most of the times dreams last like 5 seconds then i wake up and its 6 am.... time for school . How do I lucidity. Truth is I cant have a stop watch because the alarm wil wake up my older brother and if i have a dream journal my older brother will make fun of me for having a diary. Is there any other way of ataining lucidity and how do i make dreams last longer.
kill your brother
You're telling me you don't want to keep a dream journal because "your brother will make fun of you for having a diary?"
You need to grow up. Who cares what other people think about you?
A couple friends found out about mine...It wasn't pleasant.Quote:

Express yourself with some dignity, having a dream journal is an important step.
As a beginner it will help you dramatically to contemplate in waking life if you are dreaming. The perfect environment is what you're trying to create, be as awake as you can be, and start building up dream signs and scenarios.
Everything can be a dream sign, just be aware and affirm the feeling that you are dreaming, and it will come to happen when you are asleep.
Also start going into sleep without chasing drifting thoughts, just the relaxing and tired feeling.
Avoid complacency with efforts and awareness in waking life, but don't take it too seriously, it's to set up the perfect setting for lucid dreaming and shouldn't affect what you do normally already - otherwise lucid dreams will not be what you wanted them to.
Good luck.
:lol: I wouldn't definitely NOT do that :PQuote:

My family thought it was funny that I was keeping a DJ, but, meh, it doesn't really bother me. Just make sure to put a lock on it if he's the type that will open it and read it even if you said it's private :P
Hah! But yes, I agree with this in all ways. :]Quote:

And even if your brother, or anyone else come to that, makes fun of you, you can ignore it with the knowledge that he simply doesn't and cannot understand, and you're superior because you're more open-minded about these things ;PQuote:

Actually seems like a good idea. Straight and to the point.Quote:
