Conversations can cause lower lucidity and a loss of dream stability. For some reason getting involved in conversations and other dream plots can wake you up. I am not sure why this happens. My best guess is that getting involved in plot lines narrows your focus which subsequently kills lucidity or your dream. Try to focus on more than just the current conversation. Or avoid them all together.
