Everytime i become lucid in a dream the dream stops and its nothing but black. So theres nothing for me to explore so then i try all those different techniques like spinning and stuff and eventually i just wake up. Does anyone else have this problem sometimes?
oh yes! I’m sure everyone who has some experience with LDing has had this experience before. It happens to me quite often 
It’s really annoying but you are really close so just try and force yourself into a dreamplace, maybe shut your eyes and tell yourself when you open them you will be ____. I know that with practice you’ll be able to LD without the blackness!
