A few weeks ago I had a lucid dream, my third, and my first controled one. Nevertheless I was dissapointed because I controled it only for a minute or so. My dream was very vivid and many elements came so it was extremely difficult to take my time, take a deep breath and stabilize. I lost consciousness when I even left my own body and the whole dream changed. For now stabilization is just secondary but I read a few tutorials since then.
I am working with a sort of mix of SAT and ADA right now by being aware at random moments in the day. I'll take my dream of this morning as an example why it works so bad for me:
I am on vacation right now so everyday of my life is more or less the same, not a lot of unusual stuff is happening, but in my dream I was in a plane that my father controlled from his seat and we flew at a low altitude following th streets. I was rarely in my body as I saw the plane from outside for the biggest part of it. There was no moment that looked like my life where I could have thought "Hm this might be a dream, let's check it!". This dream was not very vivid but I have this feeling that my dreams are too crazy for me to realize that I am dreaming. I keep myself motivated but the dream world is just so different from the reality...
