Hey, I've been into lucid dreaming for around 9 months now and have become quite good at DILDs, however, I struggle to stay in them.

For example, last night I was in a DILD and the dream was at a party. After what seemed like maybe 1 minute 30 seconds I was losing stability, so I dream spun and ended up in another scenario which included an other-worldly landscape which I wanted to explore, however, after maybe 30 seconds I lost it again and woke up.

It's really frustrating because attaining lucidity is hard enough but not being able to have time within them is simply depressing. I've tried the rubbing hands together technique initially but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Also, my dream control seems ok, I can conjure the exact people I want and make them do what I want them to. I just really need help on how to prolong the lucidity.

Thank you, Fungi
