That was a fully lucid dream....congratulations!!

It faded and you woke up in bed. Hey, that happens.

I think the more often you become lucid, the longer you'll be able to make them last.

The only tip I can offer is, you said you were very excited and ran around, this is probably what cuts short your lucid dreams. Try to stay cool and take it in your stride?
