I was having a lucid dream and decided to examine my hands since I had not seen the melting hands before. They didn't melt away though. They looked just like my real hands and held their shape firmly.
So, do you think that it happens for most people because they expect it to? When I did it I went about it in a passive way, not really expecting this or that but just examining.
Your hands only start to melt if your checking if your lucid or not. Once you are lucid they don't melt because you have full control.
Oh ok. Thanks for clearing it up.
