blackouts in dream

[xristosx]

it seems so far that when i have a series of lucid dreams at one time (i.e 4 lucid dreams in 1 night - this has happened twice so far) that most of the first few ones end in me walking from my starting position and after i relise im lucid a few seconds later a darkness go's over my vision and then the same situation repeats a few times and then i get a normal lucid where it wont black out atleast until the end of the dream now my question is, is there anyway to stop this black out because i try to speak out loud but something stops me ( i have trouble talking in lucid dreams my first speech in a lucid dream is very low volume and then its fine after a first word beside that ), is there any method to stop this besides rc's, does yelling out something help? concentrating hard? please give me some advice because i would like to have all my lucids go long if im able to help it

That's quite the problem you have there. Hmmm. I assume you 'wake up' in your room in the dark. Instead of trying to speak, use your mind to speak. Scream out in your mind for Clarity or for Light and maybe that will eliminate the darkness. Maybe a light left on somewhere. Or put some thing that represents light next to your bed. When you 'wake up' in that situation reach over and touch the 'light thing' to chase the darkness away. Don't know. Just grasping at straws here. I'm sure that once you start LDing more often that those false awakenings will gradually diminish.

The blackouts, do they happen at the end of the lucid dream? If yes, then it may just be the dream ending and you waking up. Nothing bad really it just happens. However if you want to fight to stay in the dream then I suggest you try a stabalising technique such as rubbing your hands.
