mothman, it sounds to me like you were naturally using chaining (link). Usually very short LDs are due to being new to lucidity and the excitement waking the dreamer up. There are several methods of prolonging LDs … rubbing your hands together, touching/feeling objects in the dreamworld, pausing and focusing on one thing in the dream, using vocal commands (this last one always works), some also like the spinning tech - but this can backfire and just give you a false awakening

Hi everyone, Im new here, tried to register a week ago but I guess my aol email wasn’t having any of this site. so yeah after having a dream I decided I would reregister. I just got interested in lucid dreaming about a week or two ago. Found this site one night and and actually prevented myself from sleeping, because i had a gut feeling I was going to get a nightmare and I was really tired so it was going to last a long time. anywho thats me about LD, I love sports(Titans/Jazz) and video games(360) so thats something about me me. anyway im done rambling. heres to LDing for all of us.

im new and really glad to be apart of this community! I am really looking forward to LD because its pretty much the most amazing thing that can be comprehended by your mind! The reason i know this is because i had one 2 weeks ago by only knowing the definition of an LD and yah it was amazing!! The LD story is in a topic under quest for lucidity if you want to check it out, and yah thanks for reading!
I have been on this forum for a little while, posted a few times, but I never really introduced myself so I just wanted to say hi. I’ve been trying off and on to LD for about 10 months and I finally had my first LD about a week ago. Hoping to have more soon.
Not because it was short(it was probably too long) but because i knew I was in bed but didn’t know I fell asleep(darn third person view dream, making me think it was my when I’m awake imagination)
And I really want to know how being morphed FEELS, I don’t want to do it,and still feel human(i want to keep my mind though, some people claim to do dream things I’d think “Why in the world would you do that?!” when transformed because of instincts…)
Quote:
When I am dreaming I always know it, I often laugh at the stupid situations my dream self gets into, I will often make sarcastic remarks (eg. Great look there hon!), and when I get bored of a dream, I switch dreams conciously (I think: Okay, whatever, I’m bored of this situation now, what if I rode and elephant into school…) This is at night when I am sleeping. Not day dreams. Is this normal?
and someone talked about “lucid dreaming” I googled it, and I think I am a lucid dreamer. However I do not remember having a dream when I wasn’t concious it was a dream except for ONE time when I was about four years old (I remember the dream vividly and was convinced for years afterwards that it really happened)
the rest of the time though I ALWAYS know when I am dreaming, and I can always decide what i want to do. The only thing I cannot do is make myself fall asleep or continue on dreaming once I “surface”.
I always will make comments on myself on other people while I am sleeping, it is like I am watching myself in the movies and I critque myself.
I am sixteen years old-and I am a Christian (not that I think that makes a diffrence to my dreams!). So Hi, and any advice?
hello Inquisitive, welcome to LD4all
It’s good to see that you have a lot of natural ability.
so you still follow the dreamplot? and don’t take more control? it would be good to read some of your dreams and see how you influence them … if you wish we have a DJ forum for members to post online dream journals
I hope you enjoy your time here. If you read the topics in lucid adventures you will get a lot of ideas what to do in a lucid dream.
