Problems with waking up just after going Lucid

**Nate** · 07-25-2010 03:29 PM

I have gone lucid in dreams twice. Each time was a false awakening but every time realize i am dreaming I have great clarity but after a few seconds I wake up from excitement. How do i keep myself in the dream?

This happens to a lot of people. When you feel like you are about to wake up, do a DEILD. Focus on keeping your eyes closed and not moving your body. You should go right back into the dream.

Cool, is it like a wild? Do I tell myself I'm dreaming or just lie there?

DEILDing's as Eppy said. Personally, as well as staying still and keeping my eyes closed, I focus on the tactile, visual, and auditory sensations of the dream I just came out of. For instance if I was on a beach, I imagine leaning over and feeling the sand. It helps trick your brain into thinking you're still asleep.
