But my problem is that I cant do anything to stay in the dream. I wake up right after I know im dreaming. Is this normal?
Man I feel for ya

Last night have my fourth or fifth LD realization that just slipped away from me right after wards. In the morning I can remember having that moment of "hey this is a dream" for reasons that shouldn't have even mattered compared to the more obvious evidence I'm not even considering such as being at a house I moved out of years ago. The reason last night was I couldn't catch the little arson kids who were burning my garage (the second time that night lol). Other times I have just realized I'm dreaming for no apparent reason at all (no reality check).

Anyway I had two excitement "i'm dreaming" wake ups on my first night of LDing, then nothing for 2+ months. And then I starting having shorty LDs that keep slipping away for some reason so.. That brings us up-to-date on the ironlung story. Keep up the practice and you'll probably surpass me.
