So, my questions.
how do i lucid dream? and how do i not wake up once im aware that i am dreaming? i have a good imagination while day dreaming..but at night when im trying to sleep. nothing happends it just keeps me awake.

Welcome to DV! To learn how to Lucid Dream you need dedication. This isn't something learned over night and everyone has different learning curves. It might take a day for you to get Lucid intentionally, or it might take weeks. Check out the different tutorials here: DV Tutorials - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Specifically look at DILD, MILD and WILD. Those are the main techniques used to get Lucid. Also start writing down your dreams to improve your recall.

Just imagine yourself becoming Lucid, what you would do if you did. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Welcome Mickay, yeah i would agree with Matte, It takes time and patience and if you have those then your half way there, you wont learn overnight but with practice you will get more and with effort you will learn how to make them last longer and also learn controll...good luck

Breathe deeply as soon as you realize you are dreaming. Deep breathing calms you and your breathing is one of the few things that you can control in your dreams. 5 minutes is pretty good starting out. Eventually with more practice they will get longer.

One thing that worked for me when I was younger was learning that what I wanted or thought would come to be. How I did this, more by accident then practice, was that when I thought of anything terrible that I DID NOT want to happen it would happen, kind of a murphy's law effect. I would think "gosh I really hope a zombie doesn't start chasing me" and then boom! it would happen. Eventually I figured out that I could do this for positive things. Soon it became "gosh I really hope a zombie doesn't start chasing me" followed by "ok how about the ability to control fire to take care of said zombie." Hope this helps!
