Thread: Staying Lucid

Hey, i got interested in lucid dreaming after watching the movie 'waking life' last week (v. good movie if you havent seen it). Since then i have been reading up on it through various sites and tried a few methods. Ive had 2 sorta lucid dreams so far. Both were from reality checks. First was looking at my watch (which i dont have) in a dream and then decided to read it again, and then the whole face of the watch grew, and the thing started reversing round v. fast. I realised it was a dream, but then got excited and woke.
Last Night i had another after waking early, getting up for 15 mins and going back to sleep. I was in a room and looking at an old lady, and decided to look in the mirror for a reality check. She was a completely different lady in the mirror, and i realised it was a dream. I tried to keep calm, but to no success, the whole thing started fading. I tried spinning, but just woke up.
Any other tips in staying in the dreams?. started a journal last night and got 4 different dreams.. god some are wierd heh. .

Thanks
