Pathologically suspicious, he?

1. What is your favorite method for prolonging an LD?

Staring at my hands from time to time.

2. About how often/when do you have to use the method to keep the dream stabalized?

At the beginning of the dream, then when I feel the dream fade or I’m losing lucidity. Theorically, it would be every 30 seconds but either I don’t write this in my DJ or I don’t practice it in the way I supposed to.

3. What is the longest LD you have had that you believe is a result of your method?

30 minutes. By the way, I used in this dream 3 stabilizing techniques : staring at my hands, moving systematically my eyes from right to left and vice versa, taking the dream for granted (as you would do in reality).

4. For those who have LDs everynight: Do you still need to use the method or do LDs become more stable as a result of practicing lucid dreaming?

I don’t have LD’s everynight.

5. Were there any mental blocks that you had to overcome concerning prolonging LDs?

I had no mental block to overcome concerning prolonging LD’s.

6. On exciting activities (such as dream sex, exciting scenarios etc.): how does one prevent premature awakening?

I don’t know.

7. Is there a sort of cognitive stamina that builds as you have more and more LDs?

I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by cognitive stamina.

I would add that prolonging techniques seem to work cause my average LD duration is about 2 minutes but my average prolonged LD duration is 5 minutes.
