My fourth lucid since findin' this community

[Ghaerdon]

Okey, so I found myself playing Tic Tac Toe against my schoolmate... Well he won the match, and I began to wonder if this is all just dream... I did the reality check... I checked my hand, and my index finger was blood-red. Well, I became lucid. This is the first lucid in which i tried to do something... I wanted to fly, but I was inside a house. Then, because of the excitement, lucid faded. Any ideas to stabilize my dreams?

congrats on your lucid-ness....i am sure there will be many more to come.... I had a conversation with a DC in a LD one time... She told me that the reason I kept slipping out of LD's was because my mind was still adjusting to the sensation, and that the more time I spent in LD's the quicker my mind would get used to it. So I've kinda stopped worrying about it, and when I make it to an LD I usually just take it slow and enjoy it. I still slip out randomly, but the durations have been getting progressively longer. Otherwise, people say that yelling, "Clarity Now!" or some sort of vocal command helps. Rubbing hands, spinning in circles, smelling stuff, drinking \ tasting stuff, etc etc. Trigger your senses.
