Good point Pilot! Try the spinning technique…it often also changes the scenery of your surroundings in a dream…and that makes it so easy to know that its a dream (a lucid one)…u can even try the spinning tech and at the same time say were u want to be or just say loud an association…like…“ICE CREAM”…Start experimenting with this…i think in your case psychichawk28 the spin tech is the best solution to deal with Fa!
Have gun!
I DID have a LD two nights ago! O the power of self confidence. I don’t remember much of it but this is what i do;
Okay I remember in this dream I was on the roof of a building, and I saw three elevators and I wanted to go up to the third floor. I pushed the button to go up but the elevator buttons were all weird and they glowed different colours and there was too many. I looked away as I waited for an elevator to come and I started to realize something was wrong when I saw the sky above me. Than as I got in and went up to the third floor I said to myself “wait a second, how can I go to the third floor when there was sky above me?” Then when I got to the third floor I realized “I’m dreaming! This is a lucid dream”… Then I woke up AGAIN . Oh well. I’ll get it eventually…
There’s your problem.
If you get too excited when you become lucid, you’re going to wake up. I can’t verify it, but I’m fairly sure that when you become lucid in a dream, you are actually quite close to waking up.
Mm Atheist is right…if u compare an eeg from a normal dream with that of a lucid dream u c that a lucid dreram has more beta waves then an eeg from a normal dream…
Beta waves we have when we are awake…so yes a lucid dream is closer to waking up then a normal dream.
Maybe Psychichawk28 u should do a training in waking at what u should do in a ld…I mean train your reaction…to not get that excited…but experience…just observe…and stay calm…repeat that to yourself to stay calm in a ld in waking state…again and again…a couple a times a day…
Yeah, I know. I think when I first become Lucid I don’t have much controll over myself or my reaction. But that training thing sounds good Jeff I’ll try that.

I think this is normally very true in a ld!
But there are exceptions like when i practise meditation or self hypnosis in a ld…It works great. I think the trick here is that u then deeply relax but at the same time are fully focussed with awareness.
So Keep focussed!
Wow! Another LD. My fivth since October 12. That’s one a week! I’ve been making good progress here but still no lasting dream…
I was playing computer, and the text was upside-down the computer was also too squareular. I checked if the computer was upside-down and it wasn’t and when I looked back, the words were right again. I thought this is weird it’s like when I remember what it should be like it fixes…almost like… I looked at my hands. The back was okay but when I turned them around it was all blurry and the end of my right pinky was missing. I stayed calm and started to spin but it faded out again.
I think part of the reason was my LD happened very late in the morning so I was really cloce to waking up. I’m getting clocer though…
Another LD! Two nights in a row now! BUT I STILL CAN’T STAY ASLEEP!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Okay, I’m calm now…I think I should try to refrain from saying the word “dreaming” in my dreams because when I wake up, it’s allways right after I say “I’m dreaming” or “this is a dream” or anything simmilar. Maybe if I just think it, but not say it…
I’m remembering to stay calm, and be aware of my surroundings, but I still KEEP WAKING UP!!! Has anyone else had this problem?
wow, congratz!!! two in a row! thats great. good luck with your not-awake-thing, just keep trying…
I think PsychicHawk28 that you are getting lucid just before waking up…so your dream needs just a minor push from your consciousness to wake up, in your case…
So i think the solution in your case is u should sooner in dream time recognize your dreaming and get lucid…
U can accomplish this by training in waking that when u do daily routines u look at what you are doing and also look around u and say “He? iam dreaming…wow what real this is…its a dream” and also read about lds…books i mean before going to sleep…so your memory while u dream is more easely activated or stimulated to recognize its a dream!
Good Luck!
So PsychicHawk28 you need to pick up sooner being aware that u have a dream and get lucid so u have more ld time left in your dream…But just by having lds that recognision process will be activated and skilled anyway, just needs time…
Go 4 it!
Yeah, that sounds right. I will get it eventually.
I’ll have a lucid dream tonight.
I DID have a lucid dream two nights ago! In fact I had one last night too! That writing to convince yourself really works! The first one was my usual wake-up-when-i-realize but the second one lasted!!! YAY!!! !!! It was only a low-level LD tho, because in the dream I didn’t take direct controll over myself 'cause I thought if I did I might wake up. I’m making progress tho.
I am going to have a LD Tonight.
(Hey, it worked the last two times, didn’t it )
Congratulations PsychicHawk28!
C…your making progress!
Good!
YAY! Another LD. Long Lasting, and clear it was. I wasn’t in that much controll over myself, tho, and I lost lucidity after about five to ten minutes. But I was in controll enough to fly. WOO! FLYING IN DREAMS IS THE BEST!!!
I’m going to have another LD tonight.
Nice work PsychicHawk28…u will get control in time…first start with joy!
So keep flying lol!
Two More LDs in a row, one wake up as soon as I realize, the other lasted medium length; about thirty seconds. I’ll get it soon.
C u improve fast!
Congratulations…
Yay! My first long-lasting, clear and good controll LD! Go me! I’d like to thank everyone who poasted here I couldn’t have done it without you. Read about my dream in the Dream Diary section.
