short lasting LD

i have probably had 6 ld in the time i have been trying to lucid dream. This is probably over a period of 1-2 years( i had a long break for a while)…
anyway i had another one last night (and almost the night before, but missed out) and i felt the vibrations as i usually do and then a little while after i just rolled out of bed. I then immedietly held my nose and tried to breathe out, in which i did. i was lucid. however it was a very short ld (like all the other ones i have had too). I tried to imagine seeing someone behind me so i looked around and my bed changed, but she didnt appear. Then it just kind of ended. i can’t remember how it ended though

i get really fustrated when i become lucid but it only lasts for 10 seconds.
Is there any new mothods of getting around this problem?
i thought it is suppose to last longer each time you are lucid?!?

thre is a possibillity that you ehere lucid longer but just could not remember it.

i remembered my dream later that night though. im quite sure it stopped there coz i do remember that it actually stopped if you know what i mean.
and i remember every dream i have every night aswell… just they are very rarely lucid

Exidez do you practise any techniques to prolong the LD? Like rubbing hands, focussing on objects, spinning? If not, try it.

i usualy foget by the time it is over :sad:
but i will try my best to do it next time when ever that is…

I need to try some of those things aswell, as my last three LD’s have been less than two mins long
