Tips on staying / increasing lucidity

When you first become lucid it's normal to get excited but it can sometimes wake you up or even make you think you've woken up only to wake up again later (false awakening).
So first things first: Try to stay calm, and if you do wake up, make sure you do a Reality Check just to make sure you aren't still dreaming.

Sometimes your in a lucid dream and it's still foggy or low detail just like a regular dream, there are lots of ways to try to fix this here are a few that have worked well for me, please comment if you have any good ones I have missed.

• Rub your hands together (makes you connect with the dream more in order to replicate the action, feelings and sounds your hands make).
• Spinning: Spin around like a child would when trying to get dizzy (could take you to a different location).
• Shout "Increase my Lucidity NOW!".
• Feel your eye lids on your face, are they closed? open them with your fingers.
• If you wear glasses take them off or put them on
• Touch walls and solid objects, paying attention to the detail, the feelings and the sounds.

Just a short list.
Also taking some off the shelf supplements or food and drinks have helped me and countless others, I will talk about some of them in my next post.
