It's been about a year since I started trying to lucid dream, and now I remember at least a dream or two a night, and I have become lucid several times, though very briefly. In my dreams, when I become lucid (has happened about 6 times) I generally try spinning to solidify the dream. Unfortunately this rarely works, and in fact makes things less clear and I wake up a few seconds later. Just last night I became lucid, rubbed my hands together (I found that this DID help) but then I spun after that to try to makes things even clearer, and in the dream I got dizzy from spinning just once, stumbled a bit, and woke up.

SO I'm not going to try spinning anymore, but definitely rubbing my hands together. What I want to know, is if any of you at one point had the same problem, and if so any techniques you used to overcome this barrier.
Thanks!
