Techniques For Retaining Lucidity Options

I havent had a lucid dream in about 4 months now but when I have one I keep having them. I started practiciing ways to maintain lucidity and hold the images I see in the dream.

One thing I know for sure is if I concentrate on a certain object for more than a few seconds the whole dream disintegrates or I fade back into unconscious dreaming. I heard of a technique in which you look at your hands and just as they start to disintegrate you shift your attention to another object and keep doing it. The more you do it the longer you can stare at a certain object before it starts to fade.

From just practicing this everytime I find myself in a lucid dream ive managed to hold my lucid dreams for what seems to be about 20 minutes sometimes. I havent attained the ability to manifest objects at will but when im lucid dreaming I can stop traffic, break walls with my fist, jump 50 feet into the air, and ive actually gained the ability to fly at will and sometimes move through solid objects such as walls (I find that the hardest to do, usually I get stuck inside the wall and wake up).

I could never fly up until one day I just started doing it by accident I found myself flying by holding onto a bin in the subway station. Now every time im in a lucid dream all I have to do is run and jump and I can fly.

Do any of you know any good techniques to maintain lucidity, prevent the scenery from fading, and increase your abilities while lucid dreaming?

Are you too obsessed about your health? primarly what you're eating? A health finatic?

Nope. Im actually the complete opposite. Im getting better now but Im usually real compulsive when it comes to eating. Whenever I get a craving for a certain type of fast food I just go out and get it.

Maybe at the time I was getting concerned that I was eating too much crap because I feel sick the odd time from eating too much of the shit
