Thread: What did i do wrong?

I had a lucid dream a couple nights ago and became lucid and started exploring my surroundings then attempted to vision my friend walking up to me, suddenly the dream started fading, was it my concentration on bringing my friend into the dream, or my excitement that i was lucid dreaming that ended the dream?

Lack of experience I'd say. Your dreams will get longer soon. It could also have been that it was just time to wake up. Did you have a fairly long dream before becoming lucid?

It might have been a combination of both those things.

Plus, as ninja9578 stated, it could also be your lack of experience.

Things should stabilize as you get more comfortable with being lucid in your dreams.

It was probably because you were excited. The first LD i had, didn't last very long. I've had ALOT but i mean they don't always last too long. Well, sometimes the dream lasts long but the lucidity doesn't.
