How to make LD more realistic?

Quest for Lucidity
1

Hi Friends,
I have had very short LD’s…Maybe for about 10 seconds or less. I usually find myself in an odd situation and realize i am dreaming without even performing RC. And i doubt whether it could be a false LD as my mind is obsessed with LD throughout my day time. What makes me think so is that the dream, when i am in LD, looks so dull and pales in comparison to real life. I can clearly distinguish from real life and also i feel senseless in dream when i am LD. Why is it so? How to make LD very realistic so as to get a feeling it actually happened in RL?

Thanks

Short LD’s tend to be less vivid since you’re nearly always in a state of waking up during them. Essentially, you’re seeing a fading dream. Ironically, the fact they are less vivid seems to contribute to them ending even faster.

A few things that worked for me are shouting “increases vividness,” putting on a pair of glasses and rubbing my eyes. It’s also important to anchor yourself by doing things like rubbing hands and repeating “I’m dreaming” or “this is a dream.”
