Thread: Fading dreams

Hi, long time no see.

I've haven't been working on my LD skills for months now, but seem to

have random LDs about once a month.

I've had about 6 LDs since I've joined this forum, and almost every time

the dream started to fade instantly after I become lucid.

(once I started running around killing people, and then I fell asleep, can't remember when I lost lucidity. I had very low control but was definately lucid)

This morning I had another LD, which started as a vivid dream, then I

naturally realized it was a dream. (none of the techniques worked for me
I just seem to realize it's a dream)

as soon as I became lucid, the dream started to fade again. I already

had LDs before, so I was very calm and everything, I just didn't understand

why my dream was fading. I immediately tried the hand rubbing thing,

and kept telling my self "this is a dream". but it didn't work. so I tried to

focus on something, but everything was kinda unclear. (not blurry, but unclear, with bright spots, the kind you see when your dizzy)

then I closed my eyes (BIG Mistake!) and tried to change the environment

when I opened my eyes I was in my room. But it still kinda felt like a dream

so I tried to change the environment again, and I saw a half-piece of a

red coat floating in the air. (I don't know why) and I woke up for good.

even spinning didn't work for me before.

maybe I should try the shouting thing. ("Super Lucidity!!!")

see ya!
