Dream control! (Stabilization)
Now we get to the cool stuff! Dream Control! Now, Let's say you do get a lucid dream and it's your first one ever. Aside from the incredible feeling, you will also be very excited, too much excitement can destabilize the dream and end it all together. When a dream is destabilizing things will become harder to focus on, stuff may spin or just fade away all together, to prevent this you need to anchor yourself to the dream. To do this all you need to do is focus on something in the dream, like looking at a wooden chair, focus on its details. Another popular anchoring technique is to rub your hands together and focus on the friction, once you do this the dream should come back into focus. Some say spinning in a circle can also help to focus on the dream, however I've had no success with it. Again there are many different ways to anchor and different people will have different success rates. Side note: If you can focus hard enough your brain can detail things to such a point that they seem almost more realistic than real life, like you can see the detail;s even from your peripheries.
