Recently I was introduced to the world of lucid dreaming. I realized that I have been experiencing "lucid dreams" without even knowing that it was something "special" and that other people were having similar experiences. So, I was rather shocked when I viewed this mass forum.

I have been experiencing short lucid dreams taking part-control over my body but after a minute (well, thats how long it feels) I lose all control over the dream!

Can anyone help with a possible technique for retaining control (I've tried spinning, that did not work)?
