I know this only proves I’m a total noob at LDing even after years of trying and hundreds of LDs.
But I just had to share this with you:
What helped finally have long lucid dreams(more than a few seconds) is winking|)(I don’t know if this is the right word).
I’ve tried every technique known to man(ok, almost every), but as I accidently winked in a LD, I realised it prolonged my LD.
I don’t know if this will work for you as everyone is different, but I just thought this might help someone.
Meh, I used as that as a way to escape nightmares when I was little. If only I’d known I could do stuff while I was lucid…So if I try that’s id end up opening my “Real” eyes.
I tried winking in my last dream, but it only made me wake up a bit ifaster. >.<
Eh, but the dream was freaky anyways : P.
Its wierd, cause when i blinked, the eye i blinked sort of dug through into my real life vision and then went back into my dream, because i remember seeing the ceiling of my room in one eye and hearing my brother playing the computer.
