A Young'n?

Hi guys, I've read about this website before, and thought I should join the forums now that I have a reliable broadband provider.

I'm only 16 :o and have had quite a few lucid dreams in the past, but I constantly have the same problem, which is waking within seconds of achieving lucidity...

Only once have I tried the spinning method, which just made everything blank. I was still dreaming, but without being able to see anything, which is a bit weird. I haven't tried a method yet to ahieve lucidity, normally it comes to me naturally. But recently I haven't been getting that, so I figured I should start using methods in order to get it back.

That's all I have to say really. :D

Welcome to the forum. You're older than me, as I'm only 15. You're problem is quite common. I actually suffer from it, and it happened to me last night. You'll get over it :D I hope you find what you need here.

Hey, 16 isn't young. I'm 13, the youngest you can be on ANY forum!

But, welcome!

Jarrhead and Noogah share your youth, Portalboat.
^I'm just practicing names XD

But, yeah, welcome! And I'm 15 like Conkt, so...you're old....O_o

jk, jk. I'm hiper.
I hope you'll overcome that 'becoming awake as soon as I gain lucidity'. Happens to everyone :)

Turn of events, eh? :)

Hi Rezzo! Welcome to the forums. :D


For me personally, spinning doesn't work. That's weird thing about dream control--most of what we know is just stuff that works for the majority of people, or things people have tested/tried on their own. So you may have to try different things until you find something that works for you.

When it comes to keeping the dream stable, next time you can try rubbing your hands together (in the dream) or touching objects in the dream--the ground, if nothing else is around. The idea is to keep your mind on your dream senses, and not your physical body. :)

Also, be sure to check out our tutorial section. Most of what is there are instructions on how to get lucid, but there are tutorials for things like flying and dream control too.

Then of course there's my tutorial, which is kind of an overview of lucid dreaming... ;)

Thanks Naiya, I'll be sure to try rubbing my hands next time, but I'll have to try my hardest to remember. I'll also get on to reading both of those articles. :p

Woah there are a lot of younger people here... I thought I would be one of the only people under 20 here (being 15) but anyways this may seem weird but the very few times I have had a lucid dream (on purpose) after trying spinning around and rubbing my hands I randomly thought up (being in a dream were everything seems like a brilliant idea at the time) patting my head while rubbing my stomach, you know the thing everyone probably learned in elementary school. It helped for me but I have NEVER heard anybody else mention it ever so IDK if it would work for you, but I thought I would just try to give you an idea that's new and is NOT on every single website about lucid dreaming out there.
