Hi! How hard have you been trying for the past 6 months? It's very individual how fast we learn, but anyone can do it. I'm sure that when you find the technique that suits you, you will have Lucid Dreams more frequently. |

Started attempting to become lucid about six months ago. I just had my fourth lucid dream. But the first that I was able to stay in the dream. When I realized I was dreaming after a reality check, I felt that I was melting. In my previous ld's, my attempts at staying by feeling my arm or some other sensation didn't work, This time, I started spinning. It felt like I was spinning in slow motion, but when it stopped, I was still dreaming, but in another setting. Though, I think I lost lucidity because after I woke up, I realized I was just walking around and doing things like it was just normal reality. I wouldn't even have woken up if someone didn't knock on my door and woke me up. I think. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. |

Spinning makes me lose lucidity. Try staring at your hands once you realize you're dreaming, I use this to increase clarity and stability. Grasping items or running your hands under water helps too. It's all about stimulating your senses and staying focused. |

I got my first ld about 1 or 2 months after starting. Using periodic reality checks about every hour or less. It was memorizing. When I became lucid, everything became intensely bright. The walls and ceiling was blasting with colors. Then I woke up. I didn't become lucid again till about 2 months later. I think my periodic rc's became less frequent and I got distracted and it affected it. I started intensifying again recently. I learned about rubbing hands or holding my forearm to feel the sensation of my skin but it didn't work for me. Things just faded away and I woke up. One time after realizing lucidity, I actually fell down on my rump in a corner and I woke up. I guess I had to control my excitement. This last time was the only time I remained in the dream by spinning. The setting changed, and I was still in the dream, but I think I lost lucidity. My recall has become very good lately. I slacked off for a while with my dream journal but was still recalling most dreams very well. And some are doozies as far as the strangeness. When awoken, I beat myself up sometimes about not realizing it saying, "how could u not know THAT was a dream?" But I'll try the grasping of things or rubbing my hands next time. I also read about spinning and repeating the words, "this is a dream". Thanks for your help. |
