Thread: How lucid are you when lucid dreaming ?

I don't really have a stabilization routine. I just rub my hands together and touch things, as I pay attention to the dreamworld and how realistic it is. Can I feel my leg muscles contract as I walk ? Can I feel the wind around me ? Stuff like that.
In almost everyone of my longer and more realistic LDs, you'll find that I'm almost constantly stabilizing (usually rubbing my hands together) when I'm not doing anything that requires me to shift my attention.
The way I do dream control also heavily relies on sensations, so that might help.

Hope it helps, good luck

Yes i was toying with the idea that for the next few lucid dreams, i would try to see how much clarity / stable i could make my dream as the actual goal of the lucid dream itself. The issue is once lucid, one wants to 'get going' and fly off to fight dragons etc. It may not be as exciting but once real stabilization is achieved within the dream , then it will be much longer and clearer and i really can go and fuck up those fire breathing oversized chicken heads lol.

So yes, great advice, for the next few lucids, my goal will be to get a real grip of clarity and stabilization and then it will become the norm at the beginning of an LD

Also, do you have a DEILD plan in mind when you are in a lucid dream for when it fades? If so, what do you do exactly? thank you

Thanks for the advice
