I dont get half of your post but anyway try reading some tutorials about dream control. ( in case you didnt )

sorry my key bored is gay lol

basicly what im saying is i did spin in it (spinning make the lucid dream last longer if its about to end) but then i had a false wake up then went back to sleep hand another 4 lucid dream onaly lasting 10 seconds

Well you are exceptionally lucky to have 4 lucid dreams in one night.
You need to work on your control a bit more, I suggest that you do regular RC within the lucid dream. To keep yourself under control.

I read a study on REM onset as a result of naps, and they found that napping before sleep gets you ahead into longer REM periods when you finally go to sleep. Basically it's just like a very long WBTB. I think this could definitely help you have longer REM periods later in the night, especially if you nap for a few hours, are up for a a bit (it said they found results up to 8 and 12 hours later), and then go back to sleep for the night.

I don't think that taking such a very short nap as you did would make a big difference at all though. I think most likely you got very lucky with the false awakenings. If I were you, I'd just concentrate on reality checking thoroughly whenever you wake up and/or get out of bed, especially if you do remember getting FAs very frequently.

Also, this belongs in Attaining Lucidity.

Merged and moved duplicate threads~

Listen to Shift, she knows her stuff.

Moved back to dream control~

Since it's been merged the new topic seems to be more along the lines of dream stabilization than napping to induce LDs. I think maybe he had them flip-flopped because now this one seems like it should go into dream control?

Anyway, OP- try to make sure that your dream is stabilized mentally and.... dreamily... before you try to do things.

thank you i was also cold and shivering and i think that it woke me up.

thank you

I wouldnt be doing the spinning anyway.

One time I tried spinning, a flash of white, woke up.

I have had really great results with focusing on an object like a tree. Just noticing how detailed it is has really suken me deeper into lucidity and it just a really great feeling.
