Eyes closing

Quest for Lucidity
1

I’ve gotten pretty good at remembering to do the nose-pinching reality check and when I realize I’m dreaming, grabbing on to something (I manage to do this every time now), but I’ve run into another problem.

Everything in the dream will be blurry, my eyelids will feel heavy and I can only resist for a short time before they close completely. Once they close, I’m awake again.

Any tips/idea as to what I’m doing wrong?

There are a few things you can try. First off is rubbing your hands together. This distracts the mind, because it has to re-create the sensation. Second, try spinning around in a circle. Same as the first. Third, when you are still in the dream, shout something like “Keep dreaming” or “increase lucidity” or similar.
