I used to lucid dream alot, but not recently. I would do the "hands" technique, which used to be really successful, but not anymore. Anyone know any other techniques?
The hands technique is while you are awake, ask yourself once and awhile if you are dreaming, then look at your hands. Do this a few times a day. When you are dreaming, you will do it automatically. Your hands won't look the same and your brain will realize it is dreaming.
Have fun!
one more tip. One way to prolong the lucid dream, if you feel like you're going to wake up, make yourself spin in your dream. Worked for me.
