seeking adice on how to stay Lucid

yesterday afternoon i decided to take a short nap during which I experienced my first lucid dream. I have been researching this phenomenon for some time now and have just realized how amazing it feels. Once I realized I was dreaming I tried to stay calm hoping I would not wake from the excitement. I felt the dream start to fade so I performed the classic dream spinning, which might I say is not easy. As I started to spin I attempted to recall a specific event that occured the day before while I was at work. Upon finishing my spin routine I discover I am unable to open my eyes,in the dream of course, so I continued to try but I got the same results, so I decided to forfeit and wake up. So my question is, "Can anyone give me advice on another technique to remain Lucid."



Thank you

The most common technique is the one u used, spinning. To avoid the fading away you need to make the dream stable. You can also look at the floor in the dream (one of the most stable elements of most dreams) or you can rub your hands together, cuz somehow the sensation of friction also makes the vividness of the dream come back.
Hopes it helps :wink:

Just keep moving and dont stare at the same place for to long. Also if you can try to forget your dreming but dont forget that you can do anything just make your self beleive you cant be woken up or that your in real life but you have special powers.

Welcome to the forum! We hope that you enjoy your stay!
Just always be somewhere or try to do something that you wouldn't normally do in real life! :D
