Congrats!!

Or, when you realize dream is ending, try to not wake up. When this happens to me, It just happens automatically. I can't really chose to wake up or not. At least not on conscious level.

But when I stay asleep and aware, I just lay there and I wait for next dream. Because even if dream collapses or ends, that doesn't mean you woke up. Even if everytime it feels to me like I woke up. I mean I lay there thinking "oh great, it's over, now what". Then I realize "wait a minute, I'm still here, I'll just wait for another dream". Then I realize I don't need to wait for another dream, since I am still asleep I can just stand up and be lucid. By then some visuals normally appear and I'm lucid in a dream, or they don't and I'm walking around in darkness yelling "look how bright it is" in hope to trick my mind and gain some vision. This way you can chain your LDs untill you decide you had enough, haha.

Oh, and while I am inbetween, I try to retell my previous LD with words, not just flash through the images of it, to commit it to my daytime memory. And I also count them, so if later I forget some transitions, I still know how many I had.
