it looks like the prolonging technique I called “to take the dream for granted” in this post. It’s very difficult to explain. In a LD, you generally want to grasp things with your attention, so that they won’t flee. But you don’t do this IRL, you take reality for granted: reality won’t flee. It’s the same thing in LD’s. I didn’t know it could be used as an induction technique in LD’s.

Less lucidity makes your dreams less realistic, thus more fantastic. You have less free-will but you have more super-powers.
