hi everyone its cool to finally find a place to ask questions and share experiences.

I had a question, do you guys ever become lucid for a while then blink and wake up?

I dont know if it only happens to me because when I was a kid i came up with a way to wake myself up out of a bad dream. I would blink 3 times. it only worked when i did it 3 times not 2 not 1. But i've been lucid in dreams before and i can go about my business but as soon as i blink, i wake up. What is my problem? I have never had a lucid dream for longer than a few minutes, or atleast as long as i could keep myself from blinking.

Blinking sucks. and the the thing is when i realize i am dreaming the first thing that happens is i blink, i dont know if its instinct because i only did it when i was a kid. But i dont even have to blink 3 times to wake up. It sucks cuz i cant really do much and for some reason its hard not to blink. lol any similar experiences?
