I have started having fairly regular lucid dreams each weekend. Always with WBTB in conjunction with MILD. Every time I become Lucid in my bed then proceed to explore. I have had success with levitation, flying and summoning dream characters. Sounds great right? Here is the problem, once I get the action going, its over. The longest Lucid have ever had felt like about six minutes. Finally get control of flying. dream over. Manage to lift car with my mind. Dream over. Hot x-girlfriend walks through the door and says hello. DREAM OVER.

I know that staying calm and dream stabilization is supposed to cure this problem but strange things happen when I spin or rub my hands together or say clarity now. Once i got dizzy and couldn't stand up straight any more. Another time I saw a weird afterimage of the side of my nose in my right eye. End result every time is disappointment. I have tried setting intention and meditation and everything else i can think of. Any ideas out there. I feel like I am so close to some amazing adventures if I could only stay in the dream.

Thanks.
