My first, super short Lucid Dream.

[Komisoft]

I had a non lucid dream (which I didn't write down, so I'm a little fuzzy on) but I became randomly lucid after looking at my hands. I was sat in my car in the dreamscape, then I randomly had the urge to look at my hands. So I did, and became lucid. It lasted about 7-8 seconds because maybe I slipped back into a non lucid dream. So on to the dream. I tried to summon a unicorn outside my car but nothing happened...I then maybe woke up, FA'd (False awakened), slipped into a non lucid dream or maybe something else. My guess is that I lost hope of being in the dream because it felt too real to be a dream, although it was, then slipped into the non lucid dream. I was pretty dissapointed haha. That's about it! Thanks for reading

Welcome to Dreamviews, Lunatide! My first lucid dream was maybe 3-5 minutes long, you'll get better!

Congrats for your first short lucid dream.

Well if you were able to keep the dream stable for long enough to try to summon something on your first lucid - you're doing better than I am doing. My first two lucid dreams lasted less than two seconds before fading into different dreams. On my third lucid, I maintained lucidity long enough to try to summon a place - and fail. The verdict: You're doing great, keep it up!

That's good for your first lucid. Remember to take time to stablilise the dream and calm yourself down before trying anything, that way it will last longer

Thanks alot guys! Next time I will stable the dream. Would rubbing your hands together work? I heard it works. That or the spinning method

[Raspberry]

Yes it would work. Stabilisation works by using your senses and therefore securing yourself into the dream. Try and use all of them; smell things, lightly touch the object around you and listen to what's going on. You can even taste something if you're up to it. I ate chocolate cake once in a lucid and it tasted really good
