To move meant to risk waking up.
And so, I just stood still, trying not to get too excited. Having done a fair share of lucid dreaming in my past, I knew the ins and outs of the techniques…
But it was the part of staying calm upon a success that I'd never managed to master.
Maybe it was the immense weight of my discovery that allowed me to finally conquer this one last step of lucid dreaming… Or maybe this dream was simply that much more stable than a normal one.
Whatever the case, as the excitement continued to boil under my skin, I gritted my teeth and held it in, doing my absolute best not to let it get to my head.
'Slow and steady wins the race, man…' I thought, daring not to even open my mouth in fear that it would break the structure of this dream. 'Which is why, just breathe.'
