The past few days I've been having some lucid dreams but they always start on their own and only last several seconds or near a minute then I slip back into autopilot. How can I train myself to be able to lucid dream on command and stay lucid for hours?
I'm able to get out of body at will, with concentration and actually move shit around, or I could, but I DON'T slap the shit out of someone, or worse... but I don't. There's laws you don't cross there. But it also talks about lucid dreams if I'm not mistaken...
Also there's good stuff in diary form in Robert Monroe's books. He's the one who founded the Monroe Sleep Institute.

Honestly fascinating but I’d rather smoke an obscene amount of weed and have no dreams whatsoever.
You're really missing out. Dreams are such an amazing then, they take you to fantasy places only your subconscious mind could come up with. It's the closest you can get to full immersion virtual reality without connecting your brain to a computer.

Valerian root is great for lucid dreaming for me. I actually "direct" them from an overhead perspective @ times like a movie.
I used to take that and melatonin to help me fall alseep

Meh, I don't have time to get absorbed in that right now. Not for entertainment, at least. All I need is a glimpse, and I can intuit the rest of the meaningful content later via active imagination.

What time? You're asleep, might as well have something going on during that time.

"dreams are only amazing to those who couldnt shape reality to their desire" - adolf sh hitler.
I learned with the birth of my 3rd child, that I had and probably had been practicing out of body as a form of pain management and safety since I was about 6 years old.
It is one of many things, that I just did .. no training or reading or intent or whatever ...
It was not until I saw the birth video, and I started laughing - it became Crystal clear.
Much of my travels have been done with my eyes closed

what happened to you at 6 years old that you need to escape your body.
