How to stay asleep during lucid dreaming

It seems like I've had lucid dreams during every night for the past two weeks. It's great fun, but the problem is that I tend to wake up very soon after I realize I'm dreaming.

Does anyone have any tips how to prevent one from waking up?
 
Buy some calea zacatechichi and make a tea out of it. I recently tried it out and it makes for very long and less random memorable dreams. As far as lucid dreaming, I really couldn't do it because the dreams seemed way too much like real life, but I hear many people have better results.

Other than that I wouldn't know what you could try. Seems a lot of people have that problem of becoming lucid but waking up because of it.
 
Lock yourself in the isolation tank and get some LSD.

Friend. Bludgeon.
 
A heavy blunt object used to hit people with.

If you induce unconsciousness you'll be able to stay there longer!
 
I thought I read something about a way to induce lucid dreaming, but its difficult. I've immediately jumped into a few lucid dreams, instead of realizing it in the dream, but have always woken up because of something.
 
Cyanide pills usually keep me asleep for quite a while, until that damn cat comes and starts meowing at 8 in the morning :|
 
I always wake up when I realize I'm lucid dreaming, I usually only have about 45 or 60 seconds of lucidity to enjoy before I inevitably wake up and lose it. Generally I spend those seconds flying and/or having sex with Natalie Portman.

i may want to try this, considering how cheap it is
 
I read somewhere that when the dream is getting more blurry and/or fading away, you have to shout "CONTROL!", "FOCUS!" or something like that to yourself. It did make the dream last a bit longer for me a few times.
 
By the time I blatantly think "This is a dream", it's way too late.
 
I remember i had this lucid dream once, I took control forawhile before i lost it and then thought that everything was life again
 
Wait... You mean you can't? First off man, you got to realize one thing:
Your dream is your B****.
Next, try not to think when your dreaming. The extra though, such as you over-thinking the dream, will cause oxygen to flood into your brain, jolting you awake.

Next lesson. How to control the dream.
This is the really hard part. What you need to do, is try to wake your self up when you have a nightmare, when things start to go bad. When this becomes a reality, you can move on to the next step.

What you want to do next, is during a nightmare, think "Wait. Ninjas can't kill me. It's Illegal.", or some thing like that. Once you have done that, you will be able to mold your dream-scape as you see fit. This is right when you will be able to control dreams.

Finally, make a habit of it. Try to mold your dreams more often. And, you shall have dream mastery!

Only draw-back, is that I only rarely dream now, so you have to chose; Risk not having them, or have them the way I want.

Hope this was helpful.
