Stabilization

The act of grounding oneself to the dream in order to keep the dream stable and prevent premature awakening. Popular ways of stabilization consist of exercises like:

- Interacting with the dream world (by making use of senses)
- Focusing attention in one particular element of the dream
- Spinning (which might end up revealing a new dream scene)
- Looking intensively at one's hands or body parts
- Doing verbal commands (yelling "Stabilize now!", etc.)
