Thanks guys,

It seems you have a problem with getting overexcited. Don't get all "OMG I'm having a Lucid!!!" Just stay calm.

Here's a technique I use to help with that stuff: Once you find out you're dreaming, whisper "I'm dreaming" to yourself in your head. This will keep you lucid, but not awake. Try to do stuff you normally would think of in an LD. Keep reminding yourself of this. Constantly. Keep it up until you wake up.

Hope this helps.
