How To Make Lucid Dreams Last Longer
The goal of making lucid dreams last longer is to extend the duration of time that you are aware that you are dreaming and in control of your dream. In order to have a more vivid and memorable experience, it is very important to make your lucid dream duration longer.
Intention Setting
Set an intention to have a long lucid dream before falling asleep. Make a firm resolve that you must stay in a lucid dream for a very long time.
Stay Focused
If you enter a lucid dream then try to remain calm and focused in the dream. You must know that excitement and fear can cause the dream to end prematurely. So, keep this in mind.
Feel Dream Environment
Engage in activities that are interesting such as exploring the dream environment or touching dream objects. This can help to hold your attention in the dream world and make the dream last longer.
Use Dream Stabilizing Technique
To make lucid dreams last longer you have to perform some dream stabilization techniques, such as rubbing your hands together or spinning in place.
This stops dreams from fading. I often prevent my dreams from fading by using the rubbing hands' technique. Believe me, this is a very effective method.
Talk With Dream Characters
Try to interact with your dream environment as much as possible like talking with dream characters. This can help anchor you in the dream and make it feel more real. Talking to the people present in the dream is certainly a lot of fun.
Set Goals
Before sleeping, visualize what you want to do in a lucid dream. Maybe your goal is to meet someone in your dream or to visit a new place.
The main point is to set a goal or task to accomplish in the dream. This can help to keep you motivated and focused on the dream.
Use Dream Clarity
Try to resist the urge to wake up, even if the dream starts to become unstable. While looking at the sky in your dream, shout loudly to clarify this dream and then see what happens.
This will work because dreams are created by your subconscious mind. Beliefs are very important and necessary in dreams.
More Dream Stabilization Techniques
- Avoid becoming too emotionally charged in the dream, as strong emotions can cause the dream to end. If you are meeting a dead loved one in your dream, do not try to get emotional.
- Practice lucid dreaming regularly, as this can help you to become more skilled at maintaining lucidity and prolonging your dreams. Practice awareness at all times and keep in mind that before you can become aware in dreams, you have to be aware during the waking state.
- Use techniques to extend the length of your sleep, such as taking a warm bath before bed or using relaxation techniques to fall asleep more quickly. This can give you more time to spend in the dream state. Calm your mind completely before sleeping. If you feel a headache after waking up in the morning, it simply means that you slept last night while overthinking. The bad habit of sleeping while overthinking is a great hindrance to lucid dreaming. Understand it well.
- Try to focus on the sensory details in your dream, such as the sights, sounds, and feelings you experience. This can help to make the dream more vivid, and real and may help to prolong the dream.
- Use affirmations in the dream, such as saying to yourself "I am dreaming" or "This is a dream." This can help to reinforce the idea that you are in a dream and may help to keep the dream from ending.
- Try to keep your dream body moving. By keeping the body in motion in the dream, the part of the brain which is responsible for the dream remains more active. This can help to prevent the dream from ending and may also help to stabilize the dream.
- Try to remain aware of the fact that you are dreaming at all times. Keep doing reality checks again and again in your dreams. By doing reality checks, your focus will remain in the dream world. This can help to keep you in a lucid state and may help to prolong the dream.
- Try not to get too excited or overstimulated in the dream. If you are a beginner in lucid dreaming, then my advice is not to try thrilling things such as dream sex. Right now you do not have that much experience with this type of dream. If you simulate an erotic dream, you will become very aroused and wake up from the dream. That's why first you set your foot in the world of lucid dreams and then experience such exciting things.
- Avoid waking up immediately after the dream ends. Instead, try to stay in the hypnagogic state (the state between wakefulness and sleep) for a few minutes and see if another dream begins. In most cases, immediately after waking up from one dream, you go to another. If your level of awareness is good then you will become aware in that second dream also.
- Try to have a clear idea of what you want to do or experience in the dream before you fall asleep. This can help to give you a sense of purpose and may help to keep the dream going. Plan what you want to do in a lucid dream before you go to sleep.
- Consider using binaural beats or other brainwave entrainment techniques to help prolong your lucid dreams. These techniques can help to keep you in a state of deep relaxation and may help to extend the duration of your dreams.
