Thread: Problem with the length of an LD

This is only my 3rd lucid, and yes, I was trying to rush things. I felt it was ending too quickly and I was running out of time to do something so I tried to fly and ended up hitting the ground. (Without any pain oddly) I guess I just need the chill the hell out next time

Which is the way for most people, the longer the time period you have them for the longer they last. It takes time and practice. But it is important not to think as soon as you come lucid to try prolong it.

As I said earlier this was only my third, but they've all been like this. However, this one was the most hazy.
