better to say....
if I have a lot of lucid dreaming in a night.....would it mean that I would be very tired on the next day?

thx
