Hi. I've been lucid dreaming for about three weeks now. I've had about 12 lucid dreams so far, but I could never overcome the wall of premature awakening everytime I attempted to do something fun.

First thing I do after I extract my dream body from my physical body, I penetrate my left hand with my right fingers, then I start spinning rapidly with my arms stretched out. But even after spinning, my LD is not as vivid as I want it to be. I tried turning on the light switch in my room, but it is not working(my LD is always very dark.) That's pretty much it. Then I wake up.

Is there any suggestion what I should try next? 90% of my LDs are achieved thru MILD. I can barely get thru WILD, b/c I never see HI or succeed transition. Thx a lot for reading.
