i have little trouble now becoming lucid (always DILD) as i do it most nights, but my LDs are very short and dim and boring. they seem even worse than regular dreams. ive tried yelling things like ‘increase vividness’, which has worked on one occasion, but has not extended a dream. ive begun to think that maybe the dreams end and i wake up because i stop moving in the dreams and just lie still. but basically, my LDs seem very sensitive and fragile. is there anything at all i can do to fix this?
Ah yes—and with these lame dreams comes the disappointment that they aren’t what people seem to experience all the time. I’ve heard far too many stories from people that as soon as they became lucid, everything became incredibly vivid; more so than real life itself. Aaaaaaaaaand, that never happened to me. No—it has, but only in a select few of my more memorable lucid dreams. Plenty of them have been mundane, even boring, but at least I was glad to be lucid at all! 
All you can do is stick to the adage that practice makes perfect, and don’t forget your vitamin B6! 
(It makes dreams more vivid).
ha. the b6. ive been taking multivitamins and eating total for months now. doesnt seem to help. maybe i should overdose, ha!
What foods have vitamin b6 in them?
“Vitamin B6 is prevalent in both animal and vegetable food sources. Liver, chicken, fish, green beans, field salad, wheat germ, nutritional yeast, sea vegetables and bananas are particularly good food sources.”
wikipedia. its also in potatoes and im sure in a lot of other foods. its in the multivitamin that i take. 
Bananas too.
Months! Of course it won’t help once you’re taking them for months. Once you start taking it regularly, it won’t have as much of an effect on your dreams, or so I’ve heard. There was something I heard about your body accepting it all as a norm after repeated uses, and therefore the effect won’t be so profound.
For example, sometime last year I ate a banana, which I haven’t eaten much of in ages. This was before going to sleep, and it was that night that I had intensely vivid dreams—not even the kind of night where you wake up and think, oh, wasn’t that something? No, this was one incredibly long, detailed dream that blew my mind, and took two hours to write when I suddenly woke up at three in the morning. The experience was incredible, and the dream was too vivid to have been coincidental. Nowadays I eat bananas all the time and nothing!
It could just be possible that you’re in a bit of a dryspell for lucid dreams at the moment, and that it will eventually pass. crosses fingers 
damn longterm healthy diets…
At least you’re getting lucid, even if they’re low-level, so consider yourself lucky. Some of us can’t even get that far. I had one LD 2 years ago but I still haven’t given up on my hopes for more.
ya, i guess i cant complain, but if there is a fix, its definitely something id wanna look into.
