How to Maintain a Lucid Dream
By Kerry McGlone | Guest Writer for Wake Up World
Okay, so you’ve experienced a lucid dream. That’s great! Can you maintain a lucid state?
Unfortunately, the first time you experience a lucid dream may not last very long. You may become aware of the lucidity, get excited and wake up as a result. This is completely normal. It is common for first time lucid dreamers to be unable to sustain a lucid dream for a long period of time. Although it may seem like a bad thing to wake up from being excited (and it’s disappointing, that’s for sure), at least you’re on your way to sustaining a lucid dream for a long period of time.
As you progress into the lucid dream, ensure you remain calm and focus on the dream itself, and nothing else. When entering, pause for a second. Try to grasp the scenario, and then proceed calmly. Don’t focus too much on actually controlling the dream at first – that may require more experience to be done correctly. First things first: focus solely on remaining lucid and nothing else. In order to focus on anything else, you will first need to perfect the time you remain lucid – this is essential!
By all means, feel free to experiment with your lucid dream, just don’t get so overwhelmed by the whole experience. This will reduce the likeliness of remaining in the lucid state.
