My Dream Stabilization Technique

My first couple of  lucid dreams did not last long at all, only a few seconds to a minute at the most. Well I got frustrated and started looking for ways to expand my time inside a dream. Once I learned about dream stabilization I was able to last much longer and finally feel what it really means to be in a lucid dream. By doing this technique your lucid dreams will last anywhere from 10-60 minutes. With more experience it will become easy to induce a lucid dream that lasts over half an hour. I hope you will benefit from this Stabilization Technique.

Once you realize you are dreaming you will need too,

• Reality check- This will just help assure yourself you are dreaming.

• Focus- Focusing involves relaxing and bringing your attention to the task of dream stabilization. Many newbie lucid dreamers want to rush into the dream, and start having as much fun as they can before the dream ends. What usually happens is you get really excited, and your mind starts bouncing around from thought to thought. The result will be waking up. You will need to keep these three things in mind, Stop. Relax. Focus. You will want be as calm as possible. Think of it like this, you are playing poker and in your hand you hold all four A's, even though you want to show your excitement you must control yourself. You must also firmly believe that you have plenty of time because you are in control. 

• Hand Examination- Now hold your hands up in front of you look at them very closely. Notice every single detail, from wrinkles and to the little hairs. Take your time, the longer you do this the longer your dream will last. 

•  Verbal Commands- Once you have carefully examined your hands, start to rub them together. Feel the heat your hands are producing by rubbing them together. While doing this say, "Increase lucidity now"! by saying this you have just asked the dream to allow you to see more clearly.                                                             

Now put your hands down, look up everything should look as clear as water. You can now proceed to have fun and explore the world inside you. Reminding yourself you are dreaming through out the dream this will help you from loosing awareness. Also, remember to re-stabilize every so often you feel like the dream is fading away.
