I am interested to hear what other people have done in their journey to maintain lucidity during dreams what has worked and what they have learned from.
I made this question because this morning i had a dream that was so frustrating. I’ve been making progress maintaining lucid dreams at first i used to lose my vision and then just wake up now i have been able to remain lucid with no vision long enough to wait until another dream emerges and then usually it will result in a false awakening or a non lucid dream… this time it was somehow in the middle because as i was lucidly aware i remember thinking “okay be prepared for a false awakening he prepared for a non lucid dream and you will remain lucid” but i woke up not even in my own bed with my brother and girlfriend next to me (obviously still dreaming) and i immediately start explaining the dream i had and how excited i was to continue the lucidity and i start non lucidly justifying how this is the real reality and how i couldn’t be dreaming because you’re both here and so are our dogs and we were picking the dogs up in the dream… which makes Zero sense and it was as if i got flashed with a men in black mind stick then i ended up getting thrown into another Dream scape eventually waking up unable to attain that second stage of lucidity … it really speaks volumes of how unkowingly addicted i am to non lucidity…

Usually, I try to stick my had through walls. It’s my go-to lucidity confirmer. Whenever I decide to do it, a wall appears, I pierce through it, and I continue being lucid—all except for the other night when I was certain I was lucid and tried to stick my hand through a bank wall and it didn’t go. I laughed and woke up. I got frustrated for a bit but then there is always tonight!

I have found that rubbing my hands together and spinning as if I were a top have both helped to ground and prolong lucidity when I felt the dream breaking up or fading. Though I have also woken myself up by rushing into rubbing my (dream) hands only to start rubbing my physical hands. (Oops!)

Yes I’ve also done similar things like spin around to avoid the collapse I’m not necessarily concerned about the collapse because i found i can remain calm enough to not wake up i just lose all of my senses and then it’s a waiting game for me to get put into a non lucid dream … i need to do more physical reality checks
