The Spin Technique
How to Avoid Waking From Your Lucid Dreams
Some people fear that they will be "trapped" in a lucid dream and never wake. In reality, most people find that they wake from the lucid dream state far too easily. This especially true when you're new to lucid dreaming; the sudden realisation "I've done it!" can shock you awake.Delay
The spin technique is a widely used method to prevent lucid dreams from ending - or at least to delay the moment.If you feel yourself beginning to wake from a lucid dream, the spin technique is very simple to use. Just stand still, extend your arms, then start to spin on the spot. Start slowly then gradually speed p. As you see the world around you spinning and the colours flowing, think of the dream location you want to see when you stop. Then slowly stop spinning and with any luck you'll be back in lucidity.
