All techniques have their pros and cons, I will try to rate them according to my experience. The factors i will take in consideration are:

(keep in mind that this are the results for me, Lucid Dreaming techniques often give different results for different people)

• How hard it is to perform(time taken and complications)
• How effective it is for increasing clearness and vividness
• How effective it is for increasing consciousness
• How effective it is for stabilizing a dream when its fading away

1. Palms Rubbing

Put your hands together and rub them, feel the sensation of touch and warmth.

→ This is a handy way to get out of the blackout (the event of loosing sight)

Its best to have one routine that includes all the techniques, mine is basically 1, 2-3, 4:

When I realize that I am dreaming I instantly start with rubbing my palms. Next I do the tornado spin and shout “I AM IN A LUCID DREAM” while I am spinning . After that I shout “INCREASE LUCIDITY”. And lastly I perform the focus technique to give me extra edge.

And I do the same each time I notice that the dream is fading away.
