this was my 3rd LD. the whole night I told my self I would look at my hands and realize i was dreaming. I did it randomly in a dream and became lucid. i kept repeating I am dreaming. I am aware I am dreaming. and the next thing I know the dream faded into black and that was it. Am I getting close? Or am i still very far away from learning how to LD. All three of my lucid dreams didnt last very long...
I think that it's totally normal. My first 'long' LD (lasted for about a minute) came after about 3 or 4 short ones. I'm guessing something like that will happen to you as well.
I should really get back into all this LD-business. I was already pretty good at it, but then school started and I really didn't have that much time to keep on practicing. :(
SourCherryBoy is right, it's perfectly normal. May I recomend dream spinning though, I find that it really helps when trying to stay in a dream. Also, in time you'relucid dreams will last longer, heck now most of my lucids seem to last hours! Just keep trying. :)
