Hello, I'm new to this site and I've joined because of a strange occurrence I had last night, and I believe it was the beginning of a lucid dream. I was dreaming of trying to get to my French class in school while trying to carry several heavy backpacks, I won't bore you with the details and I'll get straight to the point. I was at a point in my dream where I was in a never ending hallway and I dropped the bags and got worried that I would be late, so I went back to get them, but then I thought "Hey, this is a dream. Screw this!" and suddenly everything felt so real and I started moving forward and jumped, that is when I started levitating a bit, and I guess the excitement woke me up then (and yes it was a real awakening, I preformed a reality check). I want to know some tips on how to keep myself lucid for longer periods of times, any help?
