Hey, no worries as this is common for first few times. There are many methods for extending lucidity and I encourage you to browse our tutorial section and other sections for them. I can start you off with one technique which has worked for me and is one of the best to use, and that is next time you become lucid take the time to look at your hands and study them. If you ever feel the lucidity slipping away, rub them together.

The point is to keep your mind focused on one thing at a time and to also give your mind some sensory imput so that it stays focused on things happening WITHIN the dream and not so much with your physical body lying on the bed.

If there is anything you would like to ask in private, feel free to PM me or any of the staff members (preferably Dream Guides) and we'd be happy to help you out.

Good luck and I look forward to hearing more about your lucid experiences!
