I have two questions. The first question is how do I stay in a lucid dream for more than like 20 seconds haha. I've only had one lucid that was like 2 minutes long but all my other ones are short. Last night I had multiple lucids but they were all short and in one of them, I remembered to use my senses. I ended up in the park behind my house and was right next to this big redwood tree and started feeling the tree, smelling it, and actually took a piece of bark and started chewing on it haha, but I woke up. But I woke up with bark in my mouth and put it on the ground in my room and then woke up again for real haha. In that lucid I used most of my senses but still the dream faded away. Also, I've been using visualization to become lucid, and this moring I was able to get 4 scenes to form by just visualizing. But my problem with this, is that I'll start to see the dream form, but once I'm almost fully in the dream, it just fades away. How do I keep the dream from fading away in this situation. For example this morning I started visualizing myself in a back of a jeep driving in a desert coming out of a valley and I started feeling myself in the back of the jeep and I could hear people screaming from excitement, bu then it faded away. I had this happen two other times this morning during different situations.
