Hey, Benjamin, and I know what you're talkin about because I've had the same thing happen to me before. My first few lucid dreams always ended abruptly after only a few seconds of lucidity, or I would revert back to a normal dream. But, after several of those, I was more able to stabilize my dreams and at the same time, stay lucid.
What I started doing when I became lucid was to first stabilize myself in my dream to make sure I didnt just wake up instantly, after that, I unattached myself from the current dream sequence and performed impossible tasks, like flying for example, to keep my mind on the fact that this is not real...it's a dream. I figured that if you're performing tasks that are too realistic, or don't emphasize the fact that you're in a dream, an inexperienced lucid dreamer can easily fall back into normal sleep. It's really hard to go back to a normal dream when you're flying through the clouds in a vivid, stable lucid dream.
One last thing, they say not to get too excited when you realize you're dreaming, and that's true. However, for me at least, if I'm not excited enough, I'll lose awareness and slip back into a regular dream. It's really a balance between not waking myself up, and not letting myself fall asleep....that's the best way I can phrase it.
Anyway, good luck in your next lucid dream.
