Cool thing I've noticed about lucid dreaming is how I can stay in them, altho it took me a lot of experimenting to figure it out. It's possible, you just gotta not concentrate on the fact that you're in a bed lying down somewhere (that's guaranteed to wake you up
) -- basically, just focus on any part of the dream really hard. Really stare at it, really be in the moment with it, and just force the thoughts "oh i'm lying in a bed somewhere" out of your mind. Eventually I just "feel" the impending thoughts of being in a bed, just kinda fade away, and I feel much more "officially" in the dream, coz I'm enjoying the moment, not frantically trying to keep myself in it. Problem then is, actually staying lucid
most of the time, after about a minute I forget I'm lucid, and go back into dream mode. hehehe.
It's like... you gotta find a balance between "being aware that you're dreaming" and "staying in the moment, and not thinking about the 'real life' outisde of the dream". I've never done meditation, but I suppose it'd be a hell of a lot easier being good at that
