Thread: Semi lucid and two questions.

Last night (i.e. a few hours ago ) I had a lucid dream with very low vividness. I can't recall all the details, but I think it started in some kind of "horror" format, with some small boy scared for his life. We entered this bus, and saw some other boy who looked half rotted/bloating (I know ... ) and for some reason I know I was dreaming.

To cut a short story shorter, I decided to use a power I'd always fancied using: phasing. I often imagine what it would be like to phase in "reality", and when phased out of the bus through its back window, I found it rather easy, despite the nagging fear that I wouldn't be able to do it, as I both know my times in a lucid state tends to be painfully short, and I also know that members of this forum often state how they have trouble acting omnipotently. Nevertheless, I successfully phased through the window, but then found myself transported to a very dim room. I recalled that some people say that rubbing your hands or spinning can help maintain a lucid state, and even increase its clarity (I actually think I heard someone yell it at me). I attempted to spin (as I couldn't find my hands, as strange as that might sound ... ) but I just couldn't get my body to move. It was shortly thereafter that I remember waking up ...

This brings me to my questions: First, do you often find that in a lucid dream something that you have imagined many times before and actually pictured yourself doing is easier to achieve in a lucid?

Second, how on earth do you "spin" in a lucid dream?
