How do a newbie stay lucid?

[Jooelo]

Hi y´all! I only have 8-12 LD´s a year But I´m always aware of them and know that I'm dreaming. But after a minute or so, I get the feeling of some sort of pressure on mye eyes and that they are closed (not in the Dream of course) and wanting to open. And each time that this happens i go "OOOH no! I aint gonna wake up from ths again!" and then the whole dream go black and....I awake, fully aware of my failure I have tried the "spinning" once, but couldn´t manage Any help out there?
