I'm having a hard time making my lucids last longer. Once I realize I'm dreaming I become lucid. The main part I'm having trouble with is stabilizing, I never had a chance with having a successful Lucid Dream. I've been having a few LDs lately but I haven't been able to stabilize them. I just wake up. There was only once when I was lucid and it only lasted a few minutes and it was great, but that was it. I get good at changing the contrast in the dream but I fail to attempt to stabilize it to make me explore areas, etc. Let me make it sound easier. When ever I get lucid. I am in lucidity. But when I'm in lucidity the dream only lasts a few seconds. How can I stop this from happening?

Also the main thing I'm curious about is when ever I'm in a LD. A dream character or an object, etc seems to make me lose concentration in the dream. A dream character tries to stop me from having a lucid dream or something like a car with no driver in it tries to hit me while I'm lucid. How can I stop all this and how can I make my self be in control? Sorry if this confuses anyone. I need to know how I can fix all this. And I've been keeping a DJ and been reading over my dreams. I don't get why this keeps happening.
